Texas A&M University-Victoria (TAMU-Victoria) has unveiled its new branding ahead of its official transition to the Texas A&M University System, which is set to take place on September 1, 2025. The announcement was made by Chancellor Glenn Hegar at the University of Houston-Victoria (UHV) campus, marking a significant milestone in the university’s evolution.

The new branding includes a reimagined logo, updated wordmarks, and athletics icon marks. Despite the changes, the university will retain its dominant red color and the jaguar mascot, although an updated design for the mascot has been incorporated into the new branding. This move is intended to honor UHV’s identity while aligning it with the broader values and aesthetic of Texas A&M.

Chancellor Hegar noted that the transition process has been going smoothly, attributing this success to the collaboration between the Texas A&M team and local leaders. The aim is to ensure a seamless experience for students, faculty, and staff as they move to the new university system.

Significance of the Transition

Mayor Duane Crocker highlighted the importance of this transition for the region, calling it a historic milestone that will expand opportunities for students and the local community. The transition is anticipated to strengthen TAMU-Victoria’s role in the region and contribute to economic development.

The updated branding reflects Texas A&M’s ongoing commitment to providing more resources and a broader range of academic offerings to the community. A cohesive jaguar design will be used for both the university and athletics, emphasizing a unified image that resonates with the community.

Community Engagement and Future Goals

During his visit, Chancellor Hegar engaged with the supporters and stakeholders within the Victoria community and attended a luncheon with local leaders. The emphasis on community partnership is central to the vision for TAMU-Victoria, which is positioned to serve as an anchor for economic development in the area.

With expectations of no significant roadblocks during the transition, leaders are optimistic about the future. The new logo, characterized by modern typography, symbolizes TAMU-Victoria’s commitment to progress while honoring its historical roots.

Continued Collaboration

The branding was developed collaboratively by UHV staff and the Texas A&M System’s branding office, reflecting input from the local community and ensuring that the school’s identity is both recognized and respected in the transition.

As the clock counts down to the official transition date, attention will remain focused on how this change will affect academic offerings, community engagement, and the overall student experience. With ongoing support from local leaders, the integration into the Texas A&M University System aims to enhance educational opportunities and services for Victoria residents.
