The emblem for Pan African University blends academic tradition with Afrocentric power. At its center is a detailed Black Panther head, symbolizing strength and legacy, flanked by "BLK" and "PTRS" over "20" and "50"—a nod to the Black Panthers and a vision for Africa as a global superpower by 2050. The bold "PAN AFRICAN" title and "UNIVERSITY" banner ground the design in scholarly pride.
