Abstract

In the modern era, logo perception has become crucial as logos serve as visual representations of an institution's identity and values. This research emphasizes the critical role of logo symbolism in shaping the identity and communication strategies of State Islamic Universities (UIN) in Central Java, Indonesia. Despite its significance, there is a notable research gap in the semiotic analysis of these logos, particularly concerning the integration of Islamic identity with local cultural heritage. This study aims to decode the implicit meanings in the logos of UINs in Central Java, examining how these symbols reflect both the universities’ Islamic values and their modern, inclusive identities. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology with semiotic analysis based on Charles Peirce’s semiotics theory and also Cerrato’s color theory, data were collected through documentation techniques from online repositories. The analysis covered logos from UIN Walisongo, UIN Raden Mas Said, UIN Salatiga, UIN Prof. K.H. Saifuddin Zuhri, and UIN K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid. Findings reveal that each logo carries layered symbolic meanings, incorporating symbols that reflect Islamic values while harmonizing with local culture. Elements such as gunungan, flowers, and color schemes (green, white, yellow, orange, gold, and black) are prevalent, symbolizing a commitment to preserving cultural values and advancing progressive Islamic education. This study highlights the importance of understanding logo symbolism for reinforcing institutional identity and enhancing public perception, offering insights that could strengthen the global competitiveness and appeal of UINs.

Abstract

This study examines how vision and mission statements of state junior high schools in Salatiga, Indonesia, reflect climate change awareness and support Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13: Climate Action. Using qualitative content analysis of official school documents, it evaluates the presence of environmental themes and how these are translated from vision into mission. The findings show that all schools incorporate environmental themes, indicating strong awareness. However, only 20% demonstrate high alignment through structured and measurable programs, while 40% show partial implementation and the remaining 40% remain largely symbolic. These results suggest that SDG 13 is predominantly interpreted at the level of awareness, with limited integration of mitigation and adaptation strategies. A clear gap exists between institutional intention and operational practice. This study highlights vision–mission alignment as an indicator of school readiness and underscores its implications for strengthening environmental and science education in schools.
