The UM Digos College and the year it was founded, 1949, are inscribed on top and below, respectively inside an outer circle edged with waves. The inner circle has the Latin words,“Vincit Omnia Veritas,” meaning Truth Conquers All. Over it is two (2) laurel leaf branches symbolizing honor and achievement, framing a vinta on a wavy sea, whose giant sail has the initials of UM, with the horizon behind. This conveys the message “Sail On” or “Move On.” In the sky above the horizon are five (5) stars representing the heavenly bodies that influence the destiny of the youth, Hope of the Fatherland.
