Faculty logo
Symbolism: The basic logo symbols are the digits 1 and 0, which directly reference the binary number system digits as the basis of any computer system. Also, the logo can be read as the number 10 (ten) - the highest grade a student can achieve in Macedonian higher education.
Because of the shape of two elements, the numbers 1 and 0 can be seen as a Latin letter "I" and "O" that carry additional association of the term Input/Output, directly associated with the transfer of knowledge and their spread outside the Faculty, or with Information Education, as a central activity of the Faculty.
