===Insignia===
====Coat of arms====
The [[grant of arms]] was made by the [[College of Arms]] on 3 March 1952. The grant reads:
:''Argent on a Cross Gules a Lion passant guardant between four Mullets of eight points Or a Chief Sable charged with an open Book proper thereon the word "SCIENTIA" in letters also sable.''<ref>[http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/archive/historical/UNSWCalendar2002.pdf UNSW Calendar 2002] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202051716/http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/archive/historical/UNSWCalendar2002.pdf |date=2 February 2017 }}, University of New South Wales, page 5, accessed 29 January 2017.</ref>
The lion and the four stars of the [[Southern Cross]] on the [[St George's Cross]] have reference to the [[Coat of arms of New South Wales|State of New South Wales]] which established the university; the open book with ''scientia'' ("knowledge") across its pages is a reminder of its purpose. The placement of ''scientia'' on the book was inspired by its appearance on the [[Coat of arms of Imperial College London|arms of Imperial College London]], formed in 1907. Beneath the shield are the Latin words within a [[Speech scroll|scroll]]: ''"Corde Manu et Mente"'' ("heart, hand and mind"), which when combined with ''scientia'' forms the [[Latin]] [[motto]] of the university: ''Scientia Corde Manu et Mente'' or 'Knowledge by heart, hand and mind'.

The original motto of the university, from 1952 was ''Scientia Manu et Mente'' ("Knowledge by hand and mind"), which used the earlier motto of the [[Sydney Technical College]] (''Manu et Mente'' or 'by hand and mind') from which the university developed.<ref name=unswcoa>{{cite web|url=http://www.facilities.unsw.edu.au/index.php/download_file/-/view/74|title=UNSW Symbol Guidelines|publisher=University of New South Wales|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118055659/http://www.facilities.unsw.edu.au/index.php/download_file/-/view/74|archive-date=18 January 2012}}</ref> In 2021, the motto was changed, with approval from the College of Arms, to its current form to reflect the university's brand concept of 'collective difference'.<ref>{{cite web |title=UNSW crest gets a heart |url=https://www.inside.unsw.edu.au/campus-life/unsw-crest-gets-heart |website=Inside UNSW |publisher=UNSW |access-date=20 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225120220/https://www.inside.unsw.edu.au/campus-life/unsw-crest-gets-heart |archive-date=25 February 2021}}</ref> Following the rules of [[English heraldry]], the motto does not form part of the arms and consequently the alteration did not formally require approval of the College of Arms.

An update of the design and colours of the arms was undertaken in 1970, which provided a more contemporary design, yet retained all the arms' heraldic associations. In 1994, the university title was added to the arms, as was the abbreviation "UNSW", to create the UNSW symbol that is used for everyday and marketing purposes.<ref name=unswcoa/>

====Market Branding====
While its name remains unchanged, in late 2013, the university adopted the business name "UNSW Australia" for branding and marketing.<ref name =UA>{{cite web |title = Brand Fast Facts |url = http://www.marketingservices.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/uploads/Brand%20Fast%20Facts%20Dec%202013.pdf |website=marketingservices.unsw.edu.au |publisher=University of New South Wales |access-date=24 September 2014 |date=December 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150301012930/http://www.marketingservices.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/uploads/Brand%20Fast%20Facts%20Dec%202013.pdf |archive-date=1 March 2015 }}</ref> On 24 June 2016 the university registered and the business name "UNSW Sydney" which it adopted in January 2017 for branding and marketing of its Sydney campus and similarly registered and adopted the business name "UNSW Canberra" for its Australian Defence Force Academy campus in Campbell, ACT.<ref name="styleguide">{{cite web |title=UNSW Product Style Guide |url=https://bacs.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/UNSW%20Product%20Style%20Guide.pdf |publisher=UNSW Sydney |access-date=17 April 2020 |date=2018 |archive-date=8 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200308035950/https://bacs.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/UNSW%20Product%20Style%20Guide.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Mace====
The [[ceremonial mace]] of the university is made of stainless steel with silver facings and a shaft of [[Acacia stenophylla|eumung]] timber. On the head are mounted four silver shields, two engraved with the [[Coat of arms of New South Wales|arms of the State of New South Wales]] and two with the original-design arms of the university. A silver [[Waratah]], NSW's floral emblem, surmounts the head. The mace was donated to the university by [[BHP]] and was presented by the company's chairman, [[Colin Syme]], on 6 December 1962.<ref>{{cite book|title=Event Program – Presentation of the Mace|date=6 December 1962|publisher=University of New South Wales|url=http://encore.library.uow.edu.au/iii/cpro/app?id=2944366736812714&itemId=1002679&lang=eng&service=blob&suite=def|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150118114329/http://encore.library.uow.edu.au/iii/cpro/app?id=2944366736812714&itemId=1002679&lang=eng&service=blob&suite=def|archive-date=18 January 2015}}</ref> A former NSW Government Architect, [[New South Wales Government Architect##Cobden Parkes (1935 – 1958)|Cobden Parkes]], was appointed as the first official [[mace-bearer]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=O'Farrell|first1=Patrick|title=UNSW, a Portrait: The University of New South Wales, 1949-1999|date=1999|publisher=University of New South Wales Press|location=Kensington|isbn=0-86840-417-9|page=5}}</ref>
