=== Coat of arms ===
The University of New Brunswick's official [[coat of arms]] was introduced in 1956 after being approved by the University of New Brunswick Senate. Previously, UNB's only insignia was the Great Seal, which the [[New Brunswick Legislative Assembly]] granted during the Act of the University of New Brunswick in 1859. In 1952, a subcommittee of the UNB Senate was tasked with considering designs and suggestions.

The coat of arms features two gold [[beaver]]s in front of a crimson background, on either side of the Book of Learning, which features the University's motto ''Sapere Aude''. The bottom part of the shield contains a ship in front of a gold background, adapted from the [[Coat of arms of New Brunswick|New Brunswick coat of arms]]. This recognizes UNB's status as a provincial university.

The design was described by a proclamation from the [[College of Heralds]] as follows:
