LDU Quito’s badge uses a large inverted triangle divided diagonally into blue and red sections, bordered in gold. A bold white “U” sits in the centre with a gold outline and shadow, while five gold stars are arranged above the crest.
The central “U” is the clearest element of the badge and points directly to Liga Deportiva Universitaria’s university identity. Its heavy block lettering makes the mark readable even without the full club name, which is why the team is widely recognized simply as “La U.”
The blue-and-red triangle is part of Liga’s historic badge structure, while the white “U” connects with the club’s long association with white kits and the nickname Los Albos. The gold border and stars add a more modern, trophy-era presentation around the traditional triangular base.
Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito was officially founded on 11 January 1930, with roots in a university sports team that began at the Central University of Ecuador in 1918. Based in Quito, the club has become one of Ecuador’s most successful sides domestically and internationally, and its badge keeps the university letterform at the centre of that identity.
