     The image shows in background the building stylized by the university, in front of which are present students with flags and their demands registered on paper, pamphlets in the right hand. Above the inscription in " May, 1968 ", to the left of the motive are the marks of Herzele, the Dutch currency Utrecht, as well as "2018" and "BE". On the outside ring, twelve stars of the European flag are represented.
