In SDA education, two symbols have long expressed the mission of the church. These are the circle, representing the globe of the entire world to receive the "gospel of the kingdom," and the equal-sided triangle, representing the harmonious development of man’s threefold nature as a physical, mental, and spiritual being.

In the AIIAS logo these two symbols, the circle and the triangle, are superimposed and recast as the Alpha and Omega, symbolizing Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith. In Him the plan of salvation, from the Creation to the Second Advent, is actualized. As the Living Word, Christ comprises the divine medium of God’s communication with man. The rendering of the logo in an Asian calligraphic style accents the institutional context of the Asia-Pacific region.

The embracing branches of the palm tree, so much in evidence on the AIIAS campus, express the joy and victory of the believer’s life in Christ. The waving of the palm frond on festive occasions has long marked the religious celebrations of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

The page header above represents the AIIAS mission of preparing graduates to work as servant-leaders in completing the gospel commission.  In the graphic, AIIAS is seen propelling through the blackness of space carrying light and hope to dispel the darkness of sin.  The luminescence coming from AIIAS represents the radiant light of truth and the joy of salvation.  

The bright light from which AIIAS emanates represents Christ, the Son of Righteousness, the only source of true wisdom.   Education of the highest level is reached only by making the light of the world the central focus of study.  Jesus said of Himself, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."    John 8:12
