This university has adopted a new flag. Additionally, this article also shows the original Ryerson Polytechnical Institute flag: https://www.torontomu.ca/news-events/news/2025/11/tmu-unveils-bold-new-university-flag

Desribed as "a fresh take on a 1972 classic," the new flag honours the original design created in 1972, while giving it a modern update that reflects how TMU has grown and changed over five decades. Elements are:

The lamp of learning: Proving light in the darkness, the lamp of learning symbolizes intelligence and enlightenment. It represents the flame of inspiration fueling discovery and creation. This symbol embodies the pursuit of knowledge and the realization of human potential.
The square (inverted isosceles triangle) The square represents artifact, construction and building or creation. It is the symbol of the practical and material expression of human ingenuity. It highlights the university's focus on the application of knowledge, skills and experiential learning in the real-world context.
Colours The symbolism of colours: Azure (blue): loyalty and truth (original flag) Gold (yellow): generosity and elevation of mind.
