The "imagetype" of UGB consists in letter "U" inscribed with "GERARDO BARRIOS"
in Time New Roman and surrounding the bust of Captain General Gerardo Barrios,
an historical character representative of the eastern zone and of the Republican
period of El Salvador; he was a distinguished soldier, statesman and businessman.
His name was given to the university as a tribute to his legacy.

Gerardo Barrios (1813-1865) led in 1856 the Salvadorian troops sent to Nicaragua
to repel the invasion by the American freeboter William Walker (1824-1860). On
10 January 1859, President Miguel Santín del Castillo (1830-1880) appointed
Francisco Dueñas (1810-1884) as Minister of the Government, which caused the
wrath of several officers. The next day, Barrios, Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces, raised a rebellion that expelled Dueñas from the country. Sacked
on 19 January by Santín, Barrios raised the army and overthrown the president.
While the presidency was subsequently exercised by the former Vice President,
Joaquín Eufrasio Guzmán (1801-1875), the government was indeed ruled by Barrios.
The presidential mandate was extended from two to six years. On 12 March 1859,
Barrios proclaimed himself President of the Republic; appointed Senator on 21
January 1860 by the Legislative ssembly, he was proclaimed seven days later
President for the period 1860-1865 by the Chamber of Representatives and
Senators.
President Barrios initiated liberal reforms, reorganized the public finances,
supported agriculture and industry, created a professional army, and promoted
secular education. He maintained pacific coexistence with Guatemala, visiting
the country in 1860.
Conflicts with the church soon broke out; Bishop Tomás Pineda y Saldaña
(1791-1875) ordered the priests to reject the Constitution, claiming that the
sole authorities were God, the bishop and the pope. The conservatives presented
Barrios as anticlerical, despotic and liberal; most of them, the bishop included,
exiled to Guatemala, where they initiated a campaign against the Salvadorian
government. This resulted in a deterioration of the relationships between the
two countries.
War broke out in February 1863; on 19 June, the Guatemala troops, led by
President Rafael Carrera (1814-1865), invaded El Salvador. On 26 October, San
Salvador was seized and Barrios fled to San Miguel. Francisco Dueñas took the
power, establishing a conservative government led by Santiago González
(1818-1887). Elected president in 1865, Dueñas obtained the extradition of
Barrios from Nicaragua. Barrios was sentenced to death on 10 August by a war
council and executed the next day.
The conservative reaction lasted much shorter than expected. Carrera's
conservative successor, Vicente Cerna (1815-1885), was expelled by Justo Rufino
Barrios (1835-1885) in 1871. The same year, González defeated Dueñas; the
liberal Rafael Zaldívar (1834-1903) subsequently fostered the reforms initiated
by Barrios.

university's former emblem, therefore very similar to the flag of Sonsonate.
