The Faculty uses a circular seal with depiction of the Arch of the Sergii, an ancient Roman triumphal arch erected in Pula ca. 28 BC. Along the edges the Faculty name is inscribed and around it the University name and the year of establishment of the School of Economy. The seal in inscribed in Croatian or in Latin, and, possibly, an Italian version exists as well. Bordeaux red colour seems to be preferred, although, of course, other colours are regularly used as well.
