Krishna University has adopted the emblem etched here, which symbolizes the university in spirit and sanctimonium. The name "Krishna" is derived from its etymology signifying the "blackness" from out of which the perfect manifestation of the Universe and Divinity can be visualized. The energy of light can be absorbed into "Krishna", which embodies cosmic consciousness. The name of river Krishna, the lifeline of the Krishna basin and its lower deltaic regions of the Krishna District, is evident etymologically in "Krishna", and the entire district forms the territorial jurisdiction of Krishna University. The lighthouse in the emblem symbolizes the pathfinder and the beam of light emerging from it personifies the vital energy manifesting in different forms of life.It also recalls the geographical location of the varsity, viz. Machilipatnam, a historic and an ancient port city, which existed since 3rd century BC.
