The Block U is a large concrete hillside letter on Mount Van Cott in Salt Lake City, Utah. The stylized "U" is a logo of the University of Utah and is located just north of the university’s campus. It is one of the earliest hillside letters. It sits at 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) above sea level. Lights outlining the Block U flash when the Utah Utes athletic teams win and burn steady when they are defeated.
The official name is the “Block U” and is a registered trademark of the University of Utah.[1]
