Something belongs to the University. Is it the Universities' logo or the University's logo? I somehow don't think University's exists.

  • The fact that the plural form of a word has a different ending from the singular form is completely separate from the issue of adding 's for the possessive. You always add 's for the singular possessive, irrespective of how you form the plural of the word.

If the logo belongs to one university, it is the university's logo. If the logo is jointly owned by several universities, it is the universities' logo.
