Mainz 05’s badge is a compact red circular crest in which a stylised “M” and the digits “05” are drawn as one continuous monogram, with the club’s full name sitting in a band at the base. The sweeping letterform stands for Mainz, while “05” marks the founding year 1905, turning the crest into a graphic shorthand for the club’s name and origins.

The red-and-white palette is taken from the city of Mainz’s historic coat of arms, so the logo doubles as a nod to local civic colours.  Variants of this circular monogram have been used since the mid-20th century, with the current, cleaner version – often shown without the outer text ring – refining the same basic idea into one of the Bundesliga’s most recognisable minimalist marks.
