Operário Ferroviário Esporte Clube’s badge is a black shield with a white outline and a pointed base. Inside, the large white initials “OFEC” sit across a black field, with “Operário Ferroviário” written above and the founding year 1912 placed below.
The initials stand for Operário Ferroviário Esporte Clube, while the name reflects the club’s railway-worker roots in Ponta Grossa, Paraná. The current name was adopted in 1933 after the incorporation of the ferroviários’ social club, linking the team permanently to the railway community.
Operário was founded on 1 May 1912 and is one of Paraná’s oldest active football clubs. The club’s black-and-white identity became central after the 1933 reorganization, when the current name and colours were formally chosen.
The badge has changed several times across the club’s history, including versions with stripes, diagonal bands and even a ghost motif connected to the nickname Fantasma. The modern shield keeps the OFEC initials as the clearest link to the club’s official identity.
