FC Persepolis’ badge is a red shield with a black-and-white outline, a gold star above it, two white Homa-style figures facing a central trophy, Persian lettering, the English text “FC Persepolis,” and the line “Since 1967” at the bottom.

The crest is tied to the ancient city of Persepolis, the Achaemenid ceremonial capital that gives the club its name. Persepolis’ badge history has used ancient Persian-inspired symbols, including forms connected to Persepolis reliefs and later the Homa, a mythological bird used in Persian art and architecture.

The trophy in the centre points to championship success, while the paired figures create a symmetrical ancient-Persian visual style. The red colour is central to the club’s identity and nickname, “Sorkhpoushan,” meaning “the Reds” or “red-clad.”

Persepolis was established in Tehran in the 1960s and grew rapidly after players from Shahin joined the club, helping transfer a major supporter base to Persepolis. The current crest keeps that heritage visible through the red shield, Persian script, ancient-symbolic imagery and the “Since 1967” date used on the badge.
