FC Cincinnati’s badge is a shield with a dark navy outline, a white inner frame, and a diagonal layout split between blue and orange. “FC” appears in white on the blue upper section, while “CINCINNATI” runs diagonally across the middle in dark navy lettering. The lower orange section features a white winged lion wearing a crown and holding a sword.

The winged lion is the badge’s main visual element, giving the crest a distinctive heraldic character. Its crown, raised sword, wings, and curled tail create a formal emblem inside the orange field, while the diagonal wordmark makes the city name the strongest piece of typography.

The orange-and-blue color scheme is central to FC Cincinnati’s identity and is visible across the full crest. The shield shape and diagonal division give the badge a structured, modern football look, with the club initials, city name, and lion all arranged as separate but connected parts of the same mark.

FC Cincinnati was founded in 2015, first competed in the USL from 2016 to 2018, and entered Major League Soccer in 2019. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the club’s badge connects its MLS-era identity to the city name, the “FC” initials, and the orange-and-blue visual system used throughout the club.
