The Arsenal Fútbol Club logo consists of a sky-blue shield divided diagonally by a red stripe. A football is positioned in the upper left section of the shield, while a chess rook appears in the lower right section. The name "ARSENAL F.C." is displayed on a horizontal banner across the top of the emblem. The red diagonal stripe is derived from the club's home jersey design and is often regarded as a tribute to River Plate.

The chess rook symbolizes strategy, planning, and strength, while the football represents the sport at the center of the club's identity. The club was named after the famous English club Arsenal, as both teams originated in areas associated with military arsenals. Overall, the emblem reflects Arsenal de Sarandí's identity, heritage, and football tradition, combining symbolic elements that emphasize both strategic thinking and sporting ambition.
