The shield-shaped APOEL FC logo features blue and yellow fields divided diagonally by a white banner bearing the Greek acronym ΑΠΟΕΛ, which stands for Αθλητικός Ποδοσφαιρικός Όμιλος Ελλήνων Λευκωσίας (Athletic Football Club of Greeks of Nicosia). The blue color reflects the Greek heritage of the club's founders and is associated with loyalty and the Mediterranean identity of Cyprus, while yellow or gold symbolizes Byzantine heritage, prestige, and championship excellence. The two gold stars positioned above the shield were added after APOEL won its 20th Cypriot championship, with each star representing ten league titles. Together, the shield, diagonal white banner, Greek lettering, traditional blue-and-yellow colors, and championship stars represent APOEL's Greek Cypriot roots, sporting identity, historical achievements, and enduring connection with the city of Nicosia.
