The FC Motagua logo features a prominent blue eagle clutching a soccer ball, set inside a dark blue circular badge. Around the badge, the team name "MOTAGUA" is written in white across the upper section, while the country name "HONDURAS" appears in white across the lower section. The eagle, or Águila in Spanish, symbolizes power and agility and also maintains a connection with Águila, one of the founding predecessor clubs of Motagua. CD Águila was one of three original local teams that merged to form the club in 1928. The soccer ball represents the club's principal sport and competitive character. The dark blue color honors the Motagua River, the geographical landmark from which the club takes its name, and reflects the river's blue waters. The color also carries historical significance because, at the time the club was founded, the Motagua River was the subject of a territorial dispute between Honduras and Guatemala. Together, the eagle, soccer ball, dark blue colors, club name, and national designation represent FC Motagua's origins, regional identity, historical background, and enduring connection with Honduran football.
