The FK Žalgiris logo is based on a shield-shaped design in dark green and white. The upper green band of the shield bears the team name "ŽALGIRIS", while the lower section is decorated with dark-green-and-white vertical stripes, with a soccer ball and the founding year "1947" prominently displayed. A green ribbon bearing the city name "VILNIUS" extends across the bottom of the shield. The top of the shield is stylized like the battlements of a green castle tower and features a white depiction of a howling wolf. The word "Žalgiris" literally translates to "green grove" or "green forest" in Lithuanian and commemorates the historic 1410 Battle of Žalgiris, also known as the Battle of Grunwald, in which the forces of Lithuania and Poland achieved a major victory. The name and emblem therefore evoke Lithuanian struggle, unity, determination, and triumph, while the club's traditional green-and-white identity reflects the imagery associated with the "green grove" and the battle's namesake. Green is associated with nature and the green forest, while white represents honesty and cleanliness. Together, the shield, castle battlements, howling wolf, soccer ball, founding year, and Vilnius inscription connect FK Žalgiris with Lithuanian history, the heritage of its namesake battle, and its enduring identity as a club from the nation's capital.
