The TP Mazembe emblem features a stylized crocodile biting a soccer ball in its jaws at the center of a black badge with a white border. The word "ENGLEBERT" appears above the crocodile, with the founding year "1939" displayed beneath it. Below the crocodile are the team name "TOUT PUISSANT MAZEMBE" and black-and-white vertical stripes in the club's traditional colors. A white ribbon crossing the lower section of the emblem bears the French inscription "LUBUMBASHI, RÉPUBLIQUE DÉMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO", identifying the club's city and country. Five gold stars above the emblem and three silver stars below it represent the club's championship achievements. The crocodile symbolizes strength, resilience, and power, qualities reflected in the club's name, Tout Puissant Mazembe, meaning "All-Powerful Mazembe", while also referencing the local heritage of Lubumbashi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The soccer ball held firmly in the crocodile's jaws represents dominance, control, and passion for football. "Englebert" is a historical reference to the club's former name, adopted when the team was sponsored by the tire brand Englebert. The black-and-white colors and stripes are closely associated with the club's famous nickname, "The Ravens", which became established during its successful years and remains deeply rooted in the team's visual identity and traditional jerseys. Together, the crocodile, soccer ball, historical name, founding year, championship stars, and black-and-white design express TP Mazembe's powerful identity, sporting success, historical development, and connection with Lubumbashi.
