The CD Marathón logo is centered around a stylized green double-headed eagle, symbolizing majesty, strength, vigilance, and soaring ambition. On the eagle's chest is a white heraldic shield outlined in green, containing a black-and-white football at its center. The shield represents defense, honor, institutional strength, and protection of the club's legacy, while the football represents the fundamental essence, passion, and practice of association football at the heart of the institution. Five white stars are positioned along the upper section of the green border surrounding the shield, representing the club's hard-won national championship titles. The side sections of the green border carry the mottos "POR LA PATRIA" and "POR LA RAZA" in vertical lettering, expressing themes of patriotism and identity associated with the club. Above the eagle, curved red-and-green ribbon-like bands carry the team name "CLUB DEPORTIVO MARATHÓN" in large lettering. Beneath the eagle, the inscription "SAN PEDRO SULA, HONDURAS, C.A." appears in small curved red lettering, identifying the club's home city and country. At the bottom of the emblem are two stylized green leafy branches with red flowers, resembling laurel branches and symbolizing triumph, glory, and achievement. The combination of the double-headed eagle, heraldic shield, football, championship stars, patriotic mottos, club name, San Pedro Sula inscription, and laurel-like branches creates an emblem that reflects CD Marathón's sporting identity, local roots, competitive achievements, and long-standing place in Honduran football.
