The Derry City FC logo is based on a shield featuring elements that represent the club's heritage, identity, and connection to the city of Derry. The center of the shield bears the team name "DERRY CITY FOOTBALL CLUB". The upper section features a red depiction of the historic Derry Walls accompanied by a pair of oak leaves, while the lower section is covered with vertical red-and-white stripes. The Derry Walls represent the historic fortifications of the city, while the black oak leaves honor the Irish name for Derry, Doire, meaning "oak grove". The red-and-white stripes reflect the club's famous "Candystripes" identity and its traditional home kit. A classic black-and-white football is positioned prominently in the lower section, symbolizing the club's core identity as a football team, with the founding year "1928" displayed beneath it. Together, the city walls, oak leaves, striped design, football, and founding year connect the emblem with Derry's history, local identity, and the club's long-standing football heritage.
