The Drogheda United FC logo is based on a sky-blue shield with a claret border. At the center of the shield is a claret upward-facing crescent topped by a five-pointed star, forming the crest's most distinctive visual element. A white ribbon crosses the lower section of the shield and bears the team name "DROGHEDA UNITED FC" in dark lettering. The star-and-crescent design is derived from the coat of arms of the town of Drogheda and refers to the Ottoman state's humanitarian assistance to Ireland during the Great Famine. According to the historical tradition associated with the crest, the Ottoman Sultan sent food aid and money to Ireland during the famine, and the symbols were adopted to commemorate this connection. The sky-blue and claret colors form the club's traditional visual identity and are reflected in its distinctive home colors. Together, the shield, star and crescent, town heritage, and ribbon bearing the club name connect Drogheda United's emblem with the history of Drogheda and its distinctive historical relationship with the Ottoman aid sent to Ireland during the famine.
