The Dundalk FC logo is based on a red shield with a thick black border and pointed lower edge, featuring three stylized white martlets at its center. A martlet is a traditional heraldic bird, usually depicted without feet, and in English heraldry it represents a swallow. The three birds are adapted from the historic coat of arms of the town of Dundalk, which has represented the area since 1673, connecting the club's emblem with its local heritage. A black ribbon crosses the lower section of the shield and bears the team name "DUNDALK FC" in white lettering. Above the shield is a gold star representing the club's championship achievements; it was added in 2015 to commemorate Dundalk's tenth League of Ireland title. The red shield, black border, white martlets, and gold championship star create a distinctive emblem that combines the club's traditional identity with the heraldic heritage of Dundalk and its long history of success in Irish football.
