The FC BATE Borisov logo features elements representing the club's name, industrial heritage, and championship success. The circular emblem consists of a yellow circle bordered by yellow and blue, containing the Cyrillic abbreviation "БАТЭ" in large blue letters and a stylized waving flag beneath it formed by horizontal blue, yellow, and blue stripes. The flag is rendered with sharp angular lines and folds that also create the appearance of a horizontal lightning bolt, reflecting the electrical and industrial origins associated with the club. The acronym "БАТЭ" stands for Borisov Automobile and Tractor Electronics (BATE), from the Russian name Борисовский завод автомобильного и тракторного электрооборудования, honoring the industrial electrical-equipment factory in Borisov that originally sponsored and founded the club. The central flag also references the municipal flag of Borisov, while its zigzag, lightning-like edges allude to the electrical and manufacturing character of the city's founding industrial enterprise. Yellow and blue are the club's traditional colors, reflected in the nickname "Жёлто-синие", meaning "Yellow-Blues", and convey a dynamic and energetic visual identity. Three gold stars positioned above the badge represent the club's numerous domestic league championships, with the stars traditionally marking significant milestones in its Belarusian Premier League title history. Together, the Cyrillic abbreviation, stylized flag, lightning-like forms, traditional yellow-and-blue colors, and championship stars connect the emblem with BATE's industrial origins, Borisov's local identity, and its long record of success in Belarusian football.
