The FC Pyunik logo combines the club's name, Armenian heritage, and symbols associated with its home city of Yerevan. The emblem has a circular structure using the colors of the Armenian national flag, with a white central circle containing a stylized red phoenix. The phoenix is designed in a geometric style inspired by traditional Armenian ornamentation and represents the meaning of the club's name, as Փյունիկ (Pyunik) means "phoenix" in Armenian, symbolizing rebirth, resilience, and eternal rise. A red-and-white football is positioned above the phoenix's head, representing the club's primary sport. Surrounding the central image is a blue ring with yellow and red borders, bearing "PYUNIK" at the top and "YEREVAN" at the bottom. An արևախաչ (arevakhach), the traditional Armenian sign of eternity and long life, appears on one side (left), while a national rosette motif made from traditional decorative elements appears on the other, connecting the emblem with Armenian art and cultural heritage. A stylized crown is attached to the top of the emblem and refers to the coat of arms of Yerevan, while the negative space within the crown incorporates the letter "Y", linking the Latin spellings of Pyunik and Yerevan. Together with the circular frame, the crown forms the silhouette of a stylized pomegranate, an important symbol of Armenian life, culture, and prosperity. A gold star positioned at the top of the emblem represents the club's championship titles. The red, blue, and yellow palette throughout the emblem reflects the colors of the Armenian national flag and reinforces the club's connection to Armenia and its capital city.
