The Persepolis FC logo features key symbols from ancient Persian history that represent the heritage, strength, and achievements of the club. The emblem is based on a red shield with black protruding edges at the top and bottom. At the center of the shield is a depiction of the Homa bird, with a championship trophy positioned above the bird's body. Three small interlocking rings are incorporated into the bird's body, representing Persepolis as a major multi-sport institution rather than only a football club. The two-headed Homa bird, attached to a single body, is based on a famous stone column at the ancient historical site of Persepolis, the former capital of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, and in Persian culture symbolizes good fortune and greatness. Beneath the bird is the team's name in large stylized Persian script, "پرسپولیس" (Persepolis), followed by "FC PERSEPOLIS" in white Latin letters and the inscription "Since 1967". The trophy above the bird represents the club's championships, victories, and sporting achievements, while the red shield reflects the club's signature color and its nickname, سرخپوشان (Sorkhpoushan), meaning "The Reds." A gold star above the shield represents the club's championship titles, completing an emblem that combines ancient Persian heritage with Persepolis's sporting identity and history.
