The PFC CSKA Sofia logo is based on a circular crest with a white field. At its center is a large red five-pointed star, a symbol of glory and power, while six gold oak leaves surround the star along its upper and side sections, symbolizing strength, endurance, and tradition. Beneath the star is a red horizontal band bearing the Bulgarian abbreviation "ЦСКА" between two Bulgarian flags. The Cyrillic letters stand for „Централен Спортен Клуб на Армията“ (Central Sports Club of the Army), reflecting the club's historical connection with the Bulgarian People's Army. The founding year "1948" appears beneath the red band. Three gold stars positioned above the crest represent the club's championship titles. Red is the club's defining color, associated with its identity as "The Reds" and its historical origins as the army team, while also carrying traditional associations with love, freedom, and aggression. The circular form of the crest symbolizes infinity and eternity, completing an emblem that combines the club's military heritage, sporting success, traditional colors, and enduring identity.
