Clube Desportivo Primeiro de Agosto, also known as Primeiro de Agosto or simply 1º de Agosto, is an Angolan multi-sport club based in Luanda, Angola, best known for its professional football team. The club competes in Girabola, the highest level of the Angolan football league system, and is one of the country's most successful and popular teams.

The C.D. Primeiro de Agosto logo features a shield-shaped crest that embodies the sporting identity, military origins, and national heritage of the prominent Angolan multi-sport club based in Luanda. The shield has a thick dark-blue border and is covered with vertical crimson-red and black stripes, reflecting the club's historic primary colors and its traditional nickname Os Rubro e Negros, meaning "The Red and Blacks". A large, prominent five-pointed yellow star is positioned at the center of the shield, symbolizing excellence, achievement, and glory. Along the upper edge of the shield is the club's full name, "CLUBE DESPORTIVO 1º DE AGOSTO". The traditional heraldic shield shape conveys institutional continuity, defense, local pride, and the club's prominent standing in Angolan and African football. The club's military heritage is closely connected to its name, which means "First of August" and commemorates its founding on August 1, 1977, by the People's Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA). This origin is also reflected in the club's long-standing nickname Os Militares, meaning "The Military", and in its historical role in post-independence national sports development. The combination of the dark-blue border, red-and-black stripes, central golden star, and military-associated identity gives the emblem a distinctive appearance that connects Primeiro de Agosto's sporting achievements with its institutional origins and Angolan heritage.
