The logo of The New Saints FC represents the unique cross-border heritage and combined history of the two towns united by the club: Llansantffraid in Wales and Oswestry in England. The club's green-bordered shield is divided into three sections. The upper white section features the team name "The New Saints" in green lettering alongside a green-and-white football. The lower-left green section displays a red Welsh dragon with the name "LLANSANTFFRAID" above it, representing Llansantffraid and the club's Welsh roots. The Welsh dragon echoes one of the most recognizable national symbols of Wales and provides a direct visual connection to the town's Welsh heritage. The lower-right sky-blue section features a yellow lion with the name "OSWESTRY" above it, representing the English town of Oswestry and the club's cross-border identity. The lion is also associated with Oswestry's historical connection to Saint Oswald, after whom the town is traditionally understood to have been named. Together, the Welsh dragon and English lion emphasize the distinctive cross-border character of The New Saints, bringing together the Welsh and English communities represented by the club. The three-part shield combines these elements with the football and team name to create an emblem that reflects the club's shared history, while the green, white, red, sky-blue, and yellow colors clearly distinguish the Welsh and English sections of the design.
