The Al-Zawraa SC logo is a circular emblem featuring a white central circle with a stylized blue side-profile silhouette of a winged horse in flight. Inspired by the heritage of ancient Iraqi civilizations, including Assyrian civilization, the winged horse symbolizes strength, courage, originality, speed, and energy. Surrounding the central image is an inner ring divided into a yellow upper half and a white lower half. The upper yellow section displays the club's name in black Arabic lettering, نادي الزوراء الرياضي. The lower white section contains five interlocking Olympic rings, with the founding year displayed in blue on either side as "1969" and in Arabic-Indic numerals as ١٩٦٩. These Olympic rings represent the club's multisport tradition, reflecting its involvement in different sporting activities beyond football and symbolizing sportsmanship, solidarity, cooperation, and brotherhood in sport. Surrounding the inner ring, the outer ring features the Iraqi national flag arching across its upper section. The flag's white stripe bears the Arabic words أكبر الله, meaning "Allah (God) is the Greatest", expressing Iraq's Islamic identity and the importance of spiritual values. The lower half of the outer ring is blue and carries the club's English name, "AL ZAWRA'A SPORT CLUB", with the country's name "IRAQ" in English on one side and العراق in Arabic on the other. The Iraqi flag reflects the club's national allegiance and its role in representing the Republic of Iraq in domestic and international sporting competitions. Together, the winged horse, Olympic rings, founding year, Arabic and English inscriptions, and Iraqi flag create a distinctive emblem that brings together the club's sporting ambitions, historical heritage, national pride, and cultural identity.
