The FK Željezničar Sarajevo logo is a circular emblem with a blue shield at its center, featuring an asymmetrical pointed upper edge. The upper section of the shield displays the white word "ŽELJEZNIČAR", while a blue-and-white football is positioned beneath it. Below the football is a stylized winged railway wheel, directly reflecting the club's name and historical connection with the railway industry, while the word "SARAJEVO" appears beneath the wheel. The shield is surrounded by a blue circular ring, with the Bosnian phrase "FUDBALSKI KLUB" in white across the upper section and the English translation "FOOTBALL CLUB" below it. The Bosnian and English inscriptions are separated on either side by the numbers "19" and "21", which together represent the club's founding year, 1921. The name Željezničar translates to "railwayman" in Serbo-Croatian and is a direct reference to the railway workers who founded the club, making the winged wheel an especially important element of the emblem. The traditional blue and white colors form a central part of the club's identity and are reflected in its nickname Plavi ("The Blues"), while also conveying associations with reliability, clarity, and sporting tradition. The combination of the shield, football, winged railway wheel, Sarajevo name, founding year, and bilingual inscriptions creates an emblem that strongly connects Željezničar with its railway origins, Sarajevo identity, and long-standing football heritage.
