The Horoya AC logo is based on a red shield outlined in white. The left side of the shield features a stylized white bird in flight, depicted with sweeping lines and occupying much of the emblem. Although sometimes described as a pigeon, the bird's design evokes a dove, a universal symbol of peace and freedom that reflects the meaning of the club's name. "Horoya" means "freedom" or "independence" and is associated with Arabic as well as local Guinean languages, including Soussou and Malinké. The bird also conveys purity, hope for a better future for Guinean youth and sport, and ambition, with its upward flight suggesting the club's determination to reach the highest levels of African football. In the upper-right corner of the shield, a red-and-white football is surrounded by radiating lines, emphasizing the club's sporting identity and dynamic approach to the game. A red ribbon crosses the lower part of the shield and bears the name "HOROYA ATHLETIC CLUB" in white lettering. The club's traditional colors, red and white, carry historical and symbolic significance: red commemorates the blood of those who died in Guinea's struggle for independence, while white represents purity and hope for a better future. Together, the shield, flying dove, radiant football, club-name ribbon, and meaningful colors express Horoya AC's commitment to football, freedom, peace, national pride, and sporting ambition.
