The club badge consists of a central shield surrounded by an elaborate bronze border. The shield contains the image of a burning castle and has above has a red dragon rampant. The words 'Tir Iarll' lay below the shield on a scroll. The dragon represents Wales and the burning castle is thought to show the historical rejection of Norman rule by local Welsh people.
