About Arsenal
A heraldic shield-shaped crest with a bright red field divided subtly down the middle. Across the centre is a stylised gold cannon pointing right; the cannon includes a circular spoked wheel. Above the cannon, centered near the top of the shield, is the white wordmark "Arsenal" with a thin gold outline/shadow.
The shield has a gold outer border with a narrow blue inner border and a thin white trim separating the blue from the red field. The design is bold and graphic, using flat blocks of colour and simplified, emblematic shapes rather than photographic detail.
