About United States Marine Corps

A circular, heraldic seal on a black outer ring edged by a twisted yellow rope. Inside the black ring is a red circular medallion. Centered on the red field is a detailed gold eagle perched atop a gold globe with white and blue latitude/longitude lines; a gold fouled anchor sits behind and to the side of the globe. A small white ribbon is shown near the eagle (traditionally bearing the Corps' motto).

The black outer ring contains a bold white uppercase wordmark reading UNITED STATES (top) and MARINE CORPS (bottom), separated by small white bullets at left and right. The overall look is formal, traditional, and emblematic of a military organization.
