- The white and blue rounded medallion, enclosed in yellow triangular rays, looked like a royal medal and had a massive yellow and black crown with five four-pointed stars on top.
- Around the blue perimeter of the badge there was a white bold “Blood and Fire” let-tering, and in the middle, on a white background, a red letter “S”, standing for “Sal-vation”, intertwined with the Red Cross and two swords.
- The main wordmark was written in white on a red ribbon, which was arched under the rounded badge.
- 1901 – Today In 1901 another emblem was created and is still used by the organization as its main insignia.
