ONI logo
The ONI symbol is the primary logo used to identify the organization.
Description
Arrow design
The agency's insignia has many layers of meaning: superficially it is a stylized surveillance satellite, but it also represents a pyramid of knowledge with an all-seeing eye and an arrowhead directed to the heavens.[1] Above the center circle reads "UNSC" and at the bottom, in between the edges of the outer circle reads "Office of Naval Intelligence".
UNSC derived
Another symbol, based on the UNSC's is also occasionally used. Featuring the bird with the globe, the main differences include the globe containing the "all-seeing eye" with triangles and stars surrounding it and the ribbon at the bottom containing the text "Office of Naval Intelligence" in it.
Variants
Arrow design
- Textless - A variant of the logo without any of the text, leaving only the arrow shape and the circles.
- Ivanoff text - A special version of the logo is used for Ivanoff Station, where the text is replaced with
