The initial logo of NDA consisted of a sword, a quill pen, an anchor and an eagle, symbolising the four fields in which the Cadets received education at the National War Academy. The present logo was selected in the year 1948. The background is maroon, the crest is composed of the symbols of the three Services superimposed on each other and mounted on top by the Ashoka Capitol. The anchor supports the sword and both support the eagle.
