The Air Force Badge features a circle with the words ‘Royal Australian Air Force', the Imperial Crown, and a Wedge-Tailed Eagle in flight.

Beneath the circle is a scroll with the Latin motto: 'Per Ardua Ad Astra'. In 2002 Chief of Air Force determined to use: 'Through Struggle to the Stars' as the English motto.

A roundel is a circular disc used as a symbol. In order to identify aircraft, the Royal Australian Air Force initially adopted the Royal Air Force's red, white and blue roundel.

The kangaroo within the Air Force Roundel always faces to the left except when used on aircraft or vehicles, when the kangaroo should always face the front of the aircraft or vehicle.

The Air Force logo is a combination of the Air Force Roundel as the 'O', within the customised logo and the text of Air Force in Air Force blue colour.

It is used on a variety of general promotional material, publications and displays.

An ensign is a military or naval flag indicating nationality.

The Royal Australian Air Force Ensign is the Battle Ensign of the Air Force, meaning it must be treated with dignity and respect worthy of Air Force's proud history.
