The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Badge represents Navy’s history, tradition, values and people, both past and present. The badge is an oval rope surround which contains a stockless, chain cabled admiralty anchor placed atop a federation star and encircled by the words 'Royal Australian Navy'. Placed on top of the rope surround is the Tudor Crown.
The Navy brand mark consists of the word Navy in block capitals in a san serif font, locked horizontally or vertically in line with the RAN Ceremonial Badge.
The typeface of the Navy brand mark is not a standard font, but has been specifically developed for Navy and must not be substituted.
The Navy brand mark may not be redrawn or altered in any way.
The Royal Australian Navy adopted the Australian White Ensign in 1967.
The Australian White Ensign consists of a white flag with the Union Flag in the upper canton at the hoist with 6 blue stars positioned as in the Australian flag.

The St Edward’s or Queen’s crown version of the RAN Badge is still a valid representation of royal authority. It can be used at the same time as the Tudor or King’s crown design during this transition period. This follows the precedent from Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Back then, the changeover to the St Edward’s crown occurred over a ten-year timeframe.
