The logo is made from two symbols: four crosshatch marks, with a sacred three-legged black bird in the center. The crosshatch marks represent the sun shining above Chun-Ji, a crater lake on Mt. Paek-Tu. As a symbol, it illustrates the vitality of the Korean culture and it's people's strong grip on life.

The black bird personifies the divine direction of righteousness. Placed together, the two ancient symbols form an emblem of endurance and virtue. The four crosshatch marks (consisting of four swords) symbolize Chun-Ji, the highest lake in the world. Through Korean history, Chun-Ji has always been regarded as a holy place. During the period of the three kingdoms, King Kwang-Gae-To had used the four crosshatch marks as a symbol of the royal capital.

We can assume the influence of Korean culture from the discovery of numerous potteries marked with the four crosshatch marks from Manchuria to Japan. The mythical three-legged black bird has been considered a sacred being since the Kokuryo dynasty and it symbolizes the Sun god and god¡¯s wishes. This bird symbol is positioned heading to the right, while expanding both wings to soar into flight. It presents the will of god that commands people to also spread their wings to soar to the right (correct) mind and to follow the path of righteousness. The ultimate purpose of Kumdo, "the way of the sword" is to recognize "the way" through the harmony of ki-kum-chae.

We, as members of the U.S. Hwarangkwan, work to train the mind and body to preserve and develop the spirit of Hwarang of Shilla, the spirit of Soosa of Bakje, and the spirit of Joyi-Seonin of Koguryo. This duty is encompassed in the emblem of U.S. Hwarangkwan.
