The Phoenix and Globe consists of a stylised phoenix with its wings spread and its beak pointing to its right. It rests atop a stylised globe, representing Earth, which is striped by a number of horizontal latitude lines, cut by a single longitude line cutting diagonally across the globe. The right of the globe is white, as if the sun is shining on it, and covering the botton half of the globe is a scroll bearing the letters UNSC, DOD, or UNSCDF.
