{{Stub}}
The '''insignia''' of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], though varying slightly over different time periods and countries, holds essentially the same shape and style. It is also possible that the design varies with each sect of the Assassin Order.

In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', the insignia is used to mark the entrances of city [[Bureau]]s, and is seen on the many banners decorating the fortress of [[Masyaf]]. Within ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', it is used on the mechanisms within the many [[Assassin's Tombs|Assassin's tombs]], and on the banners and walls of [[Monteriggioni]]. Additionally, it is worn openly on the armor and clothing of certain known Assassins, such as [[Mario Auditore]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] and [[Nikolai Orelov]].

==Trivia==
*Despite representing the Assassin Order, the insignia is never used as personal decoration for any character in the original ''Assassin's Creed'' or its spin-offs.
*In the [[Sanctuary]], all of the statues have different Assassin insignias (differing from their unique [[Assassin's Seals]]) on their waists, which are deviations of the original one. For example, [[Amunet]]'s symbol has two snakes on it.
*The insignia bears resemblance to the symbol of the [[wikipedia:Freemasons|Freemasons]].
*An interesting note is that the original insignia is not vertically symmetrical, however the Italian and Russian variations are symmetrical.
*The original insignia is most likely influenced by the Greek letter "Delta". "Delta" is asymmetrical and denotes change in mathematics. This fits well into the Assassin's goal.
