The Assassin Insignia of the Assassin Order, though varying slightly over different time periods and countries, holds essentially the same shape and style. Each of its variations also possibly denote the various sects of the Order.

In Assassin's Creed, the insignia is used to mark the entrances of Assassin Bureaus , and is seen on the banners decorating the fortress of Masyaf. Within Assassin's Creed II, it is used on the mechanisms within the many Assassin's tombs, and on the banners and walls of Monteriggioni. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it is displayed on the banners hung in the Tiber Island Assassins Guild.

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.
