The insignia of the Assassin Order, though varying slightly over different time periods and countries, holds essentially the same shape and style. In Assassin's Creed, the insignia is used to mark the entrances of city Bureaus, 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, and on the banners and walls of Monteriggioni. Additionally, it is worn openly on the clothes 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 Freemasons.
  • An interesting note is that the original insignia is not vertically symmetrical, however the Italian and Russian variations are symmetrical.
