The Marine Corps Seal was designed by the Marine Corps Uniform Board in accordance with instructions of the Commandant of the Marine Corps – General Lemuel G. Shepherd, Jr. The Seal was adopted by Presidential Executive Order No 10538 of June, 22, 1954.
The traditional Marine Corps emblem – eagle, globe and foul anchor – forms the basic device of the Seal. Of these three, the eagle and the foul anchor are the most aged, dating from 1800 when they first appeared on the Marine uniform button – a button which has remained practically unchanged from its original form. Influenced strongly by the design of the emblem of the British Royal Marines depicting as their domain the Eastern hemisphere, the US Marines adopted in 1868 as their emblem the Western hemisphere of the globe. To this was added the spread eagle and foul anchor from the button. Twelve years later the design of the emblem was completed with the motto “Semper Fidelis” (which is translated from Latin as “Always faithful”).
The scarlet and gold surrounding the emblem are the official colors of the USMC. These in turn are enclosed by Navy blue and gold signifying the Marine Corps as an integral part of the naval team.
