Burgan SC's crest is represented as a shield of honor of Kuwait and sports, with the Kuwait map and flag and a football representing all kinds of sports.

The first idea for the logo was the same shield but without an English name on it, but they decided to add this, due to it being a new team.

Their first logo was introduced in 2007 and was replaced in 2014 after being officiated by the KFA to compete in Kuwait football. The 2014 logo has a larger sized body with a lighter color added to it with the 2007 date added to the logo.

On March 19, 2016, the club announced their new logo. They became the first Kuwaiti team to have a circular Logo.
