Symbolism Oriental blue and silver gray are the colors associated with the Military Intelligence Branch. The checky background alludes to a chess board and symbolizes the use of intelligence information in formulating military strategy and countermeasure. The griffin, noted for keen eyesight, symbolizes vigilance and penetration of the unknown as suggested by the black area.
