Silver gray and golden yellow are the colors traditionally used by Finance units. Gold symbolizes excellence, high ideals and achievement. Blue signifies loyalty. Blue and red are adapted from the Philippine flag. The blue wavy base and the Philippine sun represent the climate of the Philippine Islands, the area of campaign participation in the Pacific during World War II. The lozenge is adapted from the Finance Corps' insignia of branch and is red to indicate wartime service. The sea lion, an ancient symbol of strength and courage at sea, recalls the Philippine Presidential Citation. | |||
The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia, was both approved on 6 March 1996. | |||
