Crest
Original crest: Mid-1980s - 2008.
Centenary crest: 2009.
Current crest: 2010-present day.
The original club crest was designed by Dermot Carney, brother of Martin, in mid-1980s. The crest called on the various topographical elements around the town and surrounding areas. The clock tower is a prominent land mark in Ballyshannon. It was built in 1878 near by the Belfast Banking Company near the house of the speaker of the Irish House of Commons, William Conolly, one of the most wealthy and powerful figures in ascendency Ireland in his time. The waves represent the river Erne which flows through the town before spilling into the Atlantic. The club name and year of the club's foundation, 1909 is prominent at the top, with the Béal Atha Seanaigh, the Irish for Ballyshannon incorporated at the bottom.
John Hughes updated the crest with a more contemporary look for the club's centenary celebrations. It drew strongly the elements used in Dermot Carney's crest to emphasise continuity. Once again the year of the club's foundation, 1909 is prominent, while the club centenary is explicitly acknowledged with the addition of 'Céad Bliain' to the foot of the crest.
After the club's centenary celebrations it was decided to retain the refurbished club crest minus the 'Céad Bliain' section as the club's official crest.
