Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Logo
<ul><li>DFAS established its logo in October 2002. As DFAS and the finance and accounting industries evolve and modernize, a mark representing the corporate values and ideals helps present DFAS as a world-class finance and accounting organization.</li>
<li>The typeface used for the logotype is modern and conveys strength and forward motion.</li>
<li>The negative space in the "D" shaped as a star recalls DFAS' military and defense heritage with a modern twist by rotating the two-dimensional shape on a third axis to add more motion.</li>
<li>The "checkmark" spotlights a number of finance and accounting themes. First, it represents approval and achievement of high standards. Second, it connotes the completion of a significant task. Third, it symbolizes the core functions of DFAS from the checks and balances performed in DFAS accounting function to the millions of checks issued in payment to the men and women who defend the United States and the contractors and vendors who provide material and support for their missions.</li>
<li>The colors are often associated with excellence, authority, credibility and technology.</li></ul>
