The mark consists of a gold and black outlined shield divided into quadrants, the upper-left and lower-right quadrants in red and the upper-right and -lower left quadrants in cream, in the center of which appears a gray, white and black heraldic lion with blue claws and a blue tongue. Above the shield appears a gray, white, and black colored suit of armor helmet, atop which sits a blue, white, and red pedestal upon which appears a gold crescent moon and gold star overlapping a gold triangle. A black, gold, and red ornamental framework extends out from behind the helmet and down either side of the shield. Below the shield is a gold banner, outlined in black, upon which appears the wording "GRYFFINDOR" in black stylized font. The remaining white in the mark represents background or transparent matter and is not claimed as a feature of the mark.
