Origin/meaning
Orange and white are colors traditionally associated with the Signal Corps. The six embattlements of the chief refer to the six World War II campaigns in which the former battalion participated. The star and the fleur-de-lis represent that unit’s two decorations – the Meritorious Unit Commendation and the Croix de Guerre. The chevron denotes support and the bugle horn the martial spirit and mission of the unit.
The arms and the Distinctive Unit Insignia was originally approved for the 147th Signal Battalion on 5 Jun 1964. They was redesignated for the for the 134th Signal Battalion on 15 May 1991.
