 The shield incorporates several elements used in the design of the Presidential Badge of the Society presented in 1951 by the Worshipful Company of Dyers of the City of London. The shield is divided into three areas of heraldic colour, with purpure and or in the upper areas and azure in the lower. These approximate to the subtractive primary colours.
-In the lower area is a silver hexagonal benzene ring, symbolising the chemical and technical achiewments of the industry, placed between two slips of the grain-tree. In the upper areas are placed emblems representing the madder and indigo plants respectively.

 The dexter supporter is the goddess Iris, who, as a messenger of the gods, had the rainbow as one of her symbols. She was, in fact, accepted as the goddess of the rainbow, which, in this case, is symbolic of colour in general. As a messenger of the gods she carries in her right hand a caduceus or herald's staff. The sinister supporter is a dyer in seventeenth-century attire holding a skein of silk.
