The mark consists of a circular design with a scroll atop and beneath the circular field. The top scroll is white, bordered in black and blue, and the scroll reads "VMFAT-501". The wording is in black. The bottom scroll, also in white and bordered in black and blue, contains the wording "VINI-VICI" in black.

The color black appearing behind the foregoing wording and design elements represents background and is not part of the mark.
