Insignia
The official badge of the RCAC is a mailed fist within arrowhead arcs, depicting the twin virtues of armour and mobility. The badge was originally designed with a King's Crown, which changed to a Queen's Crown in 1953 upon the ascension of HM Queen Elizabeth II to the throne. The legend on the badge has also changed. The RCAC was officially redesignated the Armour Branch after Unification in 1968 though the term Royal Canadian Armoured Corps seems to have remained in use.
