The team colours of the St. George Illawarra Dragons are red and white, colours shared by both the St. George Dragons and Illawarra Steelers. The merged entity's logo was taken directly from that of St George, with the addition of "Illawarra" to the bottom of the emblem.

The club name Dragons, is a shortened version of "Dragonslayers", the original nickname of St George.

It was originally intended for St George to face right and the Dragon to face left. It is one of the most recognisable logos in Australian sport.
