With the evolution of the times, R.O.C Army’s emblems have undergone many innovations, and the emblems adopted in the past must be re-planned and designed in response to the challenges of the new generation of the 21st century. This study is based on the survey of the R.O.C Army emblems. Through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, this paper summarizes the preferences and cognitions of active army on the current emblems design, and understands the needs of active army for the design of unit emblems. The main shape is shield with simple lines and generous presentation of modernity ; emblems design elements with unit features and tasks; increased recognition by unit code or number. According to questionnaires and interview results, I research to following units which department level are higher than colonel such as : the two military schools under the jurisdiction of the R.O.C Army, three legion headquarters, four defense headquarters, an aviation SF command, MP command, logistics headquarters, army education, training and doctrine development command etc. all emblems are total 60. In the color matching, the division of the unit level and the selection of the special fabric for embroidery and the color of the embroidery thread must be considered. Therefore, after multiple corrections, a total of 42 different colors are used. Each level unit uses the matching method of similar color and contrast color; in the image design of the emblems, combined with the historical background, unit representative characteristics or equipment and weapons , using pictograms to highlight the unit features and simplify the shape. Above mentioned are as the emblems design for this study. From the questionnaire survey, interviews and analysis of the research results, this study found that to update the emblems of R.O.C Army is a huge project. I hope that the research process and results can be used to R.O.C Army as reference for the actual updated emblems design. The emblems design of the troops can keep pace with the times and conform to the spirit of the new R.O.C Army in the 21st century.
