The mark consists of a charcoal-bordered circle that is white inside containing a smaller circle made of red broken lines. At the top and lower corners are a total of three curved white trapezoids outlined in red on three sides with a raised charcoal area on the fourth side. Inside each trapezoid, on the side facing the circle, sits a red triangle. Inside the red dashed circle is the stylized wording "IDS" with the letters superimposed over each other. The letter "I" is in white with a red outline and forms the stem of the letter "D". The loop of the "D" is in red, and the letter "S" is in charcoal. Under the design is the wording "IDS APEX TRAINING SYSTEM" in stylized form with "IDS APEX" in red and "TRAINING SYSTEM" in charcoal. The white background represents transparent area and is not part of the mark.
