The mark consists of a circular design with a blue upper half and a red lower half. The blue portion contains the text "AASCU's American Democracy Project" in white, following the curve of the circle. At the bottom of each side of the blue section, there are bands of varying shades of blue and red. Below this, the letters "ADP" appear prominently in a large, gray, upper case font at the center of the logo. The red lower half of the circle contains a row of five red stars in varying shades at the bottom, along with nine raised hands in black silhouette, with various hand gestures, reaching up towards the text "ADP". Black stars are placed at both the left and right ends of the white band that separates the blue and red sections.
