Overprinted on the image is a map of Canada surrounded by a circle which is bordered in three sections: light blue, dark blue and green, representing the joint task force. Below the circle is the word Canada, with a Canadian flag over the final letter "a". To the left of the circle a logo which begins with a Canadian flag and the words National Defence / Défence nationale. Below the logo are the large capital letters JTFN, followed by the words Joint Task Force (North) Headquarters. To the right of the circle is the same information in French: FOIN Quartier Général dela Force opérationnelle interarmées (Nord). JFTN replaced the Canadian Forces Northern Area in 2006.
