In 2018 Port Darwin Football Club's committee decided to give PDFC a fresh new look and change the club's logo which would move the club into the 21st century. The committee wanted to have a modern, fresh logo that resonated with Darwin history and decided to depict something from the Bombing of Darwin, so the boat on the new logo is that of HMAS Mavie a 19-ton patrol boat operated by the Royal Australian Navy which was sunk by the Japanese in the Bombing of Darwin, the club's founding year ‘1996’ is also depicted on the new logo[], which overall heavily draws inspiration from the logo of Manchester City F.C.
