[[File:SubudSymbol.svg|thumb|right|"Seven Circles" symbol of Subud]]{{Sources|date=March 2025}}
The Subud symbol was envisioned by Pak Subuh in 1959. It consists of seven concentric circles and seven spokes, which, in traditional Javanese mysticism, represent seven life forces as well as the Great Life Force that connects them. Each circle grows wider, the further out from the center, and each spoke narrows as it approaches the center. The space between the circles remains constant.

The symbol is often printed in black and white when color printing is not available. When colors are used, usually the circles and spokes are gold and the background is dark blue to black. However, the symbol is also sometimes blue on white or white on blue. The World Subud Association has registered this design, as well as the name "Subud", as a trade, service or collective membership mark in many countries.
