The emblem adopted by the New York Association of Independent Insurance Adjusters is based on British Heraldry.

Heraldry, which was a method of identifying the heralds of messengers, dates back to the year 1400, which approximates the founding of the adjusting profession in the British Isles. As such, the emblem is designed to represent the qualities of the person, clan or firm which adopts it.

The eagle represents strength of purpose, freedom and fairness. The circles or amulets on the shield, symbolize friendship, and the hand - faith, justice and friendship.

The emblem was adopted in 1957, but its members have been living by its precepts throughout their business careers. The organization of the NYAIAI in 1940, was designed to foster professionalism, expertise, quality, integrity and service in the independent insurance adjusting profession.
