| These emblems were used on the Gillig Transit Coach. They have been listed chronologically in order from the earliest to the most recent.NOTE: These images may take up to several minutes to load on a dial-up internet connection. |
| This emblem was used on the first Gillig school bus in 1932, and was used on all Gillig coaches until the late 1950s. It was also the main Gillig Corporation logo from the 1930s until the early 1950s. |

 |
| This emblem was used on the interior front bulkhead of most Gilligs manufactured from around the 1940s on up to the mid 1950s. This particular emblem was saved from a partially converted-then-abandoned 1951 Gillig 501D-11 that was located in Belfair, Washington. The bus had an International 501 cu. in. gas engine and a Spicer 4-speed manual transmission. At the time this emblem was picked from it, the bus was badly corroded from years of non-use. |
 |
| Used in the mid 1950s and ending in the early 1960s, this emblem is perhaps the best looking of all emblems Gillig used on the interior front bulkhead. This emblem came in two variations. One with the red border painted black and the other variation being the emblem seen here. |
 |
| This emblem replaced the emblem above at around 1964-ish or so. The only thing that is totally identical is the words "HAYWARD, CAL." and "BROS." on the V'shaped notch at the bottom of the oval. This emblem, and the one above it, were roughly half the size of the exterior emblems |
 |
 |
| This emblem was the first in the "Gillig Oval" series of emblems used from the mid 1950s on up to the early 1980s. |
 |
| These two emblems are the second exterior emblem variation in the "oval-emblem" era. This emblem features a thinner border than its predecessor, and the lettering below the word "GILLIG" is more fine tuned. Additionally, the background texturing has changed from a mottled appearance to a machine-sculpted look. This emblem also came in two different variations. The above is all-chrome, and the lower one is an emblem featuring the more popular "blue" background. These two emblems were picked from a 1976 Gillig that was retired from the Shelton School District in 1998. |
 |
 |
| This is the last emblem in the "Oval Emblem" lineage. It was last used in 1982 as Gillig adopted a new, fresh corporate logo. The most interesting fact about this variation is that most of these emblems tended to oxidize and corrode faster than any other emblem Gillig ever used. The above photo out of these two shows an emblem that was badly corroded. The lower emblem is a remarkable one in the fact that it has not oxidized at all. The above emblem is a scan provided by Trina Falk, and the lower one is a photo of the emblem mounted on Shelton School District's only remaining Gillig. Like the last interior Gillig emblem on this page, the word "BROS." was removed because a major San Francisco steel manufacturer bought Gillig Corporation in 1976, and Gillig Bros. was renamed to "Gillig Corporation" as a result. These two are also interchangeable with the older exterior Gillig oval emblems, as the two are identical in size. |
 |
| This emblem is virtually identical to the one above it. In fact, the outlines are exactly the same, as is the words "GILLIG" and "HAYWARD, CAL.". The only difference is that the emblem's background texture is different and the lack of the abbreviated word "BROS." This emblem was used from 1976 up to 1982. |

| This is an emblem used on all Gilligs equipped with a Fuller Roadranger 10-speed manual transmission. These emblems were placed within view of the driver on the dashboard, and measured roughly six inches in length by roughly four inches in height. Two variations exist, one for the RT-610 pictured here, and the other for an RT-910. The RT-610 was used in rear-engine applications, and the 910 was used in all mid-engine applications. The diagram for the RT-910 is seen below: |

| This little emblem was used from the early 1960s on up to the late 1970s. It was mounted directly below the front emblem on the bus and signified the model number of that particular bus. The numbers were interchangeable on all of these emblems, as they slid inside a little groove between the emblem face and the front body wall. |

| These three emblems were known as the Serial Data plates, and were usually installed in the stepwell of a Gillig. The first one is a typical ID placard used on Gillig buses from around 1940 on up to the late 1960s. The second one was used on all Gilligs manufactured from right around the mid 1960s on up to 1978. Pictured here is the second variation of this placard. Instead of saying "GILLIG CORP." on the placard below "GILLIG COACH", the first variation resembled the serial data plate before it. And the last one in this series is the serial data plate used on all Gillig coaches from 1978 onward. A slightly different version of the third serial data plate is being used today by Gillig, and in later years of the "classic" style Gillig school bus, the Serial Data Plate was nothing more than a machine-printed adhesive-backed decal. |
