Insignia Description
A gold color metal and enamel insignia 1 1/4 inches (3.18cm) in height overall consisting of an orange sun of twelve rays charged with a gold bell, the sun surmounted on either side by two white enamel lions respectant and sitting on an orange enamel scroll inscribed “UTMOST OF OUR ABILITY” in gold letters, the space between the sun and scroll and behind the lion’s black enamel.

Symbolism
The design commemorates the unit’s service in World War II for which it was awarded the Meritorious Unit Streamer inscribed “Asiatic-Pacific.”  The two lions are from the coat of arms of Burma; they stand for participation in the Central Burma and India-Burma Campaigns.  A lion device is also one of India’s state emblems; it forms the capital of one of the great stone pillars erected by the famous Emperor Asoka about 350 B.C.   The sun with twelve rays is from the flag of China; the bell, an ancient instrument for signaling, is of a type used in the Orient where bells were first introduced and are widely used today.  The sun and bell refer to the installation and operation of telephone communications during the China offensive in 1945.  The colors orange and white are those used for the Signal Corps.

History
The insignia was originally approved for the 35th Signal Group on 2 August 1968.  It was redesignated for the 35th Signal Brigade on 25 September 1980.
