The badge combines the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower with a cradle and the fleur de lis, or lily.

The Tower represents Paris, while the cradle and fleur de lis are the symbols of the quiet suburban town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where PSG train and are headquartered (about 15 miles west of Paris).

A similar design features on the town's crest.

Saint-Germain is nicknamed 'le berceau de Louis XI' (the cradle of Louis XIV), as the town happens to be the birthplace of the Sun King in 1638, hence the cradle.

The lily is also a longstanding royal symbol in France.

The pram is an emblem for Paris, more exactly, it was the emblem of the 'Water Merchants', a merchants' guild in Paris in the Middle Ages.
