The author of the drawing of the sign is the artist S. I. Dmitriev. The "Guard" badge was issued to military personnel of military units, formations and associations of the Armed Forces of the USSR, transformed into guards, and its image was also placed on the banners of these units. For a long time, the units of the USSR Navy used their own version of the Guards badge, proposed by B. M. Khomich. The Soviet Guards badge ceased to exist due to the collapse of the USSR. In the guard units of some states in the post-Soviet space, it has been preserved in a modified form.
