Fernando de Noronha

The flag of Fernando de Noronha was designed in 1982 by Jorge Longuinho, Military Governor of the Air Force and heraldist of the Brazilian Armed Forces. The flag consists of a white lozenge placed on a Royal blue rectangle and charged with the coat of arms. A green mound representing natural vegetation is represented in the coat of arms by the "Big Rock", the emblem of Fernando de Noronha. Two silver dolphins with shadows surround the landscape. There are three silver waves and three flag-green waves at the base. The shield is surrounded by a cotice or symbol of emerging richness, inscribed "FERNANDI NORONHAE". A Portuguese escutcheon is positioned on top. The shield is surrounded by two green branches, which represent the agricultural resources of the archipelago. The whole is surmounted by a mural crown, which represents strength and resistance.
