The national flag is azure blue with a red stripe each on the upper and lower edge. In the middle it bears the coat of arms in a wreath of olive branches in a white disk.
The 1907 coat of arms was slightly modified after independence in 1981. The shield shows Göpel division and reminds with ax and paddle in the first (silver) or ax and saw in the second (golden) field of the precious wood stocks that were rafted to the sea. A British merchant ship under full sail in the lower (blue) field indicates the emergence of the British Honduras colony. The upper coat of arms is a natural-colored mahogany tree. Shield holders are a white man (with an ax) and a black man (with a paddle). The Latin motto »Sub umbra floreo« (I blossom in the shade) comes from the colonial era.
