There are approximately 195 independent countries in the world, each with their own unique flag. Here, we take a deeper look into the Brazilian flag and the history behind its unique design and colors.
The green and yellow show the Braganza-Habsburg family and have, been a distinguishing sign of the Brazilian banner for some, numerous years.Each colour of the Brazil flag has a symbolic meaning. The yellow represents the wealth of the Brazilian soil, including the gold reserve. The green symbolizes the flora and fauna, particularly the Amazon rain forest, the jungle along the Atlantic Ocean and the Pantanal.
The Bandeira do Brasil, as the flag is known in Portuguese, was designed by Raimundo Teixeira Mendes, and was adopted in its original form as the country's national flag in 1889. Mendes was assisted by Miguel Lemos, Manuel Pereira Reis and Dcio Villares. The green 'field' of the flag is occupied by a yellow rhombus.
Just like with the American National flag, each color stands for something very important to the Brazilian culture. Yellow represents the gold reserves the country holds. Green symbolizes the great Amazon Rainforest, Atlantic Jungle, and the Panama " all of their amazing tropical landscape.
In the center of this yellow shape are a blue circle with the saying "Ordem e Progresso" (meant "Order and Progress" in English) and 27 white five-pointed stars. This demonstrates the night sky over Rio de Janeiro, even as far as the individual situating of the stars. Every star means a particular state, of which there are exactly 27. 'Order and Progress' was the justifying principle for many oligarchic and authoritarian regimes in Latin America between 1870 and 1930. They conceded that democracy is a better form of government, but for a democracy to function properly, the population had to be educated and economic and material progress should be made first.
Unlike the stars on the American National flag, each particular star on the Brazilian flag represents one particular state. All stars are actually present in the night sky, which is depicted as if seen from above and positioned as they would have been on 15 November 1889 at 08:30 over Rio de Janeiro. There are 5 orders of magnitude. These magnitudes do not directly correspond to the astronomical magnitudes but are relative to them.
