Brazil Flag

Designed by Raimundo Teixeira Mendes, the national flag of Brazil consists of a green base with a large yellow rhombus in the middle of it. Inside the rhombus is a blue circle with white stars of different sizes depicting a kind of starry sky. There is a white banner running through the circle. On the circle is a motto which reads "Ordem e Progresso" which translates in English to "Order and Progress".

There are a total twenty seven white stars in the Brazil Flag. Each of the star represents each and every 'Federal District' as well as state of Brazil. The green color signifies Brazil's verdant pasture and forest region, while the yellow colored diamond shape indicates Brazil 's gold resources. Brazil was once home to the largest gold mines in world.
