The flag of Haiti consists of two horizontal stripes - blue at the top and the bottom one is red. In the center of the Haitian flag is the country's coat of arms, placed on a white square.
The coat of arms consists of a trophy of weapons that stands for the willingness that all countrymen should have to defend freedom. Also the coat of arms has a royal palm that symbolizes independence. The palm is topped by the Cap of Liberty.

The motto of the nation is depicted on a white scroll; it reads L'Union Fait La Force ("Unity Makes Strength.")

The color scheme of the Haitian Flag is adapted from the national flag of France. The blue stripe represents vigilance, loyalty, perseverance and justice, and the union of black Haitians and mulatto Haitians. The red symbolizes hardiness, bravery, strength and valour.
