Design[edit]
All elements on the crest are red. On some versions they have black outlines; others have colourless outlines.
The small swallowtail flag and parasol (payung ubor-ubor), regalia of the sultanate's monarchy,[1] have been the royal insignia since the creation of the emblem. (See also: chhatra, religious parasol)
The wings symbolise protection of justice, tranquility, prosperity and peace.
Below these is the crescent, a symbol of Islam, the state religion of Brunei.
On the sides, the upturned hands indicate the government's duty is to preserve and promotes the welfare of the citizens and to protect the people.
