Coat of arms of Honduras.svg
The coat of arms of Honduras was created on October 3, 1825. Dionisio Herrera, as the Head of State of Honduras, decreed through his initiative, Honduras acquired its own national shield, one which represents Honduran history and the rich variety of national resources that it possesses and which should be protected and conserved. The National Congress thereby declared in its decree #16 and article 142, designated the shield as a national symbol for all uses, in a clear and general manner. The National Congress approved this in Tegucigalpa on January 10, 1935. (http://www.honduras.com/official/)

The National Congress decrees:

Article 1 - The National Coat of Arms that shall be used is an equilateral triangle. On its base is a volcano between two castles, over them is a rainbow and below it [and] behind the volcano a sun rises spreading light. The triangle [is] placed over land which appears to be bathed by both seas [Atlantic and Pacific]. Around it an oval containing in gold lettering: "REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS, LIBRE, SOBERANA E INDEPENDIENTE. 15 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 1821" [Republic of Honduras, Free, Sovereign and Independent. 15th September 1821] On the top part of the oval there is a quiver full of arrows from which hang horns of plenty joined with a knot resting over a mountain range from which clearly stand three oak trees on the right hand side and three pine trees on the left, and mines, a bar, a drill, a wedge, a sledgehammer and a hammer [all] distributed as appropriate.

En su base aparecerá la cordillera de cinco volcanes colocados sobre un terreno que se figure bañado por ambos mares: en la parte superior un arco iris que los cubra; y bajo el arco el gorro de la libertad esparciendo luces. En torno del triángulo y en figura circular, se escribirá con letras de oro: Provincias Unidas del Centro de América [...] El pabellón nacional constará de tres fajas horizontales, azules la superior y la inferior y blanca la del centro, en la cual irá dibujado el escudo..."

Coat of arms of El Salvador.svg
Coat of arms of El Salvador
  • The coat of arms has the words (REPÚBLICA DE EL SALVADOR EN LA AMÉRICA CENTRAL) in a bold and Heavy, Sans Serif Boris Black Bloxx typeface, in a golden amber color
  • The nacional motto (DIOS UNIÓN LIBERTAD) in bold version of Trajan (typeface), Roman type, Roman square capitals. The letters are colored black within a golden amber scroll.
  • The date (15 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 1821) in bold version of Trajan (typeface), Roman type, Roman square capitals.
Its center consists of a bold golden amber triangle outline in which a row of five green forested coned peaked volcanoes, covered in lush and healthy vegetation of various shades of green color depicting a tropical jungle forest, rise out of the turquoise Pacific Ocean swells. The volcanoes are illuminated yellow on their right sides by sunshine. Above the volcanoes is a crimson red Phrygian cap on a staff before an amber sun surrounded by rays of Glory with a vortex of shooting spiraling swirling rays, and a volcanic "red sky at morning" under the sun in the horizon. The date of the Independence Day of El Salvador, 15 September 1821, is written in black letters around the sun. On the top, there is a rainbow arch. Behind the coat of arms there are five cobalt blue and white striped flags, one of those flags is risen straight up behind and over the triangle, hanging loosely around its spear, and the other four flags are risen half way and stretch out like wings from behind the triangle's sides, two on each side, one over another. The flags hang loosely on their sides, creating almost a horn-like effect with their ends tied up behind the triangle's bottom. All of the five flags are each held up and raised with Native American Indigenous wooden war spears. Under the triangle, there is a golden amber scroll which states the national motto of El Salvador: Dios, Unión, Libertad (Spanish: "God, Union, Liberty") in boldface black capital letters. The triangle, flags, and scroll are surrounded by a green laurel wreath in various shades of Laurus nobilis green color tied together with a cobalt blue and white striped ribbon. All this is surrounded by bold golden amber letters, which form the Spanish words REPÚBLICA DE EL SALVADOR EN LA AMÉRICA CENTRAL (English: Republic of El Salvador in Central America).
