National emblem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia National emblems may appear on such items as the national flag, coat of arms, or other patriotic materials. One should not confuse a formal national emblem with less formal symbols potentially associated with tourism or clichés, for example windmills in the Netherlands. Most national emblems originate in the natural world, (as animals, say, or birds), but any object may serve. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_emblem   (252 words)

Blue Sky with a White Sun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The flag and the KMT party emblem made the news in during the ROC legislative elections of 2004, when President Chen Shui-bian suggested that the Kuomintang's flag and party emblem violated the ROC's National Emblem Law and copyright laws for being too similar to the national emblem of the Republic of China. The Blue Sky with a White Sun (Chinese:青天白日; pinyin: qīng tīan bái rì) serves as the design for the party flag and emblem of the Kuomintang, the canton of the flag of the Republic of China, the national emblem of the Republic of China, and as the naval jack of the ROC Navy. This officially became the national flag in 1928, and continued to serve as the naval ensign; the "Blue Sky with a White Sun" flag was adopted as the naval jack at the same time. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Emblem_of_the_Republic_of_China   (680 words)

The Czech national emblem The national emblem of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic is represented by a red shield in the shape of a Hussite pavis with a five-pointed star at the top and a white two-tailed lion rampant with a red escutcheon on its chest showing a blue silhouette of Mount Kriváò and a bonfire in gold colour.
