Emblem detail

image by António Martins, 08 July 2017

The municipal emblem of Ribeira Grande de Santiago includes the usual round shield filled up with a distinctive motif: The central motif shows a scene with sunset (or sunrise) over local landmarks (fortress and pillory?) and two palm trees, everything in grades of lightest blue and white, the sun a golden yellow disc. This motif on the circular shield of the municipal emblem seems to be an adaptation to the generic design of Caboverdean municipal emblems of a pre-existing, free style logotype, also seen in (maybe official?) use.
António Martins, 08 Jul 2017

This round emblem is surrounded above by the ten stars in two arcs with a chain segment at the apex, here of three (some times four?) green links, and below by a toponymic scroll, blue — sometimes curved, others straight, sometimes reading "MUNICÍPIO DE RIBEIRA GRANDE DE SANTIAGO" in black serifless capitals, others "RIBEIRA GRANDE DE SANTIAGO" in blue sans serif capitals above "Cidade Velha - Berço da Nação Caboverdiana" set in smaller, black sans serif letters.
