Flag of brazil

The flag of Brazil has a green field on which is centered a large yellow rhombus. Within the rhombus is a blue circle, with white stars of five different sizes and a curved white band running through it. The motto Ordem e Progresso ("Order and Progress") is inscribed in capital letters (of the same shade of green as the field) inside the band.

This flag is sometimes called Auriverde which means "(of) gold and green".

The modern flag was officially adopted on November 19, 1889. The concept was the work of Raimundo Teixeira Mendes, with the collaboration of Miguel Lemos and Manuel Pereira Reis. The design was executed by Décio Vilares.

The current national flag and ensign maintains the same design with some minor changes. This 27-star version was adopted on May 12, 1992
