Barbados

The national flag of Barbados was officially adopted on November 30, 1966, the island's first Independence Day.

Flag Ratio: 2:3
It consists of a triband of two bands of ultramarine separated by a golden middle band. A black trident head is centred within the golden band. The trident head - also known as the 'broken trident' - symbolizes Barbados' independence from the United Kingdom, and each point represents a point of democracy. The ultramarine bands symbolise the ocean and the sky, and the golden band symbolises the sand of Barbados.
