Flag of Barbados

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

It consists of a triband of two bands of ultramarine, which are said to stand for the ocean; separated by a golden middle band, representing the sand on the island. A black trident-head (commonly called the "broken trident"), is centred within the golden band.

The trident symbol was taken from Barbados' colonial badge, where the trident is shown with Britannia holding it. The broken lower part symbolizes a symbolic break from its status as a colony. The three points of the trident represent the three principles of democracy - 1) government of, 2) for, and 3) by the people.
