The Cayman Islands Coat of Arms is a unifying identity for the Cayman Islands and one of our National Symbols. National symbols intend to unite people by creating visual, verbal, or iconic representations of the national people, values, goals, or history.

These guidelines for use of the Cayman Islands Coat of Arms have been developed to help ensure this National Symbol is appropriately used and consistently applied as part of official Cayman Islands Government branding and in approved commercial and promotional use.

The Coat of Arms, Flag and National Song Law (2005 Revision) is the legislative framework that governs the official national symbols of the Cayman Islands. The Law formally defines the status, design, and approved use of the Cayman Islands Coat of Arms, the National Flag, and the National Song.

Permission from the Protocol Office is required for any non-government use of the Coat of Arms. Other Related Items:
