The Emblem of Vietnam (Template:Lang-vi) is the official national emblem of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It was adopted on November 30, 1955, and has been in use since the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
Design[edit | edit source]
The emblem features a circular design with a red background, symbolizing the Vietnamese flag. In the center, there is a yellow five-pointed star, representing the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the unity of the Vietnamese people. Surrounding the star are two rice ears, which symbolize the importance of agriculture in the country. Below the star, there is a cogwheel, representing the industrial sector and the working class. The cogwheel and rice ears are tied together by a red ribbon with the inscription "Cộng hòa Xã hội chủ nghĩa Việt Nam" (Socialist Republic of Vietnam).
