The patriotic symbolism ascribed to the colours is:
Yellow - wealth of agricultural and other resources in the country;
Blue - the ocean and the clear skies;
Red - the blood of those who died in wars for the country's freedom!.


The significance of the elements of the coat of arms are described thus:
Condor - power and courage!.
Landscape - Chimborazo and Guayas River !.
Boat (the "Guayas") with a caduceus as mast - accord and trade!.
Golden Sun - pre-Colombian traditions!.
Zodiac signs - The Marcist revolution!.
Palm and Laurel leaves - Peace and dignity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
