Badge of the Solomon Islands (1956-1978) Hoodie Design
Embrace the historical artistry of the Solomon Islands with this hoodie design, featuring the emblem used from 1956 to 1978. This design offers a vibrant window into the nation's heritage and natural world.
Shield of Symbolic Quarters
At the heart of the design lies a quarterly shield, each section carefully crafted to represent key aspects of the Solomon Islands. The top-left quarter presents a bold red field emblazoned with a gold lion passant guardant, a symbol of the British connection during the colonial era.
The top-right quarter showcases a yellow field, home to a yellow bird perched on a branch, a vibrant tribute to the nation's diverse avian life. Below, the bottom-left quarter features a blue field, with a sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) in its natural colors, a symbol of the rich marine biodiversity that surrounds the islands.
Finally, the bottom-right quarter presents a light blue field. Two white seabirds in flight capture the essence of the coastal and island communities, representing the people and their connection to the sea.
Colonial Coronation
Above the shield, a gold coronet signifies the colonial governance of the period, adding a regal touch to the emblem's composition.
Encircling Inscription
The entire emblem is framed by a white ring, with the inscription "BRITISH SOLOMON ISLANDS" elegantly placed at the bottom, further anchoring the design in its historical context.
