Lambang Kabupaten Bandung (Coat of Arms) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases the official Coat of Arms of Bandung Regency, a visually rich emblem steeped in symbolism.
Design Elements
The design features a shield shape, divided into distinct sections. At the top, a stylized green mountain, representing Mount Tangkuban Perahu, rises against a golden yellow background. This signifies the fertile, mountainous landscape of the region.
A horizontal, black, embattled band, resembling a fortress, cuts across the shield. Below this, a field of red displays a green quina tree (cinchona tree). Wavy blue and white lines adorn the base, depicting the region's waterways.
Symbolism and Meaning
The mountain embodies the regency's mountainous terrain and fertility. The black embattled band represents the strong foundations and moral strength of the community, able to resist temptation.
The quina tree is a symbol of natural wealth and, more specifically, the abundance of water sources, such as rivers and lakes. The wavy blue and white lines further emphasize the importance of waterways to the region.
Colors and Representation
The colors are integral to the design's meaning. The gold represents prosperity and nobility. Black signifies strength, firmness, and resilience, while green embodies fertility, fresh air, and further prosperity. Red embodies courage, and blue represents loyalty. White signifies purity.
The overall design reflects the geography and character of Bandung Regency: a fertile, mountainous region with abundant water resources. It also embodies the values of the people: strength, morality, courage, and a commitment to prosperity. The shield itself symbolizes protection, guarding the well-being of the community.
