Abu Dhabi: The Cabinet endorsed the new official coat of arms of the UAE, on 22 march 2008 approved by President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, WAM reported.
Federal and local authorities should start using the new emblem from May 1 with a final deadline of December 31, the Cabinet said.
It must be used on documents such as passports and driving licences when they get renewed.
Instead of the Arabic dhow, which is in the middle of the old one, the new coat of arms displays the UAE flag surrounded by seven stars, representing the seven emirates.
There is also a difference in the colour of the frame and the Arabic font of the name the United Arab Emirates at the bottom.

The United Arab Emirates used to have the 'dhow' on its emblem as it is the traditional boat of the UAE. Falconry has been a old age sport in the UAE and still widely is so. It is indeed, very much part of UAE culture. Thus, the falcon as the emblem. That was the old emblem though. Today there is a new one which has the flag of the UAE in the center of the falcon and seven stars circling the flag. Each star represents each of the seven emirates.
