The National Emblem of Togo was adopted on 14 March 1962.
In the device, there are two red lions to be seen, which symbolize the bravery of the people. The bow and arrow call for all citizens to be active in the defense of freedom of the country. Between the lions is a golden shield with the letters RT (=République Togolaise) to be seen. Above the flag of Togo is displayed twice. On the ribbon stands "Union, Paix, Solidarite" (Unity, Peace, Solidarity). Earlier there stood in its place "Travail, Liberté, Patrie" (Work, Liberty, Homeland).
