The development of the current Brazilian blazon mostly began after the independence in 1822, when the country was separated from the United Kingdon of Portugal and turned into Brazil Empire. The green and yellow colors came respectively from the houses of Braganza and Habsburg from which the imperial family descended. The independence was proclamed by the son of the king of Portugal, Prince Pedro, who became the first emperor o Brazil, Pedro I. The blue sphere represents the celestial sphere, with stars on the edge in the same number of stars present in the Brazilian flag, each one representing a state, centered by the five stars that make the Crux constellation (Southern Cross). The sphere is placed in the center of a five point star which represents a symbol of the republic. This star has at its right a coffee branch with coffee fruits and at its left a tobacco branch with its flowers. These plants represented a very important crop in Brazil at that time, still are, mainly coffee. At the basis of the star there is a sword that was a military symbol at the time of the Republic (the end of the empire) in 1889. All this lies on a golden 20 point star that glorifies it. At the bottom a blue ribon states the official name of Federative Republic of Brazil (Republica Federativa do Brasil) and the date of the republic creation (15 of November of 1889).
