The flag of Barbados is a blue-gold-blue equal vertical tricolour. In the centre of the flag is a black stylized broken trident.
Symbolism[]
The blue, yellow and other blue represent the sea, sand and sky. The trident was taken from the colonial flag of Barbados during British rule, when Britannia can be seen holding a trident. When Barbados became independent, the trident was broken (without a staff), to signify that it broke away from Britain.[3]
