This beautiful tricolor flag of ultramarine-gold-ultramarine is chock full of symbolism. Gaining their independence in November 1966, and joining the Commonwealth realm, Barbados shed the flag that they held as a colony and created a new one. Designed by Grantley W. Prescod, the flag was chosen from an open competition arranged by the Barbados government. Prescod intended for the ultramarine to stand for the sea and sky, respectively for each band while the gold was to represent the sand. While all this seems to be basic symbolism, the “broken trident” is where the symbolism takes hold. The trident symbol for the current flag was taken from the colonial badge that was given to Barbados. The trident of Poseidon is shown being help by Britannia; with the staff “broken” off the trident. The intended significance of this is the symbolic break from the status of colony. The three points on the trident also exemplify the principals of democracy: government of the people, government for the people, government by the people.
