![[Colina,
SP (Brazil)]](../images/b/br-sp-cl.gif)
by Joseph McMillan
The flag is the coat of arms on a white field. The coat of arms was
designed by the artist Vítor Martins and adopted by municipal law 660 of 4
June 1970. It is divided quarterly: (1) red with a sword and laurel
wreath, signifying command (this is also the principal charge in the state
coat of arms); (2) blue with inescutcheons of Portugal [although the
accompanying image shows this inescutcheon as a yellow cross on green] and
of the Italian tricolor flag stripes, for the principal origins of the
colonists who settled Colina; (3) [not described in the blazon on the
official site] silver with a sun rising behind a green mountain; (4) yellow
with Mercury's cap and a gear-wheel, for commerce and industry. The shield
is flanked with branches of coffee and corn and ensigned with a mural crown.
