The flag and arms of Nova Palma are prescribed by Municipal Law
No. 228 promulgated on 1 September 1977.
Article 2.
The municipal
flag, composed of a white cloth, shall feature in the center the coat of arms of
the municipality.
Article 3.
The coat of arms of the municipality is
composed of a shield surmounted by a crown with medieval towers. It is divided
by two crossed stripes forming four triangles. In the upper triangle is featured
the stylized silhouette of a cordillera, representing Serra de São Martinho; in
the left triangle, a bunch of grapes; in the lower triangle, a factory,
representing the municipality's hydro-electric power plants; in the right
triangle, two wheat spikes, the whole emphasizing in a landscape scenery the
municipality's resources and economical expression, completed by two tobacco
plants surrounding the shield.
One of the stripes features the colors of the
flag of Rio Grande do Sul, recalling that the municipality is part of the
Riograndenense community, while the other features on a white background the
green writing "ORA ET LABORA", synthesizing the faith of Nova Palma's people and
its aspiration to a better future.
The scroll contains, on a yellow
background, year "1884", as the start of colonization, the name of the
municipality, "NOVA PALMA", and year "1960", the municipality's year of official
creation.
All the outlines are blue and the fields white, except the fields
of the upper and lower triangles, which are celestial blue, representing Nova
Palma's sky surrounding Serra de São Martinho and covering the factories.
