Description of the Arms

The coat of arms depicts a sailing ship of the WIC and a laraha (bitter orange), as well as the coat of arms of Amsterdam as an inescutcheon. The design symbolizes Curaçao's history and connection with the House of Orange-Nassau and the city of Amsterdam. It was adopted in 1962.

The coat of arms was blazoned as:
Party per pale, first argent a sailboat proper in full sail on a sea azure, second argent a laraha vert on a mount in base of the same, overall an inescutcheon gules a pale sable three saltorels argent.

National emblem

A new emblem was selected in 2022.

In 2020, ten years after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, the government decided that the coat of arms needed to be replaced by a new design. In July 2022, a design competition was launched for a new emblem to replace the coat of arms and 205 designs were submitted to the competition. From 20 to 30 September 2022, the public could vote for their favorite out of ten designs selected by the committee. The winning design was revealed on 10 October 2022, but it has not been officially adopted.

It consists of the arches of the Queen Emma Bridge, a cactus, a hummingbird and a traditional fishing boat.
