The Emblem of Brunei is a national symbol that is also featured on the flag of Brunei. It was adopted in 1959. There are five main components to the national emblem: the flag, the royal parasol (ceremonial umbrella), the wings, the hands, and the crescent.
Below the crescent is a banner; both are inscribed with yellow lettering in Arabic:
- On the crescent, Brunei's national motto: الدائمون المحسنون بالهدى; Ad-dāʾimūna al-muḥsinūna bi-l-hudā, meaning "Always in service with God's guidance" (Malay: "Sentiasa membuat kebajikan dengan petunjuk Allah").
- On the banner (scroll), the state's name: بروني دارالسلام; Brunei Darussalam, literally "Brunei, the Abode of Peace".
