The municipality of Arambaré (3,755 inhabitants in 2016; 51,912 ha) is
located 160 km south of Porto Alegren on Lagoa dos Pato, Brazil's largest lagoon
(101,000 ha).
Ivan Sache, 11 July 2020
The flag and arms of Arambaré are prescribed by Municipal Law
No. 103 promulgated on 24 August 1994.
Article 1.
The coat of arms and
the flag were designed by the Gaúcha heraldist and artist Rosa Maria Accorsi
Lang.
Article 2.
The coat of arms of the municipality shall be as
follows:
Portuguese shield, tierced in fess wavy argent (white) on a
background azure (blue), evoking the water resources, especially Lagoa dos Patos
and the sand of its beaches, natural resources that highlight the municipality,
turning it into a tourism attractive pole and presenting it to the other
regions.
In chief, superimposed to a sun or (gold) and gules (red), a gull
argent as a symbol of liberty, the feeling that motivated the early settlers of
the region and pushed towards the independence of the municipality.
In
counter-chief, dexter and sinister, two men's profiles separated by a fess wavy
azure (blue), symbolizing stream Velhaco that flows into Lagoa dos Patos. The
profiles, dexter argent (white) and sinister vert (green), represent
miscegenation between the diverse colonizing people and the local people and
their integration to form a union generating wealth and progress.
Dexter is
featured a fig tree vert (green) and or (yellow), a tree of great stand and rare
beauty, present in great number in the region and characteristic of it.
Sinister is featured a bull's head or (yellow), symbolizing cattle-breeding, one
of the economic pillars of the municipality.
Beneath the shield a scroll
gules (red) inscribed argent (white) "20 - 03 ARAMBARÉ 1992" - the
municipality's name and date of emancipation.
The shield surmounted by a
mural crown or (gold) and argent (white), with five towers, indicating municipal
coat of arms.
Article 4.
The flag of the municipality shall be blue,
charged in the center with an oval, representing:
I. White: Fraternity,
hospitality and faith, characteristic of the inhabitants of the municipality.
II. Blue: Confidence in a prosperous future, commitment to effort and work.
The construction details of the flag are given in a very clumsy way in
Article 5. To summarize:
- the flag dimensions are 14 x 20 units;
- the
size of the oval is 8 x 10 units [the oval is indeed a circle].
- the length
of the coat of arms is 6.5 units.

The flag hoisted in front of the Town Hall has a
much darker field than the flags used in other events.
