Emblem of Vietnam
The National Emblem of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnamese: Quốc huy nước Cộng hòa Xã hội chủ nghĩa Việt Nam, lit. 'State emblem of the nation of Socialist Republic of Vietnam'), or simply the emblem of Vietnam and State emblem (Quốc huy), is one of the official national symbols formally representing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam since 1976. A prominent example of the socialist-style heraldic family, the Vietnamese national emblem is designed circular and based on the symbolism of the Vietnamese national flag, having a red background and a yellow star in the middle which represent the five main classes in Vietnamese society—intellectuals, farmers, workers, business people and military personnel; the revolutionary history and bright future of Vietnam.
