Unofficial coat of arms

[edit]

Guadeloupe has an unofficial coat of arms based on the coat of arms of its capital Basse-Terre. The arms have a black field with a 30-rayed yellow sun and a green sugarcane, and a blue stripe with three yellow fleurs-de-lis on the top. The emblem appears on 10 euro collector coins minted by Monnaie de Paris, as well as some fabric badges.

Logo used by the Regional Council of Guadeloupe

The regional government uses a logo showing a stylized sun and bird on a green and blue square, with REGION GUADELOUPE underlined in yellow inscribed beneath it. The device is central to the flag used by the government of the région.
