National emblem This article is about the official animals, plants, symbols, etc., of nations. For the Edwin Eugene Bagley march, see National Emblem (march) . A
national emblem symbolically represents a
nation . Most national emblems originate in the natural world, (as
animal s, say, or
bird s), but any object may serve.
National emblems may appear on such items as the national
flag ,
coat of arms , or other
patriotic materials. One should not confuse a formal national emblem with less formal symbols potentially associated with
tourism or
cliché s, for example
windmill s in
the Netherlands .
