The Mexico Banner and Its Sign

Compared to other areas, the banner and emblem of Mexico have the oldest and the most interesting background. The story behind the banner's concepts depicts the culture of the Aztecs, the ancient people who lived in the early grounds of Mexico. As early as 1325, the Aztecs were already settling in the zone now know as the Mexican territory. With a concept seen by the Aztecs through one of their gods, the Aztecs were said to have built their central city on the island where they saw an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent attached in its talon. This aspect was adopted as the National Coat of Arms symbol and was included on the official banner pattern of Mexico.

With regard to the color concepts of the Mexican banner, records claimed that green indicates for independence, red for union, and white for the Roman Catholic religion. The banner also underwent redrafts and modifications starting 1995. The Flag Law decree how the Coat of Arms concept should also be created on the banner's reverse side. With this decree, the reverse concepts of Mexico's state banner featured an eagle, standing in its right grasp with its beak curved around the serpent. After the series of concept modifications, the pattern of Mexico's state banner is now considered one of the most intriguing concepts in world state symbols.
