The shield of ESGAC is surrounded by a circular stripe divided into three sectors with the national colors. The upper half is yellow, inscribed with "POLICIA NACIONAL" in black bold letters, the lower part is blue on the left and red on the right, inscribed with "ESCUELA DE GUÍAS Y ADIESTRAMIENTO CANINO" in black bold letters. The center of the shield, on a yellow background, features the National Police's star, superimposed with a saber and a rifle crossed in saltire, and, all over, the head of a German Shepherd dog, looking at the
shield's dexter. The whole is surrounded by laurel wreaths and, in the lower part, a scroll inscribed with "FIDELIDAD Y ABNEGACIÓN" [Loyalty and Abnegation] in red letters on a yellow field. The motto recalls the loyalty of the dog to the guide and the abnegation of the guide to the dog.

Is this "bearing a golden staff", or "its flagstaff being gold-coloured"?
By accident we had two such stripes, but they were to far apart to form a single diagonal. As a stop-gap measure I filled in the gaps with red and white.
But I wonder whether we need some sort of shading to indicate the red diagonal on the red stripe. I now that part of the design will not be very strong, regardless, but if one could see the red diagonal continuing, then at least the design would make sense.
Hm, interesting, those colours. Hope apparently is an aspiration to a better future, while life is filled with tenacity, struggle, and liberty.

They do draw it that way. But in the photograph, it doesn't look like that.

But do you guys otherwise think of the flag in the photograph, BTW?

Redrawn to improve the diagonal

image by Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 14 May 2015
A different direction

I myself think it doesn't look so much like a bi-colour green over red, over all a bi-colour narrow rising diagonal, red over white - as like a bi-colour narrow rising diagonal, white over red.
