The municipal flag, designed by the heraldist Arcinoé Antonio Peixoto de
Faria, shall be quartered by a cross, with green quarters formed by white
stripes superimposed with red stripes, placed horizontally. The coat of arms is
inscribed in a white circle placed in the center.
The quartering in
cross recalls the people's Christian spirit. The coat of arms represents the
municipal government while the white circle inscribing it represents the town
proper as the municipal seat. White is a symbol of peace, prosperity and work.
The white stripes charged with red stripes represent the spread of municipal
power all over the territory. Red is a symbol of dedication, patriotic love and
courage and valiance. The green quarters represent the rural estates scattered
over the municipal territory. Green is a symbol of civility, honor, courtesy
and abundance.
The shield's style is based on Brazilian heraldry, which
was introduced from Portugal. The mural crown is the universal symbol of
domain's coats of arms; it is argent (silver) with six towers, four visible in
perspective view and red gates. In the shield's center, Christ on the cross,
symbolizing the people's faith to their patron saint.
The lower part
represents the mountainous region where the municipality is located and it
stony soil. The pig recalls one of the municipality's main sources of income.
The outer ornaments, maize and soybean, represent the main products of
agriculture. The scroll is inscribed in letters argent with the name "IBICARÉ"
surrounded by the date of its political emancipation, "01/05/1962".
