In February 2004, a competition was called for symbols of the Region of Lima.
It appears the person who won the coat of arms category was Alfonso Salcedo
Rubio. His design is geometric and represents union, fellowship, and time. It
also resembles the Andean cross, a recurrent symbol of the original cultures of
the area. Each shape in the coat of arms represents a province of the region,
described as follows: yellow (Cañete), red (Barranca), dark green (Huaral),
brown (Canta), light green (Huaura), blue (Oyón), light blue (Cajatambo), purple
(Yauyos), and orange (Huarochirí).
The contest started because the region
did not have any symbols of its own; it had recently been established on
November 19, 2002. From what I could find, the coat of arms has been used since
at least January 2005. However, it was not until December 15, 2017, that the
regional symbols were approved as official by Regional Ordinance Nº
016-2017-CR-GRL. The ordinance describes the flag as being white with the coat
of arms of the region centered. White is described as symbolizing integration
and peace. It appears that officially, the symbolism was changed because the
section which recognizes the regional symbols said the white stood for integrity
and peace; the official adoption swaps integrity with integration.
