The municipality of Mosteiros, in Fogo Island,
Cabo Verde, has a red flag with its logo over all
surrounded by the usual 10 yellow five-pointed
stars (from 8 to 11 o’clock and from 1 to 4 o’clock), by a white
scroll reading "Município dos Mosteiros - Cabo Verde" in
black sans-serif capitals (below), and by three overlapping white
ellipses (12 o’clock).

The banner, in small rigid pentagonal
hanging form (what in Portuguese is usually called a
galhardete), is quartered
green and red; shown
on
line, and also visible
at the Mayor’s office.

The logo itself is circular and shows a sloped seaside landscape in shades of light blue and greys, with a snow-covered peak and four brown coffee beans at the observer’s right in foreground, stacked 2+2. All items outlined in black.
Since "mosteiros" / "musteru" means "monasteries", this is not a canting logo, as no building is visible on it. Coffee, on the other hand, is the municipality’s major produce.
