The colours are derived from the flag of the Netherlands. The arms show the old courthouse, a bouquet of yellow sage (the national flower), and a silhouette of the monument honouring Dutch-French friendship and the unity of both parts of the island. The orange border symbolizes loyalty to the ruling Dutch house of Oranje-Nassau. <br/>The crest is formed by a yellow disc which represents the sun, and a grey silhouette of a pelican in flight. The motto in Latin, "Semper Progrediens" means "Always Progressing".
