The coat of arms of Quintana Roo is a modern shield, semi round, divided into three sections. On its Chief, a rising sun in red with ten sunbeams in gold. In the upper dexter section, a red field with the Mayan glyph for a seashell in gold. In the upper sinister section, a silver five point star on a blue field. In the lower section, three green triangles over the Mayan glyph for wind on a gold field.
The sun represents the shiny future for the relatively new State (1974) and its ten sunbeams symbolize each one of the municipalities of Quintana Roo. The Mayan glyph for a seashell represents the ethnic origins of the region. The star symbolizes a new ideal towards higher goals, according to the Mayan culture, the cobalt blue colour represents the sea. The forest wealth of the State is represented by the three triangles; the T-shaped Mayan glyph for wind means the hurricanes, which are characteristic of the region and also symbolize the fertile land.

Quintana Roo flag - The flag is based on the cuban and puerto rican flags, placing it as another spanish-speaking caribbean territory. Flag proposed by daviddelgadohh (2017).
The Caribbean Sea with its winds to the East and 11 municipalities represented with the Mayan glyph for "tree" make up the Flag of Quintana Roo. By Ricardo Vazoli, 2016.
I designed the flag based on the bottom portion of the seal, which represents the forests (as well as the color green) of the state as they are the main historical wealth of the state. I had yellow be the background on the upper half and the ground in the lower half based on the simple reason that yellow (which is also the Mayan color of the south) represents the sun; as not only does it give nutrients and life to the forest and the green trees, Quintana Roo is the first piece of Mexican territory receiving the morning light. greymanbomber. 2017.
