About Vasco Da Gama

A heraldic shield outlined in white on a black field. The shield is divided by a diagonal white band from the top-left to bottom-right; within the central area sits an illustrated three-masted sailing ship in white with layered square sails. The central forward sail bears a small red cross.

At the ship's bow is a rounded orange-brown object with black striping resting above stylized black waves. Two small white monogram-like letterforms appear: an overlapping "CR" to the viewer's left and a "VG" near the shield's base. The overall look is traditional and illustrative, dominated by black and white with small red and orange-brown accents.
