Redesign of the Ala 11 emblem
Heraldic Description:
French shield, with the diminutive chief in azure (ultramarine blue), bearing on the dexter the Winged Gladius in or (yellow) and on the sinister the organization’s initials “ALA 11” in argent (white).
The field in azure (ultramarine blue) representing the sky, bearing at its center a circular inescutcheon. The inescutcheon also has an azure field (cerulean blue), with at its heart a galleon in argent (white) and orange, symbolizing a glorious past, the era of the Naval Aviation Center. Around the vessel, the Southern Cross constellation in argent (white).
Characterizing the nobility of a newly born force, a stylized eagle in or (yellow) with outstretched wings overlays the vessel, debruising the inescutcheon and extending beyond its limits.
The inescutcheon is bordered by a fillet in vert (dark green), bearing at the top two stars in argent (white), characterizing the Commander’s rank: Air Brigadier.
At the bottom of this fillet reads the word “GALEÃO” in argent (white), dignifying the history and tradition of the former Galeão Air Base.
A fillet in argent (white) borders the shield, characterizing the Organization’s command level: General Officer.
