National Emblem Of Belarus
The national emblem of Belarus features a ribbon in the colors of the national flag, a silhouette of Belarus, wheat ears and a red star. It is sometimes referred to as the coat of arms of Belarus, although in heraldic terms this is inaccurate as the emblem does not respect the rules of conventional heraldry. The emblem is an allusion to one that was used by the Byelorussian SSR, designed by Ivan Dubasov in 1950, with the biggest change being a replacement of the Communist hammer and sickle with a silhouette of Belarus. The Belarusian name is ''Dziaržaŭny herb Respubliki Biełaruś'' (Дзяржаўны герб Рэспублікі Беларусь), and the name in Russian is ''Gosudarstvennyĭ gerb Respubliki Belarusʹ'' (Государственный герб Республики Беларусь).
