The coat of arms of Botswana was adopted on 25 January 1966. The center shield is supported by two zebras. The shape of the shield is that of traditional shields found in Southern Africa.

On the top portion of the shield are three cogwheels that represent industry.

The three waves symbolize water, and reminds the viewer of the motto of the nation: pula, which means simply "rain", but also good luck, and is also the name of the nation's currency. This motto also highlights the importance of water to Botswana. The motto is on a blue ribbon placed at the bottom of the coat of arms.

At the bottom of the shield is the head of a bull, which symbolizes the importance of cattle herding in Botswana. The two zebras also symbolize the importance of wildlife, through tourism, in the national economy. Also, zebra have black and white stripes which represent equality of people of all colors in Botswana. The zebra on the right holds an ear of sorghum, an important crop in the nation. The zebra on the left holds a tusk of ivory, symbolic of the former ivory trade in Botswana. There is also view that ivory tusk represents wild life preservation. Botswana has one of the highest elephant populations in Africa.

Our design incorporates both zebras, the motto, the head of a bull, and one cogwheel.
