Chosen
Colors
The basic colors are Green
,blue ,red and brown.
We choose blue because its in Greece
flag, blue also symbolizes peace.
Green represents eternal life like the
one the gods will give to the greeks.
Brown represents the ideas of earth,
hearth, home, the outdoors, comfort,
endurance. Red represents life and
vitality.
We choose this color because its what in our
point of view based on what we studied

Symbols
Internal
The internal elements include a
sword and a spear crossing at
the middle, a helmet above the
phrase, and a cross at the
center.
The spear represents the military side
of the Greeks, their victory over
enemies. The sword represents the
Greeks advances in weapons over their
enemies. The cross is a reference to
the actual Greek flag. The helmet
represents the Greek soldier´s value
and courage to defend his empire.
A Greek infantryman’s main battle weapon was the
spear, the spear enabled the heavily armored hoplites, or
infantrymen, to stand together and protect each other. The
most successful sword design of the Ancient World was
developed by the Greeks, who were ostensibly
spearmen. The helmet was an indispensable part of the
amour, almost every soldier in Ancient Greek paintings got
one. The actual Greek flag has a cross because of their
Orthodox Church.

External
There are two basic external
elements, the olive wreath
surrounding the shield, and the
phrase below the helmet.
The phrase is one of Socrates' sayings
and so it represents the Figure of
Socrates as a Greek symbol.
The olive wreath represents glory and
triumph of the Greek civilization.
Socrates was one of the Greek philosophers who left the foundation
for Western philosophy , and this makes him an important Geek figure.
The olive wreath was the maximum prize given by Greeks to the
winners of the Olympic Games, so it was seen as a symbol of victory
and greatness.
