The flag and arms of Riozinho are prescribed by Municipal Law No. 367
promulgated on 30 August 1994.
Article 1.
§1. The format of the flag
is rectangular, so that its width is 0.7 times its length.
I. The color of
the flag's background is white. On the edges are inserted two green and yellow
stripes, in the shade of the national flag, in respective width 10% and 3% of
the flag's width.
II. The coat of arms, placed in the center of the flag,
shall have a width of 0.47 of the flag's width.
§2. The coat of arms of
Riozinho has the following composition.
I. Approximately rounded in shape, it
features in the upper right and left sides grapes of lilac color, recalling
wine-growing and the predominant ethnical origin. On the lower lateral sides are
plant leaves of flag green color, representing the agricultural diversity of the
municipality, protected by a red scroll inscribed with the municipality's name,
emphasizing the Republican ideals.
Beneath the name and isolated from the
rest of the coat of arms, a red scroll with the municipality's date of
emancipation, 10 April 1988.
II. In the shield's center, in the background,
in the upper part, a representation of the municipality's hilly topography, in
different green shades. A source of blue water representing the municipality's
waterfalls, forming river Riozinho that divides the municipality's urban area.
In the lateral lower left part, the origin of Riozinho's settlement is
represented by two roads crossing river Riozinho heading to the municipality's
center. The roads are composed of three stripes, the two outer, white, and the
central, light gray. In front of the mountains, on the right and above river
Riozinho diverse trees in the lilac colors of the grapes symbolizing the
diversity of the native vegetation and fruit growing in the municipality, on a
light yellow fertile soil that projects to the river's lower part.
In the
shield's lower part, above the name, a golden yellow five-cogged wheel,
representing the force of industry. In the shield's upper part, above the
mountains, a light blue sky.
