It is made up of a golden falcon and a disk in the middle. There are also seven stars which stand for the seven Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally designed in 1973, the emblem was officially adopted in 2008. Before it was adopted, it was modified. The falcon consisted of a red disk with an Arab sailboat at the centre. This was surrounded by a chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might have noticed by now, the golden falcon is prominently featured on the emblem. This signals the great importance that Emiratis attach to the bird. This recognition for the bird is justly earned, considering its use as a hunting guide in the desert.
