Lebanon never officially adopted a coat of arms or emblem. However, various unofficial coats of arms have been used since the proclamation of independence on 7 December 1943, but were not in any type of use until the flag's modification in 21 September 1990. The main variant consists of a red shield with a white bend sinister on which is placed a cedar tree. It is similar to the flag of Lebanon, with the exception of the Spanish fess on the flag being changed into a bend sinister.
The seals of the Supreme Judicial Council of Lebanon, of the President of the Republic, and of the Republican Guard also feature variants of the unofficial coat of arms.
