Insignia

The central elements of the emblem are the Ostroh coat of arms (“Ostrozkyi”), a six-pointed star, and a crescent moon. The colors of the shield have symbolic meanings: gold represents justice, greatness, and nobility; red stands for courage and bravery; black signifies determination and resilience. A ribbon with “Dei Gratia” is part of Prince Ostrozkyi’s motto.
