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.^[1][5] 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.^[1][6]

The seals of the Supreme Judicial Council of Lebanon,^[7] of the President of the Republic,^[8] and of the Republican Guard also feature variants of the unofficial coat of arms.^[9]
