Generic Description:
The logo is a four-cornered shield with a curve at the bottom that points downwards. At the top is a gold text that says "JAMAICA" which is the name of the country itself. Below it, there are vertical lines in different colors: black-green-yellow-black-green-black-yellow. The fifth vertical line in green is made twice as wide as the other vertical lines. Each line is separated by a gold vertical line. The black text zone and the vertical line zone are separated by one gold horizontal line. The logo itself has a gold border.
The shape of the logo shield was actually inspired by the gate at an iconic place called the Bob Marley Museum. The Bob Marley Museum is a museum and tourist attraction in Kingston, Jamaica, dedicated to reggae musician Bob Marley. The museum is located at 56 Hope Road, Kingston, and is the former home of Bob Marley. It is home to the reggae record label Tuff Gong founded by The Wailers in 1970. In 1976, it was the site of a failed assassination attempt on Bob Marley. It was converted into a museum in 1986 by his wife, Rita Marley after his death.
The vertical stripes at the bottom were actually inspired by the Jamaican national team logo used in 1991-1993. The Jamaican national team won the Caribbean Cup after defeating Trinidad and Tobago 2-0 in Kingston, Jamaica, on June 2, 1991. This achievement was the first achievement achieved by the Jamaican national team.
