Guardia Nacional de Venezuela, Bandera de Regimiento y Guarnición. (National Guard of Venezuela; regimental and garrison flag). - A brownish-burgundy field, and, within it, the National Guard's Garrison CoA and the words "National Guard - Venezuela" over and under the CoA. The CoA itself consists of a Venezuelan Tricolori ribbon as a crown for a non-parted shield, embroidered in or and fielded with the very same brownish-burgundy. The symbols within it are an arrow and a spear crossed (symbolising both defense and attack) over a bow which ultimately gives way to a scale, the scale of Justice, as the Guard bears many policial and judicial duties; all this in gold or yellow. Bellow the spear and arrow, a white five-pointed star, symbolising honour, appears.

Guardia Nacional de Venezuela, Bandera de la Comandancia y del
Ceremonial. (National Guard of Venezuela; commander and
ceremonial flag). Same brownish-burgundy, this time with a golden
fringe (I am not sure if this is compulsory, but it is customary).
Within the flag we see the National Guard's CoA (with the words
"Fuerzas Armadas- De Cooperacion" above and under it),
with a small shield depicting the symbols previously mentioned
and explained (this time the tricolori ribbon rests within the
shield, just above the crossed spear and arrow). Ading to this,
and crowning the shield, a set of four turrets, garrison or fort
towers, in gold or yellow and bellow a brownish-burgundy ribbon,
embroidered in gold with the words "Guardia Nacional de
Venezuela" on the first line; and the Guard's motto on the
second one: "El Honor es su Divisa" (Honour is its
badge)...
