[1] A banner is flown by the departmental council, consisting of the department's coat of arms on a white field with the words "DÉPARTEMENT DE MAYOTTE".

[2][3] The coat of arms of Mayotte were created by Reunion Archives former director Michel Chabin and drawn by Pascale Santerre.

[4] The blue and the red come from the flag of France, with the addition of a yellow shade for the two ylang-ylang flowers.

The coat of arms also displays Mayotte motto, Ra Hachiri, translated from Shimaore as "We are vigilant".

In addition to the main version, colored, there are also two others: one in shades of grey and the other in black and white, to be used if technical constraints arose.
