The municipality of Mosteiros, in Fogo Island, Cape Verde, has a
red flag with its logo over all surrounded by
the usual 10 yellow five-pointed stars
(from 8 to 11 o’clock and from 1 to 4
o’clock), by a white scroll reading "Município dos Mosteiros -
Cabo Verde" in black sans-serif capitals (below), and by three overlapping
white ellipses (12 o’clock).

The banner, in small rigid pentagonal hanging form
(galhardete), is quartered green
and red; shown on
line, and also visible
at the Mayor’s
office.

The logo itself is circular and shows a sloped seaside landscape in shades of light blue and greys, with a snow-covered peak and four brown coffee beans at the observer’s right in foreground, stacked 2+2. All items outlined in black.
Since "mosteiros" / "musteru" means "monasteries", this is not a canting logo, as no building is visible on it. Coffee, on the other hand, is the municipality’s major produce.
