Summary

Description
English: The Seal of The Bronx, comprising the seal of Jonas Bronck, the borough's namesake, superimposed upon the colors of The Bronx flag. The American (golden) eagle sitting atop the hemisphere is believed to be facing east to indicate homage to the Old World, while the banner reads the latin "ne cede malis" meaning "yield not to evil things". Versions of the flag and seal exist with both stripes superimposed on the seal, or otherwise behind a white background. The official art, as illustrated in an annual report of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society contains a white background behind the seal, and an example of this can also be seen in this photo of the Bronx County Courthouse. However the seal by itself often appears with the colors of the flag superimposed on its background, as indicated in the line-art on the stationary of the borough president and "Bronx Borough Day" pins from the early 20th century.}} See also- Flag of the Bronx.
