Noticeable on the uniforms and caps of immigration officials working at Tehran's airport passport control, is the former coat-of-arms of Iran used during Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's reign. After the 1979 revolution, the coat of arm featuring a lion holding a sword surrounded by olive leaves and a crown (symbolizing the Shah) above the lion was immediately replaced by the new theocratic government with a Persian-inspired script symbolizing "Allah" ("God"). The new coat of arms (which appears in the center of Iran's flag today) contains no imagery or symbols relating to the Shah and the Pahlavi dynasty.
