    22. International Congress of Vexillology FlagBerlin2007 Page 637 Dong Lin: Twenty Principles for the National Flag Design Abstract: The function and property of flag indicate the reasons for deciding the principles of the national flag design. The main functions of flag are ID, signal, symbolic and psychological functions. They require that flag is douce, proportionate, simple and unique: easy to see from a distance and remembered easily. The national flag is a tool for displaying a national logo. The property of tool requires that flag is drawn and used as easily as possible. The national flag also is a national garment The property of garment requires that not only flag indicate a national status, but also enhance the value of appearance, namely the sense of beauty and the sense of art. When the silk flag was invented, it has completed the transformation from a material object to an abstract (symbolizing) object; from a complex object to a simple object. Based on the above analysis, we sum up these twenty principles: 1. Douce; 2. Proportional: 3. Unique; 4. Sample: 5. Clear; 6. Abstract: 7. Symbolic: 8. Subjective: 9. Central: 10. Symmetrical: 11. Balanced: 12. Harmonious: 13. Integrated: 14. Contrasting: 15. Cantabile: 16. Handsome: 17. Smooth; 18. Relaxing: 19. Pleasing: 20. Light. Introduction 1 put forward 35 principles for good flag design in 2006 in my book “How the Design of the National Flag Affects a National Destiny”, which expanded from the national flag section of “Powers’ Constellation” l^l. NAVA defines five principles for designing a good flag: (1) Keep it simple; (2) Use meaningful symbolism; (3) Use 2 — 3 basic colours; (4) No lettering or seals; (5) Be distinctive or be relative.

  • Unity in Flags
    Unity in Flags Ralph G. C. Bartlett Abstract Over the centuries flags have, and are, being used to show unity. This can take the form of unity between peoples, countries, alliances, and organisations. The purpose of this paper is to give a general review of the design development of these “flags of unity”. From their origins in heraldic royal banners, then national flags, born of unification, and on to flags of alliances, liberation, and more recently international co-operation, flags with unity as their central design theme are as varied as the peoples, countries, and groups they represent. Sweden-Norway Union Jack (1814–1905) Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 27 Unity in Flags Over the centuries flags have, and are, being used to show unity. This can take the form of unity between peoples, countries, alliances, and organisations. Some of the earliest forms of such “flags of unity” were heraldic banners representing the unification of regions resulting from military conquests or territorial claims, and via the marriages between royal families and inheritances, especially those that represented the personal union of two countries in the form of a shared monarch. Examples are: • Castile and Leon – united by marriage and conquest1; (Figure 1) • United Kingdom – Scotland and England united by inheritance and Ireland by conquest (Figure 2); and • Austro-Hungarian Empire united by inheritance and expanded by conquest. (Figure 3) Fig. 1 Castile and Leon Fig. 2 U.K. Royal Standard Fig. 3 1867–1918 (1230–1516) (Format since 1837) Austro-Hungarian Standard These and other similar royal heraldic banners, while richly showing the unification of the various territories within their respective realms, were generally not intended for use outside the personal presence of the royal family and the army.
