It represents the experiences made by men and women, the experiences of those who do and live under that flag.” Woodrow Wilson1 “FLAG, n. A colored rag borne above troops and hoisted on forts and ships. It appears to serve the same purpose as certain signs that one sees on vacant lots in London—‘Rubbish may be shot here.’” Ambrose Bierce2 The power of the flag as a national symbol was all too evident in the 1990s: the constitutional debate over flag burning in the United States; the violent removal of the communist seal from the Romanian flag; and the adoption of the former czarist flag by the Russian Federation. In the United States, Texas alone possesses a flag and seal directly descended from revolution and nationhood. The distinctive feature of INSIDE / SOMMAIRE Page both the state flag and seal, the Lone Star, is famous worldwide because of the brief Editor’s Note / Note de la rédaction 2 existence of the Republic of Texas (March 2, 1836, to December 29, 1845).3 For all Solid Vexillology 2 the Lone Star’s fame, however, there is much misinformation about it.

  • Flag of Armenia 1 Flag of Armenia
    Flag of Armenia 1 Flag of Armenia Use National flag. Proportion 1:2 Adopted August 24, 1990 Design A horizontal tricolour of red, blue, and orange The national flag of Armenia, the Armenian Tricolour (known in Armenian as եռագույն, erraguyn), consists of three horizontal bands of equal width, red on the top, blue in the middle, and orange on the bottom. The Armenian Supreme Soviet adopted the current flag on August 24, 1990. On June 15, 2006, the Law on the National Flag of Armenia, governing its usage, was passed by the National Assembly of Armenia. Throughout history, there have been many variations of the Armenian flag. In ancient times, Armenian dynasties were represented by different symbolic animals displayed on their flags.[1] In the twentieth century, various Soviet flags represented the Armenian nation. Symbolism The meanings of the colors have been interpreted in many different ways. For example, red has stood for the blood shed by Armenian soldiers in war, blue for the Armenian sky, and orange represents the fertile lands of Armenia and the workers who work them.[2] The official definition of the colors, as stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, is: All Articles originate from VentiWiki (http://venti.local/trunk/) Flag of Armenia 2 All Articles originate from VentiWiki (http://venti.local/trunk/) Flag of Armenia 3 Design Since the Armenian government does not specify the exact shades of red, blue, and orange, two different versions of the flag are in common use. The more common version consists of brighter shades, whereas the colors of the less common version are more muted.

  • Guidelines for Display of Flags
    Guidelines for Display of Flags This document was developed to offer Organizing Committees of curling competitions and events guidelines for proper display of flags of our Member Associations. Document version and last update: v.3.0, December 2013 General information Some may believe that the matter of displaying flags is simple and well-known. However, as soon as we are talking about the vertical display of flags, exceptions and special rules appear, while information sources are scarce, making the issue complicated. Furthermore, there are countries who use different layouts of their flag for different occasions and uses. The process The present document was developed starting from the horizontal versions of each flag, identifying the appropriate version to be used for sport events (usually, the Civil Flag), then trying to identify rules and exceptions for vertical display. In case no such special rule was present, the generic rule was applied that says: “A flag should be displayed vertically by maintaining its Honor Point (usually, the top-left corner) in the same position (still at the top-left). This means that most flags rotate 90 degrees and are then turned over. The color at the left will become the color at the top” (Graham Bartram – Flags of the World) Exceptions are highlighted under each country. As a general impression, hoisting flags vertically is an area lacking standardization, with history showing many variants for the display for some of the countries. There are IOC guidelines, edition London 2012, using simple rotation as generic rule (no flipping over). For cases where no standardization was found, IOC guidelines are used.
