The official flag of NationalAnthems.us:

NationalAnthems.us Flag

This flag was designed by Eric Soong of Hebei, China, a member of the forum.

History:

The flag was officially adopted on February 24, 2005, after being voted on by the forum's members. The current design is a variant of Eric's original design. There were multiple other designs suggested by the forum's members, but only two were selected for the final candidates. The final result of the vote was: 11 votes for Eric's flag, 6 votes for Vexillus's flag. To see some of the other suggestions for the design, look at the original discussion about the flag.

Symbolism:

Eric's idea for the design came from the navy signal book. The arrangement of white squares on blue means "N" and the areas circled in red mean "A" ("NA" - short for "National Anthems").

The eight squares which comprise the note signify the eight main boards of the forum. And it has four squares in it. They signify the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic Oceans. The green segment signifies the color of the forum. While the symbolism in Eric's second design is not as easy to comprehend as the first design, this flag has a much more distinctive look, and fits better with the website. Thanks to Eric Soong for a great design!abeam-correlative
