Title
Flag Proportions: Thoughts on Flag Families and Artistic Unity within Displays of Multiple Flags
Abstract
The proportions of a flag are an integral part of a flag’s design. In some cases, the proportions are the only way to distinguish between otherwise identical flags, such as Monaco (16:21) and Indonesia (2:3). This flag investigates the variations in flag proportions, including the influence of colonial flags on the flags of modern independent nations.
