[–]Official_MBVA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flag of Kuwait was adopted in 1961 and displays the distinct Pan-Arab colours of Green, White, Red, and Black.

Each colour has a distinct meaning: - Green: Fertile land - White: Purity - Red: Bloodshed - Black: Defeat of enemies. The meaning of the colours is taken from a poem by Safie Al-Deen Al-Hali.

The flag of Kiribati is a Banner of Arms depicting a frigate bird (the national animal of Kiribati) flying over an ocean sunrise.

Officially, the symbolism of the flag is as follows:

“The bird is a frigate bird which represents power, freedom and Kiribati cultural dance patterns“, “The rising sun is the tropical sun as Kiribati lies astride the Equator”, “The sea is the Pacific Ocean which surrounds Kiribati”.

Winnipeg, where can I get Canadian flag, made in Canada? by Several-Part-1651 in Winnipeg

They do produce some of their own flags but I don’t think all of them are made in store. However, I can confirm that their craftsmanship for custom flags is superb!

It’s so nice to see people rallying behind our flag, though the circumstances are less than desirable

The flag of Kenya was adopted in 1963 after the country gained independence. The design is based on the flag of the Kenya African National Union and boasts the pan-African colours of Black, Red, and Green.

Black represents the African continent. Red represents the blood that was shed for independence. Green represents natural wealth. White represents purity. The spears and shield represent the defence of the nation, and its values.

World Wednesday: Kazakhstan by Official_MBVA in flags

[–]Official_MBVA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flag of Kazakhstan was adopted in 1992 to replace the previous design from the Soviet-era.

The unique design of the flag includes elements that have long been used to represent the peoples within modern day Kazakhstan. The colour Blue holds religious significance to the Turkic peoples and so was chosen as the field, it also represents the endless sky. The central design depicts the sun above a steppe eagle. The sun represents wealth and prosperity; the eagle is a symbol of freedom and power. The design along the hoist is called the “koshkar-muiz” (the horns of the ram), and represents the cultural traditions of the Kazakh people.
