Theflag of Guyana, known as theGolden Arrowhead, has been thenational flag ofGuyana since May 1966, when the country became independent from theUnited Kingdom. It was designed byWhitney Smith, an Americanvexillologist (though originally without the black and whitefimbriations, which were later additions suggested by theCollege of Arms in the United Kingdom). The proportions of the national flag are 3:5.
During itscolonial period, Guyana's flag was aBlue Ensign with the colonial badge in the fly. An unofficialred version was used at sea.[2] The first flag was introduced in 1875 and was changed slightly in 1906 and 1955.[3] Like all British Ensigns, the colonial flags of Guyana were all ratio 1:2.
The Presidential Standard of Guyana came into effect by Proclamation issued on 23 February 1970. Subsequent Presidents have amended this Proclamation to replace the description of the flag contained, to reflect the Presidential Standard they wish to introduce for the duration of their presidency.
