The regions of Denmark do not have flags, instead using "logos" as symbols. These are sometimes misattributed as flags, and can be seen flown at times, but this is not the official use of them.
Some areas in Denmark have unofficial flags, listed below. The regional flags of Bornholm and Ærø are known to be in active use. The flags of Vendsyssel (Vendelbrog), the Jutlandic flag ("Den jyske fane"), and the flag of Funen ("Fynbo fanen") are obscure. None of these flags have legal recognition in Denmark, and are officially considered to be "fantasy flags".[4] Denmark reserves official recognition to official flags and regional flags (områdeflag) from other jurisdictions.
