Thenational flag ofVanuatu (flaeg blong Vanuatu) was adopted on 18 February 1980.[1]

In 1977 a flag of almost the same colours and symbolism as the future national flag was designed by local artist Kalontas Malon and adopted by theVanua'aku Pati. When the party led the New Hebrides to independence as Vanuatu in 1980, the colours of the party flag (red, green, black and yellow) were chosen to be the basis for the national flag on Independence Day, 30 July 1980. A parliamentary committee chose the final design based on submissions from local artists.[1]

Symbolism

[edit]
Tusk andcycad frond detail

The green represents the richness of the islands, the red symbolises blood which unites humanity as humans, and the black theMelanesianni-Vanuatu people.[2] ThePrime Minister of Vanuatu, FatherWalter Lini, requested the inclusion of yellow and blackfimbriations to make the black stand out. The yellow Y-shape (pall) represents the shape of Vanuatu islands on the map and the light ofthe gospel going through the pattern of the islands in thePacific Ocean (approximately 83% of the people of Vanuatu professChristianity).[1][3][4]

The emblem in the black is a boar's tusk—the symbol of customs and tradition but also prosperity. It is worn as a pendant on the islands—along with two leaves of the localnamele tree. These leaves are supposed to be a token of peace, and their 39 leaflets represent the original 39 members of theParliament of Vanuatu.[1]

Construction

[edit]

The government does not publish a formal specification sheet on its website. The construction sheet shown below is based on measurements from the official 2:3 flag image that appears in the State Flag and Armorial Bearings Public Declaration dated March 18, 1980.[5]
