Facts about the flag of Angola
Date adopted: 11 November 1975
Symbolism: The red half symbolizes the blood shed during Angola's independence struggle, while the black half represents Africa. The emblem in the center, consisting of a half gear wheel crossed by a machete and crowned with a star, symbolizes industrial and agricultural workers and the progress of the country.
- Pantone colours: Red, Black, Gold
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Angola is typically hung with the red stripe on top and the black stripe on the bottom, with the emblem (a yellow half gear wheel crossed by a machete and crowned with a star) centered and upright.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to invert the colors, placing black on top and red on the bottom, or misorienting the emblem, which should always be upright and centered.
