Facts about the flag of Cabo Verde
Date adopted: 22 September 1992
Symbolism: The ten yellow stars on the flag represent the ten islands of Cabo Verde. The blue symbolizes the ocean and the sky, while the circle of stars represents the unity of the nation. The red and white stripes symbolize the road to the construction of the nation, with red representing effort and white representing peace.
- Pantone colours: Blue, White, Red, Yellow
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Cabo Verde is typically hung horizontally with the blue field on top, the horizontal stripes running left to right, and the circle of ten yellow stars centered on the red stripe.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the order and colors of the horizontal stripes or misplacing the circle of stars, which should be centered on the red stripe and not on the blue field.
