Facts about the flag of Faeroe Islands
Date adopted: 25 April 1940
Designer: Jens Oliver Lisberg
Symbolism: The flag features a Nordic cross, symbolizing Christianity, with colors representing the sea (blue), the land (white), and the blood of the people (red).
- Pantone colours: White, Blue 286 C, Red 186 C
- Aspect ratio: 8 : 11
- Hanging protocol: The flag of the Faeroe Islands is typically hung with the red cross outlined in blue centered on a white field, with the vertical part of the cross shifted towards the hoist side, similar to other Nordic flags.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to center the cross instead of offsetting it towards the hoist, which deviates from the traditional Nordic cross design.
