Facts about the flag of Finland
Date adopted: 29 May 1918
Designer: Eero Snellman and Bruno Tuukkanen
Symbolism: The blue cross represents Finland's lakes and sky, while the white background symbolizes snow.
- Pantone colours: Blue 294C, White
- Aspect ratio: 11 : 18
- Hanging protocol: The flag is typically hung vertically with the blue cross shifted towards the hoist side, maintaining the same proportions as the horizontal flag.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to center the cross when hanging the flag vertically, which is incorrect; the cross should remain offset towards the hoist.
