Facts about the flag of Iraq
Date adopted: 22 January 2008
Symbolism: The flag of Iraq consists of three horizontal stripes of red, white, and black, with the Takbir (Allahu Akbar) in green Kufic script in the center. The colors are traditional Pan-Arab colors, symbolizing Arab unity and independence.
- Pantone colours: Red, White, Black, Green
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 1
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Iraq is typically hung horizontally with the red stripe on top, white in the middle, and black at the bottom, with the green Arabic script centered in the white stripe.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is misplacing or miswriting the green Arabic script (the Takbir), or reversing the order of the horizontal stripes.
