Facts about the flag of Malawi
Date adopted: 6 July 1964
Designer: Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda
Symbolism: The flag of Malawi consists of three horizontal stripes of black, red, and green with a red rising sun in the black stripe. The black stripe represents the people of Africa, the red represents the blood of martyrs for African freedom, and the green represents the country's vegetation. The rising sun symbolizes the dawn of hope and freedom for the continent of Africa.
- Pantone colours: Black, Red 032 C, Green
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Malawi is typically hung with the black stripe on top, the red stripe in the middle, and the green stripe at the bottom, with the rising red sun centered on the black stripe.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is reversing the order of the stripes or misplacing the sun emblem, which can lead to incorrect representation of the flag.
