Facts about the flag of Malta
Date adopted: 21 September 1964
Symbolism: The flag of Malta features a white field on the hoist side and a red field on the fly side, with the George Cross edged in red in the canton of the white field. The George Cross was awarded to Malta by King George VI in 1942 for the country's bravery during World War II.
- Pantone colours: White, Red
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Malta is typically hung vertically with the white stripe on the left and the red stripe on the right, ensuring the George Cross in the upper hoist corner remains visible and upright.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to reverse the colors, displaying red on the left and white on the right, or to display the George Cross upside down or missing.
