Facts about the flag of Saint Helena
Date adopted: 4 October 1984
Symbolism: The flag includes the Union Jack, representing the island's status as a British Overseas Territory, and the coat of arms of Saint Helena, which features a Saint Helena plover and a three-masted sailing ship.
- Pantone colours: Blue, White, Red, Gold, Black
- Aspect ratio: 1:2
- Hanging protocol: The flag is typically hung with the Union Jack in the upper hoist-side corner and the Saint Helena coat of arms on the fly side, ensuring the Union Jack is always in the top-left when displayed vertically or horizontally.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the coat of arms with other British Overseas Territories' flags or misplacing the coat of arms, leading to incorrect orientation.
