Facts about the flag of Vietnam
Date adopted: 30 November 1955
Symbolism: The red background symbolizes the bloodshed during the struggle for independence, and the yellow star represents the leadership of the Communist Party and the unity of the people.
- Pantone colours: Pantone 186 C, Pantone Yellow C
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag is typically hung with the red field as the background and the yellow five-pointed star centered. When displayed vertically, the star should be oriented so that one point is at the top.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is misorienting the star when the flag is hung vertically, such as rotating the star so that a point is not at the top.
