Facts about the flag of Zimbabwe
Date adopted: 18 April 1980
Symbolism: The flag features seven horizontal stripes of green, gold, red, and black with a white triangle containing a red five-pointed star and a Zimbabwe Bird. The green represents agriculture, the gold represents the country's mineral wealth, the red symbolizes the blood shed during the struggle for independence, and the black represents the native people of Zimbabwe. The white triangle represents peace, the red star symbolizes internationalism, and the Zimbabwe Bird is a national emblem.
- Pantone colours: Pantone 347 C, Pantone 123 C, Pantone 186 C, Black, White
- Aspect ratio: 1 : 2
- Hanging protocol: The flag is typically hung vertically with the hoist (the side with the black triangle and white star) on the left.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to confuse the order of the stripes or to misplace the Zimbabwe Bird emblem within the red star.
