As minhas bandeiras preferidas

E uma lista das minhas 18 bandeiras preferidas dos países do mundo, com imagens, descrições e comentários! Da 18ª para a 1ª...aqui fica:

18 - Morocco

red with a green pentacle (five-pointed, linear star) known as Sulayman's (Solomon's) seal in the center of the flag; red and green are traditional colors in Arab flags, although the use of red is more commonly associated with the Arab states of the Persian gulf; design dates to 1912



Gosto da estrela lá no meio. É gira.

17 - Lebanon

three horizontal bands consisting of red (top), white (middle, double width), and red (bottom) with a green cedar tree centered in the white band



Aquilo provavelmente não é uma arvore de natal, mas gosto da bandeira na mesma.

16 - Libya

plain green; green is the traditional color of Islam (the state religion)



Na Libia foram muito práticos!

15 - Cambodia

three horizontal bands of blue (top), red (double width), and blue with a white three-towered temple representing Angkor Wat outlined in black in the center of the red band; only national flag to incorporate a building in its design



Seduziu-me o facto de ser "a unica bandeira nacional a incorporar um edificio no seu design".

14 - Georgia

white rectangle, in its central portion a red cross connecting all four sides of the flag; in each of the four corners is a small red bolnur-katskhuri cross; the five-cross flag appears to date back to the 14th century



Não gosto muito da escolha de cores, mas agrada-me que seja toda simétrica e tal.

13 - Belarus

red horizontal band (top) and green horizontal band one-half the width of the red band; a white vertical stripe on the hoist side bears Belarusian national ornamention in red



E se a bandeira portuguesa tivesse um xaile de lado?... Ficaria parecida com esta!

12 - Somalia

light blue with a large white five-pointed star in the center; blue field influenced by the flag of the UN



Azul bebé. Estrela branca. Ah. Eu gosto!

11 - Macedonia

a yellow sun with eight broadening rays extending to the edges of the red field



Gosto dos raios do sol. Amarelo e vermelho combinam bem.

10 - Barbados

three equal vertical bands of blue (hoist side), gold, and blue with the head of a black trident centered on the gold band; the trident head represents independence and a break with the past (the colonial coat of arms contained a complete trident)



Gosto do tridente.

9 - Brunei

yellow with two diagonal bands of white (top, almost double width) and black starting from the upper hoist side; the national emblem in red is superimposed at the center; the emblem includes a swallow-tailed flag on top of a winged column within an upturned crescent above a scroll and flanked by two upraised hands



Curti as mãos. E o facto das riscas estarem meio deslocadas.


8 - Kyrgiztan

red field with a yellow sun in the center having 40 rays representing the 40 Kyrgyz tribes; on the obverse side the rays run counterclockwise, on the reverse, clockwise; in the center of the sun is a red ring crossed by two sets of three lines, a stylized representation of the roof of the traditional Kyrgyz yurt



Deve dar uma trabalheira desenhar os 40 raios à mão!

7 - Bosnia and Herzegovina


a wide medium blue vertical band on the fly side with a yellow isosceles triangle abutting the band and the top of the flag; the remainder of the flag is medium blue with seven full five-pointed white stars and two half stars top and bottom along the hypotenuse of the triangle




Parece que as estrelas continuam infinitamente... é bonito!


6 - Kazakhstan


sky blue background representing the endless sky and a gold sun with 32 rays soaring above a golden steppe eagle in the center; on the hoist side is a "national ornamentation" in gold




Gosto da combinação de cores e do ornamento lateral. E de dizer "endless sky" na descrição.

5 - Zambia


green with a panel of three vertical bands of red (hoist side), black, and orange below a soaring orange eagle, on the outer edge of the flag




Deram pouco espaço à aguia para aterrar!

4 - Nepal

red with a blue border around the unique shape of two overlapping right triangles; the smaller, upper triangle bears a white stylized moon and the larger, lower triangle bears a white 12-pointed sun



No Nepal poupou-se no tecido!

3 - Kiribati

the upper half is red with a yellow frigate bird flying over a yellow rising sun, and the lower half is blue with three horizontal wavy white stripes to represent the ocean



Sol, mar ondulado. Dá logo para perceber que deve ser um bom sitio para ir de férias...


2 - Sri Lanka

yellow with two panels; the smaller hoist-side panel has two equal vertical bands of green (hoist side) and orange; the other panel is a large dark red rectangle with a yellow lion holding a sword, and there is a yellow bo leaf in each corner; the yellow field appears as a border around the entire flag and extends between the two panels



Gosto desta. Muito. Mas não sei como o explicar.

1 - Bhutan

divided diagonally from the lower hoist side corner; the upper triangle is yellow and the lower triangle is orange; centered along the dividing line is a large black and white dragon facing away from the hoist side



Amarelo e laranja?... parece que fui eu que escolhi as cores. Um dragão?.. ah! Bela!

As bandeiras foram escolhidas com base nestas:

Se as imagens não aparecerem, a culpa é do site da cia. Mas eu confio que apareçam sempre.

Não considerei bandeiras de ilhas e territórios pertencentes a frança, reino unido, china, etc.

Não aprovo, nem condeno os regimes politicos em vigor nos países escolhidos. As bandeiras foram escolhidas com base em critérios estéticos.

  1. Brunei e Sri Lanka são as minhas favoritas neste lote, mas acho que a bandeira argentina merecia uma mençãozita...
