List of Papua New Guinean flags

This is a list of flags used in Papua New Guinea.

National flag

Flag Date Use Description
1971–present Flag of Papua New Guinea

Divided diagonally from the upper hoist-side corner to the lower fly-side corner: the upper triangle is red with a silhouette of the soaring Raggiana bird-of-paradise in yellow and the lower triangle is black with the Crux of four white larger five-pointed stars and a smaller star. Red and black have long been the colours of Papua New Guinea, the Raggiana bird-of-paradise is the national bird of the country, and the Southern Cross represents its position in the Southern Hemisphere.[1][2][3] The original 1970 proposal by Hal Holman had a mainly negative reception, due to its appearance as that of a "mechanically contrived outcome", thus the alternative proposal attributed to Susan Karike was chosen instead.[4]

1840–Present[nb 1] Union Flag Is flown in the country alongside the National Flag. The British flag is flown to show unity and loyalty to the Crown. When a member of the royal family flies to Papua New Guinea, they are greeted and given royal salute with the British flag of Papua New Guinea
