Introduction
 |
In 2001, the NAVA (Northern American Vexillological Association) asked their members all around the world to give notes to rate each US state, federal district or territory flag, and each Canadian province or territory flag. More than a half of them failed to reach an only standard 5.0 grade. After that, the only state that changed its flag was Georgia, in the last position of that poll (with an unhonored 2.36 grade). More states should follow the example. Find out more at the NAVA website... |
What does "vexillology" mean?"Study of flags", literally. Whitney Smith, co-founder of "scientific" study of flags, created this word in 1957. It comprises the term vexillum, the name of banners carried by Roman soldiers, and logos, which means "knowledge" or "science" in Greek. |
Contests
We're currently collecting proposals for new US state flags and Canadian provinces and territories.
If you want to submit any design (either your own or someone else's), you can join the wiki, or e-mail to vexillologywiki@gmail.com.
If you are submitting someone else's design, remember to give due credit.
