Friday, March 20, 2015
For centuries, flags have been used as directional guides and modes of identification especially in maritime travel. Before the 1700s, world flags were used widely by ships and merchant vessels. These were important for sailors so that they can easily identify whether an incoming ship is friendly or not. People did not use to decorate the front of their homes and offices with a flag. However, the practice became much more common through the years and you will find more of these in residential places.
The Danneborg of Denmark is one of the oldest flags in the world that is still seen today. The flag actually dates back to the 13th century.
Nepal is one of the few countries that features a flag without a classic rectangular shape. There are actually other places that do not follow a rectangular figure such as the flag of Ohio and Tampa in Florida. The flag of Nepal looks like a couple of triangles placed over each other. When you go to different countries, you will notice how some flags feature unique symbols, colors and designs. Although these are effective in grabbing attention, the design is usually inspired by the background of the place. Promotional flags are made to draw attention and invite more new customers to an establishment.
The Brazilian flag is the biggest world flag, which has been waving since the 1960s. The flag is about 8,740 square feet. There are also 17-foot models that are more frequently seen at residential and commercial areas.
