Flags allow us to visually communicate countries and currencies.
Our flag system is designed to be scalable, accessible and simple. Built from the same grid as our icons, they neatly balance reduction and recognition
Maximum simplicity
We’ve boiled every flag down to its most recognisable parts. It means they’ll stay as close as possible to the original design, no matter how small we squeeze them. Isn’t that right, Uganda?
Harmonious
All flags in the set feature a refined palette of just 10 colours, to create visual harmony and consistency.
Circular
In another break from tradition, all flags come in circles. It keeps things clean and consistent.
We've simplified some of our flags more than others. So we have detailed versions of some of our flags, which should be used when scaled above 150 pixels.
Because flags vary in colour, we add borders so they don't bleed into the background when on a white design. Be sure to use Border Neutral around your flags when using them across editorial and product.
Whenever we’re in a position where we can’t use a flag, or we need to deal with multiple countries, we default to our Fast Flag icon.
