Flag of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States
- Flag of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States
The flag and logo of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States consists of a complex pattern of concentric design elements on a pale green field, focused on a circle of nine inwardly pointed orange triangles and nine outwardly pointed white triangles. It was adopted June 21, 2006, and first raised on that day at Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis.
According to an OECD press release:
:The flag has an internal ring which shows the nine elements of the OECS, evolving into nine points of contact, radiating from the core, out into the region and beyond. There is an outer “O” which is for the OECS and which is circled by another ring, representing the world at large. The double ring gives the flag a constant dynamism, indicative of movement and growth.
:The central core of the flag, also carries a resemblance of a blossoming flower, and a tertiary resemblance of science and technology. The colours are fresh and clean, optimistic and bright as a “refreshed Caribbean” moving out to meet new opportunities, while the formal dark blue retains a firm, corporate and establishment influence.
