The yellow triangle represents Cyprus, while the Red and blue lines represent both the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot people. The meaning of the overall flag is that both communities come together to forge a common path for the island. The white background represents peace.

An idealistic vision for a situation that I beleive is beyond repair, but here it is anyway...


:lol: :lol: Nice try.

I looks like a map of the london underground. Jubilee line in red and victoria in blue. As for the yellow, well thats just Paddington station :wink:

Any other offers?

Correct me if i am wrong, but i read here somewhere that is was a TC (child?) that won the flag competition? If a child sees it a one cyprus, why hell hell can't everyone else? Just a thought. But nice try though.



Are you refering to the original RoC flag? If so the gentleman in question was an artist/art teacher. I feel proud to have been one of his students.

What date was it designed? Is it the one very similar to the old RoC flag?

I don't know the year that it was designed but if the year of independence was 1960 then my guess would be that the flag was recognised as the flag of Cyprus in that year. I am not sure what you refer to as the old RoC flag ever since I can remember the Cyprus flag has been the same.

if we can find peace and harmony in cyprus im more then happy to have our flag as a donkey, the flag never made any nation on this planet, what makes a nation is what the people think and how they think collectively

Ok. that was the flag designed by Mr Ismet Guney, my teacher. Its unfortunate that his skills in art did not pass on to me. I was more of the musical kind of guy.

I agree with Free Cyprus,

The donkey should be our national symbol. It is like us Cypriots, hard working, stubborn, unique to the island, can live off anything. I like the present flag, but if and when a new one is designed the donkey should be on it.
