California Flag And Its History

By Alexander Black

On June 14, 1846, a small band of settlers marched on the Mexican garrison at Sonoma and took the commandant prisoner. They issued a proclamation which declared California to be a Republic independent of Mexico. This uprising became known as the Bear Flag Revolt (after the hastily-designed flag depicting a grizzly bear and a five pointed star over a red bar and the words "California Republic."

The flag was officially named the state flag in 1911 with its design standardized in 1953. In addition, the 1953 state flag law made the flag’s nickname official by stating that the “Bear Flag is the State Flag of California.”

The California flag depicts a five-pointed star in the upper left corner, a grizzly bear in the center, the words “California Republic” below the bear in gold, sans-serif font, and a red bar stretching along the bottom.

Its leader, Ezekiel Merrit, was described by historian H.H. Bancroft as "an unprincipled, whiskey drinking, quarrelsome fellow." Known as Stuttering Merrit, he was a thief who in 1848 reportedly stole 200 pounds of gold from his business partner.

The bear on California’s flag represents the grizzly bears that were common in California at the time and are much less common today. The bold words “California Republic” were placed to firmly establish California as an independent state apart from Mexico. The red strip along the bottom of the California flag is simply a design element and does not have a specific meaning.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior California flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of California flag for the future.

Arkansas State Flag And Flag Company Inc

By John Abraham

The Arkansas flag was created in 1913 when the Battleship U.S.S. Arkansas was commissioned. The Daughters of the American Revolution discovered that there was no state flag to present to ship with (presenting a flag to ships was traditional). They decided to hold a flag designing competition. Miss Willie Hocker of Wabbaseka designed the winning flag which looked much like the flag we fly today. The original flag was a white diamond on a red field bordered by twenty-five white stars on a blue band.

Three blue stars in a straight line were centered in the diamond. Miss Hocker explained that the three colors (red, white and blue) designated Arkansas as a member of the Union. The diamond shape signified Arkansas as the only state in North America where diamonds had been found and mined. The three stars in the center of the diamond had three meanings.

The flag's colors are the same as the national flag of the United States and represent Arkansas as one of the states in the Union. The 25 white stars signify that Arkansas was the 25th state admitted to the union of the United States.

The diamond represents Arkansas as the first diamond producing a state in the US. The three blue stars together in the diamond have three meanings: They represent the three countries Arkansas has belonged to Spain, France, and the United States.

Because adding the fourth star made the flag look asymmetrical (the bottom three stars were still arranged in a straight line) the legislator also offsets one of the stars at the bottom giving us the flag we fly today.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Arkansas flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers.

Alabama Flag History And Flag Company Inc

By Leo Stark

Alabama, which joined the union as the 22nd state in 1819, is situated in the southern United States and nicknamed the "Heart of Dixie." Europeans came to this place in the sixteenth century. In the nineteenth century, cotton and slave work were vital to Alabama's economy.

The Alabama State Flag was approved by the Alabama Legislature on February 16, 1895. The state banner was to be a blood-red cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars framing the cross were not to be under six inches wide and were toThroughout the years, there has been much theory over the state of the Alabama state banner. Dr. Thomas Owen, chief of the Alabama Department of Archives and History talked with people who had been around at the time that the bill was presented. He inferred that the banner ought to be square, taking into account the "rOn January 11, 1861, the Secession Convention passed a determination assigning a banner composed of Montgomery ladies as the official banner of the tradition.

The Alabama State Flag was endorsed by the Alabama Legislature on February 16, 1895. The state standard was to be a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. Consistently, there has been many hypotheses over the condition of the Alabama state flag. Dr. Thomas Owen, head of the Alabama Department of Archives and History deduced that the flag should be square, considering the "regulations directing the Confederate battle flag."

On January 11, 1861, the Secession Convention passed a determination allocating a flag made by Montgomery women as the official pennant. This flag has consistently been insinuated as the Republic of Alabama Flag. One side of the flag demonstrated the Goddess of Liberty holding in her right hand an unsheathed sword; in the left a flag with one star.

Reminiscent of the Confederate battle flag, it was designated that the crimson bars were not to be less than six inches broad and were to extend diagonally across the flag. Because Act 383 did not specify a particular format, the flag is sometimes depicted as a square and at other times depicted as a rectangle.

Pennsylvania Flag And Its History

By Jack Richmond

The Pennsylvania flag was adopted in the year 1907, by the State General Assembly, when an act describing the proper design of the flag was accepted and standardized.

In 2007, the State House of Representatives passed legislation to add “Pennsylvania” to the bottom of the flag in golden letters. However, as of 2015, the state Senate has taken no action on the bill.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania flag is composed of the state’s coat of arms embroidered in the center of a dark blue background. The Pennsylvania coat of arms depicts two horses with red harnesses, one on either side, standing on their hind legs facing a shield. The shield depicts the strengths of Pennsylvania â€" a ship carrying commerce, a farming plow, and three sheaves of wheat. Perched atop the shield is an eagle. Directly below the shield is an olive branch and a corn stalk crossing limbs. At the bottom of the coat of arms is a banner that reads “Virtue, liberty, Independence” â€" the state’s motto.

The current flag dates from June 13, 1907. Pennsylvania is the second state of the union, gaining statehood on Dec. 12, 1787. It is one of the original 13 colonies that united to form the union of the United States. Pennsylvania's state nickname is the Keystone State.

The coat of arms in the center of the flag symbolizes Pennsylvania’s strengths. It features sheaves of wheat, a farming plow, and a corn stalk â€" all symbolizing agricultural prowess. The ship on the shield symbolizes strong trade in the state while an olive branch below the shield represents peace and prosperity.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Pennsylvania flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers.

The Flag Company Inc And Arizona Flag

By Gary Lock

The origin of the Arizona Flag goes back to the National Rifle Matches held at Camp Perry in 1910. This event happened before Arizona had become an official member of the Union. Every state rifle team carried its individual emblem nor flag. This concept gave birth to an idea in the minds of the Arizona Rifle Team members, who did not possess any flag.

Members of the visiting Arizona Rifle Team noticed that all of the other "state" rifle teams carried flags or emblems. The Arizona team had no such flag or emblem and brought this to the attention of Arizona National Guard Colonel Charles Wilfred Harris, who was serving as the team captain. The team suggested that a flag is created to represent the Arizona Rifle Team at future National Rifle Matches.

The idea for the design of the flag was considered by Colonel Harris and Carl Hayden. Their first requirements for the layout were that it contain real qualities and that its tones should mirror those qualities.

The Arizona Flag measures 6 feet in width and 4 feet in height and is equally divided into 2 halves, with a bright copper colored star, right in the center. There are 13 alternating rays of red and golden yellow from the left to the right on the top half of the flag.

The blue, red, yellow and copper standard was accepted disregarding different differing votes and subsequently Governor Campbell's refusal to sign the bill. Since Arizona is a western part, the beams exhibit a setting sun. The shades of the beams demonstrate red and yellow in the Spanish standards passed on by Coronado when he came to Arizona in 1540. Arizona's main enterprises and attractions are represented in the seal. In the background of the seal is a range of mountains with the sun rising behind the peaks. At the right side of the mountains are a water storage reservoir and a dam, with irrigated fields and orchards. There are cattle grazing on the right, a quartz mill and a miner with a pick and shovel on the left. Above the drawing is the Arizona state motto.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Arizona flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers.

History Of Peru Flag

By Lorra Needle

Peru was once part of the great Incan Empire and later the major vice-royalty of Spanish South America. It was conquered in 1531-1533 by Francisco Pizarro. On July 28, 1821, Peru proclaimed its independence, but the Spanish were not finally defeated until 1824. For a hundred years thereafter, revolutions were frequent; a new war was fought with Spain in 1864-1866, and an unsuccessful war was fought with Chile from 1879 to 1883 (the War of the Pacific).

According to Peruvian writer Abraham Valdelomar, San Martín chose the red and white colors after having witnessed parihuanas -- flamingos with red wings and white chests -- along with the southern coast of Peru. A more prosaic but perhaps more realistic reason behind the color selection would be a mirroring of the former flag of the Viceroyalty of Peru (the Spanish Cross of Burgundy), which featured a red saltire, or diagonal cross, on a white background.

On February 25, 1825, the design now in use was established. The red-white-red vertical stripes from the previous flag were retained, but the sun was replaced by a new coat of arms. Its shield is framed by one wreath (of palm and laurel branches) and surmounted by another.

Another great liberator, Simón Bolívar, introduced a fourth and final design (as used today) on February 25, 1825. This flag used the same vertical triband design as introduced by José Bernardo de Tagle, but with the Peruvian coat of arms replacing the central sun.

The second quartering has a cinchona tree, the bark of which is used to make quinine. Finally, the bottom half of the shield displays a cornucopia from which spill gold and silver coins, symbolic of the nation’s mineral wealth. In addition, the white stripe of the flag is said to represent purity, and the red recalls the blood of patriots. As in a number of other countries, the civil flag flown by private citizens displays only the stripes, the coat of arms being reserved for flags serving official (i.e., government) purposes.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Peru flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags.

The Flag Company Inc And Philippines

By Amanda Smith

There are two theories on the origins of the first Filipinos, the inhabitants of what will later be called the Philippine Islands and eventually the Republic of the Philippines.

The 1898 overthrow of Spanish authority by the United States led Filipinos to believe that their country’s independence, proclaimed on June 12, 1898, was guaranteed. A national flag quite different from the revolutionary banners used a few years before was adopted. At the hoist was a white triangle, symbolic of liberty and probably derived from Masonic symbolism.

It bore a golden sun and three golden stars, standing for the three main areas in the Philippinesâ€"the Luzon group of islands in the north, the Visayan group in the south, and the main southern island of Mindanao. The eight sun rays were for the provinces where the original anti-Spanish revolt had broken out. The remainder of the flag consisted of horizontal stripes of blue (for the willingness to sacrifice oneself for freedom) over red (for courage).

The first republic was finally suppressed by the United States, and its flag was outlawed between 1907 and 1920. In 1936 the new Commonwealth of the Philippines adopted that flag in anticipation of eventual independence. Under Japanese occupation, the Philippine flag was first forbidden and then officially recognized on October 14, 1943, when the Japanese-controlled second republic was proclaimed. Filipinos opposed to Japanese rule displayed the flag with the blue stripe down and the red stripe up (i.e., they hoisted the flag upside down).

The blue stripe symbolizes patriotism and justice. The red represents valor and the blood shed for freedom and independence and the white stands for peace and purity. The white triangle represents equality and the Katipunan nationalist organization. The three stars represent the three main geographical regions of the Philippines: Luzon, Mindanao, and the Visayas. The sun represents independence and its eight rays represent the eight provinces that led the Philippine uprising against Spanish rule.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Philippines flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags.

Poland Flag History And The Flag Company Inc

By Albert Derrick

Poland has had a long and rich history. Over the past thousand years, the country has defended its freedom and sovereignty from foreign aggressions on numerous occasions. Due to country’s geopolitical location between the East and the West, Polish history is marked with wars and uprisings. There was a time when Poland was the largest country in Europe but there was also a stage when it was totally erased from the world map for over a hundred years.

Thanks to the resilience and pride of the people who value freedom above all, Poland has not only managed to overcome troubles but also has been offering its own contribution to European history and culture.

The same pattern was revived after World War I by many Polish nationalist organizations. The red flag with a white eagle was ultimately rejected, however, in favour of a simple horizontal bicolour of white over red adopted on August 1, 1919. The Polish state disappeared from 1939 to 1944 during the Nazi conquest of Europe, but communist-led forces, backed by the Soviet Red Army, returned the white-red flag to Poland. Nevertheless a change was made in the Polish coat of arms: the golden crown that had long appeared on the head of the eagle disappeared.

In the year 1830 to 1831, tricolor cockades which are composed of white, red and blue are worn by soldiers. The red and white combination is also worn by most soldiers. Because of the lack of uniformity on the cockades of Polish soldiers, the white and red combination was finally adopted as their official cockade. This adaptation happened on the 7th day of February 1831.

The flag of Poland consists of two horizontal halves - the top half is white and the bottom half is red. The colors of the Polish flag are based on the colors of the national coat of arms which is a white eagle on a red shield and dates back to 13th century. The red symbolizes the blood shed in the country's fight for independence and the white symbolizes peace. Since 2004, May 2nd is celebrated as Flag Day in Poland but it isn't a public holiday.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Poland flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags.

Rhode Island Flag And Its History

By Garry White

Rhode Island, measuring only about 48 miles long and 37 miles wide, is the smallest of the U.S. states. Despite its small area, Rhode Island, known as the "Ocean State," boasts over 400 miles of coastline. Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams in 1636, who had been banished from the Massachusetts colony for his advocacy of religious tolerance and the separation of church and state.

The Rhode Island state flag displays a yellow anchor encircled by thirteen stars of the same color on a white background, fringed on three sides by yellow. A blue ribbon then sits beneath the anchor which reads ‘Hope.’

The anchor may reference the state’s geographical ties to the sea along with its history of using water for commerce. The word ‘Hope’ on the flag’s ribbon is thought to be linked to the anchor in that it is believed to have come from the biblical phrase ‘Hope we have as an anchor of the soul’.

On February 1, 1882, that flag was replaced by a simpler designâ€"a blue field with a yellow anchor surrounded by a ring of 13 yellow stars, corresponding to the rank of the state among those ratifying the U.S. Constitution. On May 19, 1897, the current flag was substituted.

The white and blue colors were taken from flags carried into battle by Rhode Island soldiers during the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Mexican War. The 13 stars surrounding the anchor represent the 13 original colonies that united to form the union of the United States. The anchor has been linked as a symbol with Rhode Island since the state's foundation and it has been used with the state motto 'Hope' since 1644.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Rhode Island flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers.

The Flag Company Inc And Uruguay Flag

By Whitney James

For much of its early colonial history, when it is known as the Banda Oriental ('east bank' of the Uruguay river), the region of Uruguay functions mainly as an unsettled buffer zone between hostile neighbors - the Portuguese to the north in Brazil, the Spanish to the west and south in Argentina.

As part of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (formed in 1816), the Banda Orientalâ€"which would eventually become the country known as Uruguayâ€"was originally under the blue-white-blue horizontally striped flag raised by General Manuel Belgrano in 1812.

However, like many other Argentine provinces, Uruguay developed a flag of its own. The earliest example, dating from January 13, 1815, had a red horizontal stripe added in the center of each blue stripe. On August 25 of that year, the flag was changed to equal horizontal stripes of blue-white-red.

The flag of Uruguay features nine stripes of alternating white and blue, with white on the top and bottom stripes. In the upper-left corner of the flag, the canton is white with a golden sun, which has sixteen rays of sunshine. The sun, called the Sun of May, is a national symbol of Uruguay, representing the Inca sun god Inti.

The sun emblem is the 'Sun of May'; it is a symbol of freedom and independence. The nine stripes represent the nine provinces of Uruguay, which existed at the time of the flag's creation. The colors of the Uruguay flag were inspired by the flag of Argentina; while the United States national flag influenced the design.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Uruguay flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags.

The Flag Company Inc And Portugal Flag

By Bob Gales

The national flag of Portugal was officially adopted on the 30th day of June 1911. It is known to be a rectangular bicolor, with red and green for its national color combination. The colors are divided unevenly, with red on the fly and green on the hoist. The boundary between the two colors is designed with the Portuguese coat of arms.

The present Portuguese flag (Bandeira Nacional) was adopted in 1911. The flag of Portugal consists of two unequal rectangles of green and red with the yellow Portuguese coat of arms and shield in the center. The red and green colors are associated with the Portuguese Republican Party, which overthrew the monarchy in 1910.

The red section represents the Portuguese revolution of 1910 and the green represents hope. The white shield consists of five blue shields with five white dots. The blue shields represent the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques I, victory over five Moorish kings and the divine assistance he received to do so is represented by the five dots, which symbolize the five wounds of Christ.

Arranged in across the shields represent Christianity. The red border featuring seven castles symbolizes the extension of Portugal's territory to include the Algarve. Behind the arms, there is a navigational instrument, an armillary sphere. It celebrates Prince Henry the Navigator, who initiated the maritime exploration that led to Portugal's one-time colonial empire.

The coat of arms of Portugal, which is imprinted on the place where both colors meet, also symbolizes the bravery of the Portuguese. The coat of arms is composed of a white shield that contains five small blue shields. The blue shields also have dots in them. The white shield is also seen to be a red shield which is surrounded by strips of yellow. It also has seven small yellow castles in it. The five blue shields within the coat of arms of Portugal are known to signify the defeat of five Moorish kings. These kings were conquered by the very first King of Portugal.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Portugal flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons.

Puerto Rico Flag And Its History

By Megan Nills

Puerto Rico is quite commonly known as the 51st state of America although it is actually a commonwealth of the USA and not a state at all. The phrase ‘51st state’ is one that is often heard and refers to areas or locales which have been or are being seriously considered candidates for United States statehood. This has led to some confusion over how many states there really are!

The flag Puerto Rico was adopted on July in the year of 1952. The flag of Puerto Rico is comprised of five alternating white and red stripes, and a blue triangle on the hoist side, with a white star in the center of the triangle.

The flag was soon adopted as a national symbol. In 1898, the flag became the mark of resistance to the US invasion; and in the 1930s it was adopted by the Nationalist Party. When Puerto Rico became a Commonwealth on July 25, 1952, it was officially adopted as the national flag.

The flag of Puerto Rico comprises of five equal horizontal bands of red and white stripes. A blue isosceles triangle then sits on the hoist side bearing a large white five -pointed star.

The white star stands for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico while the three sides of the equilateral triangle together represent the three branches of the Republican government (executive, legislative and judicial branches). The three red stripes symbolize the blood that feeds those parts of the government. The two white stripes symbolizing the rights of man and the freedom of the individual are a perpetual reminder of the need for vigilance of a democratic government is to be preserved.

Romania Flag History Today

By Mark Peterson

Acquired last December 27, 1989, the flag of Romania boasts of its three colors that are incorporated in the flag in equal sizes of vertical stripes. The three vertical stripes include blue (left), red (right), and yellow (middle). These three colors are of great importance in Romania.

The current Romanian flag was adopted on December 27, 1989. A horizontal red, yellow, blue flag was introduced by nationalists in 1848. In 1861, Romania was established when Walachia and Moldavia united. The new Romanian country adopted a red (top), yellow (middle) and blue (bottom) horizontally striped flag.

The revolutions that swept Europe in 1848 first produced the modern Romanian tricolor, blue-yellow-red, although it had horizontal stripes and the inscription “Justice” in Walachian and “Brotherhood” in Moldavian in the center. This flag was used only briefly, but it became the basis for the modern tricolor.

The flag of Romania consists of three equal sized vertical stripes. The left stripe is blue, the middle one yellow and the right stripe is red. The red, yellow and blue stripes represent Moldova and Walachia, the two principalities that united to form Romania in 1859. The colors are found in the coat of arms of these former states.

When a revolution overthrew the communists, their emblem was removed from the flag (it was literally torn from many existing flags, leaving a hole in the center); the constitution, as modified in late December 1989, defined the Romanian tricolor simply as three vertical stripes of blue-yellow-red. The traditional (eagle) coat of arms was reestablished in 1992 but has not officially been added to the flag.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Romania flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags.

How Tim Berners-Lee Made New York Web Design Happen

By Arthur Williams

To say that history is intriguing would be nothing short of an understatement. As a matter of fact, it's one of the few things that people can agree that's interesting, seeing as how it spans numerous industry. New York web design is no different, especially since there's ample information regarding how websites first came into being. For those who are curious about his story, it's worth learning about the efforts of a man named Tim Berners-Lee.

For those who do not know, Tim Berners-Lee is credited for being the creator of the World Wide Web. He was born in London, England during 1955 and his background in computers was apparent. His parents actually worked with computers to great lengths. Berners-Lee studied at the Queen's College in Oxford, which he graduated from. After that point, he would get involved in a lengthy career that would have its ties to New York web design companies.

A couple of years before the first website went live in 1991, Berners-Lee proposed the idea of a network. What it would do is connect all computers to one another so that information could be exchanged. The website in question was made by Berners-Lee on a NeXT computer, which is extremely primitive compared to the technology that we enjoy now. What you may not know, though, is that the aforementioned computer came from the company headed by Steve Jobs, who many of us now associate with Apple.

While it might go without saying, the first website that was made wasn't exactly intricate. As a matter of fact - and any Internet marketing company will be able to agree - it was designed to be more informational. It didn't feature any photos or videos, but instead text and hyperlinks detailing information found on the World Wide Web. As a result, it was rather simplified. However, this idea of simplicity seemed to have carried over into the modern-day efforts of web design authorities like Avatar New York.

This is just a general overview of Tim Berners-Lee and the work that he was able to accomplish. Web designers should recognize the work in question, seeing as how his creation of the World Wide Web has allowed them to find work in their industry. Another thing to know about Berners-Lee is that, in 2004, he was knighted because of his past accomplishments. It's a great honor that few have had bestowed upon them.
