International Maritime Nautical Flags Expanded 21 to 29

Here are international Maritime flags from 21 to 29. Most of the flags in the twenties are tinged with an element of blue. But the nautical flag for 21 is reflective of 'Blackjack' - which is represented figuratively by an Ace of Spades and Queen of Hearts.

The Maritime flag for Twenty One












The Maritime Flag for Twenty-Two

This flag is loosely based upon the ICS flag for number two, but the colours are reversed and two extra dots are present.







The Maritime Flag for Twenty-Three

Originally France holds the ICS pattern for three, but for twenty-three Russia gets respects, or its Serbia? I guess it's whatever you want.







The Maritime Flag for Twenty-Four

Again this is based on the number fourteen, which is derivative of the ICS flag for four and NATO flag for four.







The Maritime Flag for Twenty-Five


Just as twenty-five has an un-noticed symmetry like 69, this flag is geometrically symmetrical.








The Maritime Flag for Twenty-Six
Can you see the six dots and two halves in the this flag that reflect two and six?









The Maritime Flag for Twenty-Seven
This is based upon NATO's flag for seven but with a Canadian accent, or rather Peruvian. Many nations get accidental representation in the official ICS flag chart which includes Japan, France, Denmark, England, Ukraine, Finland, Scotland, Costa Rica, Poland, Indonesia, Monaco, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. It's only appropriate since Canada is the proverbial 'life-coast guard' of Earth. Canada like the Coast Guard is strong, intelligent, talented, peaceful, mostly friendly, official, and very very helpful.


The Maritime Flag for Twenty-Eight
This is based upon the ICS number two flag but is made up of eight parts: a yellow sun, three yellow stripes, three blue trapezoids, and large blue trapezoid holding the sun.






The Maritime Flag for Twenty-Nine
Since crosses appear so many times its only fair that some other spiritual symbols appear as well in this case a crescent moon and six pointed star.

International Nautical Maritime Number Flags Expanded - 11 to 20

These flags are expanded up to number twenty. Their patterns are based upon the nautical number flags for NATO and the agreed International Code. They combine certain elements between the two numerical systems - some are more NATO than International Code.

The Number 11

All the colours were conserved and the design was altered a bit. ICS number one was reversed and NATO number one was moved to the side.


















The Number 12

The pattern is mostly based on the ICS flag for two while the colous of NATO's number two are conserved as discs.

















The Number 13



The colours are taken directly from NATO's number three but put vertically in honor of ICS's number three, conserving the design of ICS and the blue of its fly.














The Number 14

These two flags already look similar in design and pattern. It is a balanced merge of NATO's number four and ICS's number four flag.
















The Number 15

Again the colours are shared between NATO and ICS for five, thus this is fusion of patterns.

















The Number 16

This was the most difficult to combine, so a new direction was taken while conserving the old. The six dots match up symbolically to make one think six. All colours are conserved as well.

















The Number 17

The number seventeen is a little different. Its pattern is based upon the home state of the first man to walk on the moon - Neil Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong was born in Ohio and it was the seventeenth state in the Union.









The Number 18

This pattern of ICS's number eight dominates while the colours of NATO's number eight make up this fusion flag.


















The Number 19

The essence of ICS's number nine is totally conserved while NATO's number nine's colours and pattern take hold on the fly and hoist.


















The Number 20

ICS's flag for number two combines with NATO's zero flag. The blue dot mirrors the shape of a zero minus the hole. The five pluses also convey a non-zero value, although a zero is used to represent the number twenty.

International Signal Flag for the Golden Ratio - PHI

The flag uses the international maritime signal flags of one and six. Thus up the numerical golden ratio known in mathematics as PHI.

The most important element is the ratio of separation between the two red dots. The ratio of their diameters are equivalent to the ratios A THE LARGER plus b the minor. Likewise the space between them is equal to b the minor, via a square made from A THE LARGER.

International Nautical Singnal Flag for E or Euler's Number

Here is the international Flag for 'e.' 'E' is sort of like Pi as a magic ratio of numbers found in nature.

International Maritime Nautical Flag for Pi or 3.14

Flag for Pi or 3.14 equals this


Pi is the ratio of the Diameter to the Circumference.

Coincidentally this flag is made up of the numerical elements of the international nautical code that are reflective of Pi. The flag is based upon the flag for the number three which looks like a the French Flag for the whole number three. In the center of the white section is a red disc similar to design to the flag for the number one, which looks like the national flag for Japan. Finally within the red disc is white cross on red which represents the number four in interntional flag code - which is also like the flag of Denmark.

It makes both logical and illogical sense that the accepted flags for three, one, and four harmoniously align as a 'Good Flag' to represent Pi - 3.14 and coincidentally combined to show us a circle with a diameter that is accidentally cut into a shape of a four sliced pizza pie.

Also the international nautical flags for one, three, and four naturally express those numerical values. For there is one red dot on the flag for one. Three parts make up the flag for three and four can be found quarters for the flag of four.

It really is dumb luck (or amazing destiny) that any of the international number flags also have circles. Also note that France, Japan, and Denmark are natural international leaders of our free world and when working together, can solve problems on a multilateral front with a more rounded point of view.

I suppose a multilateral team of Korea, England, and the Netherlands would counterbalance the national team of Pi?

International Maritime Nautical Flag for Ten

The Number 10 Flag

It is based upon the combination of the ICS flags for the number one and zero.

The number ten is also hidden in the flag - from any point of view.







How it's put together
based on the ICS flags for one and zero

Flags from Overboard 1987

Overboard is a classic 1980s romantic comedy for all classes of Americans from the middle to the extremely wealthy and the working poor. Starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel, Overboard is the classic trading places movie with a strong stroke of humor and romance. Overboard is another heartwarming Valentines Day Essential, surely a remake is overdue.

Goldie Hawn stars as a snooty, high strung rich multimillion dollar heiress whose country club yacht makes a port of call in the country port of Elk Cove, Oregon for repairs. After a work dispute with a local she falls overboard and ends up with amnesia. She also ends up under the work detail of the carpenter she stiffed 600 dollars and whose tools she destroyed.

Jack of Joanna's Yacht

The jack of the yacht is a typical pennant shape. A red star sits on a white background with one horizontal blue stripe that divides the field at an angle.





City Badge of Elk Cove, Oregon

Elk Cove, Oregon is a fictional town as of 2012. Perhaps one will exist in the near future?









US Coast Guard Flag

The flag of the US Coast Guard makes an appearance, note that it's only flown on 'water' flag which has stripes that go up n' down rather than left to right.






US Flag with Kurt and Goldie
Overboard 1987

The story arc is two parts Cinderella, three cups of Groundhog Day, stirred with a sprinkle of Trading Places bitters, and baked with 1980s humor.

But in this version of America's 1980s Cinderella, a wicked spoiled 'witch' is humbled to find her own inner Cinderella.

The American Flag is a subject in many of Norman Rockwell's paintings. Here they are in various forms, making different statements.

No words about the flags today, just let the pictures do the talking.

South American California Republic Heritage Flag

The South American California Heritage Flag

This Flag is for Californians with a South American Pedigree. From Columbia to Argentina. The Colours stem from several South American Nations. The bear featured is the only native bear to South America the Spectacled Bear.

Its body is facing the opposite direction of the 'normal' California Bear. Likewise the star is upside down, not in dishonor but as a reminder that some Californians come from 'next door down under.' Also since it is a tropical bear species, they don't hibernate.

USA QR-Bar Code Flag

A flag for the silicon age of information tracking. The canton has QR coded icon while the field has the standard and familiar bar code.

California Mekong Republic Flag

The California-Mekong Republic Flag
South East Asian California Heritage Flag

This is another heritage flag for Californians from South East Asia or rather from the Mekong River Valley. This includes the nations of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar. All of these countries are a part of the Mekong Valley and are home to the tropical sun bear.

The sun bear has a uniquely extra long tongue. Besides that, unlike their temperate cousins these bears don't hibernate.








The red California star is replaced with the old older Bruma-Myanmar flag star but central yellow star is coloured yellow in honor of Vietnamese heritage. The stripes along the bottom are patterned after the flag of Thailand but with thinner white lines. Also the colours of Laos and Cambodia are apparent but not explicit.

California Republic Flag with a Chinese Twist

The Chinofornia Republic California Heritage Flag
THE YANG DOMINANT POPULAR FOOTBALL CHINA

Instead of a grizzly bear we have a panda. Likewise the red star has gone yellow in the wake of a Red China Star field.

The origin of Yin and Yang ideas stem from China. Yin and Yang deal with that seemingly almost ever where notion of things popping up in pairs. For example there is male/female, up/down, left/right, charm/strange, sun/moon, electron/positron, etc...

Thus is makes perfect sense that there be two China's perpetually polarized to each other. The other China is an island in the Pacific Ocean - Taiwan, also known as Formosa.

Since it is much smaller than mainland China it gets the more petite red panda instead of the Giant Panda. Biologically speaking according to Fundamental Biologinistas the red panda is not really a panda. However from cultural point of view it is a bona fide panda, period

On a political side note, it was probably a good thing for the United States that continental China went RED in the 1950s.

Otherwise the Chinese Economy would have already overtaken the world and the US with it? Basically Communism slowed down the economic engine of China.

The Red China really was a proverbial blessing in disguise, for the West and United States that is.

Select the language key above. More are certainly soon to come.

Looks like the Star Trek imagineers were right. All we need now is a mini-microchip computer that will fit in the ear canal and tap into the auditory nerve so people can understand each other. Perhaps there won't be a need for Esperanto?

Blue Moon Flag of Tlemcen - Northwestern Algeria

Flag of Tlemcen
Northern Africa - Modern Day Algeria

An appropriate flag for the 'Blue Moon' of 2012 in August. This is a rich part of the Mediterranean world long ignored by Europe and the West.
