Whoa!  By sheer cosmic luck the Zip Code Flag for Iowa State University at Ames has flag that matches its state flag, which looks like the flag of France.   Usually Zip Code Flags have five vertical stripes, witch each colour representing a number.  The fat blue stripe under the canton represents the number five.  Since zero and one repeat next to each other the stripes merge to form the pattern.

Zip Code Flag for 40022 - Finchville, Kentucky


Kinda' looks like the flag of Ireland right?  Nope is the Zip Code flag for 40022, which is in Kentucky.  Finchville to be exact.  In this case green represents 4, white represents 0, and orange represents 2.  Usually there are five stripes on a zip code flag.  But since zero and two repeat next to each other the flag gets an odd look.

Zip Code Flag for 90210


Zip Code Flags are based upon the zip code.  Basically the colours represent numbers.  The first part by the flag is the canton and support.  The coloured USPS style eagle with pink support represents the number 9.  The rest of the colours represent the other numbers of 90210.  In our case: white represent "zero"; orange represents "2", and red represents "1". 

Note that zip codes are fluid and do not always congeal with municipality needs, thus many people get their local geography in knot.  Subsequently most people get lost in the double speak of referring to place by its official geographic municipality boundaries and postal routes. 

In any case this the postal zip code flag for 90210.  Note that all of Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington all start with a number 9.  Thus all cantons of these states will be pink.

Blue and White Pennants from Whisper of the Heart 1997 or Mimi o Sumaseba 1995

Kono Eiga wa Ole no Nippon


Anyone who has lived in Japan will recognize that Studio Ghibli captured the essence of life in Japan.  I discovered this movie before the might of that magical mouse.  This post is for all my Kansai Gaidai Homies!

  Dreams really do come true.  Of vexillological note are the white and blue pennants found on an old sailing model vessel.   They can be seen on the tops of the masts.  

Here is the entire panorama you never get to see in the movie.  You're gonna have to slide to left or right to see the entire antique store.   Enjoy!


Sales Banners in Whisper of the Heart 1997

 A 100 yen (about 1 dollar) sale sign can be seen in the background.  It is yellow with red print.
 You can see awning banners in red in front of our heroine.
 Hard to see are the Train banners hanging from the middle of the cart. If you lived in Japan before the "Ketai Denwa" revolution you will recognize this film.
Here a store Keio has a long building banner-flag announcing that shopping is great.

Sales Flags in Whisper of the Heart 1995


Several sales banner/vexilloids appear in Whisper of the Heart or Mimi o Sumaseba 1995.  The largest banner you can see it s long green flag inside of the Family mart.  Additionally in the alleyway is a Ramen Shop head sweep flags, bunting can also be found, likewise some long yellow banners are in back of the bicycles.

Zissou Flag from the movie Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004



The Zissou flag is square shaped.  It is primarily composed of the colours white, blue, yellow, red, and light green.  In the movie it gets altered by Steve Zissou's long lost son who adds four symbols to the corners.

In the upper hoist side is a red letter E with a life preserver.  The E stands for Esteban du Plantier who was Steve's best friend who is attacked by the Jaguar Shark.  Esteban is played by Seymour Cassel.  In the upper fly side is a red letter K with a dolphin.  The K stands for Klas Daimler, the German second in command, who looks deeply up to Steve Zissou played by William Dafoe.  In the lower fly side is a red letter B with an anchor.   And finally in the lower hoist side is the letter N with a octopus.  The N stands for Ned, Steve's long lost son played by Owen Wilson.
  
SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT CLICK VIDEO IF YOU INTEND TO WATCH THE MOVIE

Scuba Diver Pennant from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004


In the film Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004, starring Bill Murray, a diver pennant flag appears.  It is best seen during the hot air balloon scene.

Here Cate Blanchett sits opposite Bill Murray in a balloon connect to ship, on the sea, in the air, with a scuba diver flag in the on its end.

The blue and white scuba flag pennant with a white silhouette of a diver is probably the best type of scuba flag since persons unfamilar with the abstract diver flags of "Alpha" and white striped red flag can easily make sense that this flag is related to scuba diving.
