Geographic Salt Lake City Flag

The Geographic Salt Lake City flag has a field of red.  Usually Geographic flags are composed of tribars with each bar coded to color and number.  Since red is the first color of the rainbow it represents the number 1.

Since Salt Lake City sits at 111 Degrees West.  The field is completely red!  The central white pentagon also indicates that this is a western line of longitude.  Otherwise it would be yellow to indicate an eastern line of longitude.

The two stars show us the latitude, which is 40 degrees.  Since green is the 4th colour of the rainbow, the dominant star is green.

Geographic Frankfort, Kentucky Flag

The Geographic Frankfort flag is a tribar of white, black, and green which represent the longitude.  The colours are coded to numbers, based upon the order of the rainbow.  Here white, black, and green represent the numbers 084, which is 84 Degrees West.  A Western longitude is indicated by the white pentagon in the center, otherwise if it is yellow then it is East. 

The central stars of yellow and black represent 38, which references 38 Degrees North.  Since the dominant yellow star is pointing up, it indicates the Northern Hemisphere.  Otherwise a downward dominant star would indicate the Southern Hemisphere.

Geographic Olympia, Washington State Flag

Perhaps the best place in the United States to watch the Olympics is at Olympia, Washington State - the state capitol.  There also Washington DC, but this is Washing CS.  The CS standing for Corner State, while the DC stands for District of Columbia.

The colours of Geographic flag are coded to numbers.  The order is based upon the order of a rainbow.  Red is 1, since it is the first colour; orange is 2 since it is the second colour; green is 4 since it is the fourth colour, and violet is 7; since it is the seventh colour. 

The field reads as 122 Degrees (Red-Orange-Orange), while the star reads as 47 Degrees (Green-Violet).  The central white pentagon indicates it is in the Western Hemisphere.  The dominant green star pointing upwards indicates that it is in the Northern Hemisphere.  Thus this flag reads as 122 Degrees West by 47 Degrees North, got it?

Geographic Flag for Midway Atoll

The Midway Atoll Geographic flag has its colors coded to numbers.  The order of colors to numbers are based upon the rainbow.  Red is one, since it's the first color of the rainbow.  Orange is two, since it is the second color of the rainbow.  Purple is seven, since it is the seventh color of the rainbow. 

The field of one red to two purples makes it 177 Degrees.  The central white pentagon indicates that it is in the Western Hemisphere. 

The two 5 pointed stars indicate the latitude.  In this case it represent 28 Degrees North.  The dominant orange star, pointing up indicates 20 and the northern hemisphere since it is pointing up.  The lesser black star indicates 8.  When you add 20 to 8 you get 28 Degrees, which is that latitude of Midway.

Geographic Palmya Atoll Flag

The Geographic Palmyra Atoll flag is a tribar of red, indigo, and orange.  Each color is coded to a number that is reflective of longitude and latitude.  The code is based upon the rainbow.  Since red is the first color of the rainbow, it is number 1.  Orange is the second color of the rainbow, so it is number 2.  Finally indigo is the sixth color of the rainbow, thus it is assigned as 6.

The central stars related to latitude.  The dominant star is the 10s number while the background star is 1s number of latitude.

Geographic Swians Island Flag

The Geographic Swains Island flag is a tribar of red, purple, red.  Geographic flags of this nature have their colors coded to numbers.  The order of color to number is based upon the pattern of the rainbow.  Since red is the first color of the rainbow, it represents the number 1.  Likewise purple is the seventh color of the rainbow, so it represents the number 7.   Thus 171 represents 171 Degrees West.  The "West" is indicated by the white pentagon in the center, otherwise a yellow colored pentagon would indicate the Eastern Hemisphere.

There are two 5 pointed stars in the center that correspond to latitude. In this case 11 Degrees South is discerned view the two red stars.  Also the dominant red colored downward star indicates that this is a southern parallel.

Geographic Flag for Wake Island

 

The geographic Wake has a "tri-bar" of red and indigo.  The colors are coded to numbers with the rainbow.  Since red is the first color. it represents 1and  indigo is the sixth color, it represents 6.  But...since 6 is repeated this flag has an indigo field with one star on it. 166 is a reference to 166 Degrees East.  Likewise the yellow pentagon indicates that this is the Eastern Hemisphere. 

The two 5 pointed stars in opposition relate to latitude.  In this case the colors are coded to 19, for 19 Degrees North.  Since the dominant front star is pointing upwards, this indicates a northern parallel.  Also note that pink is coded to 9.

Wake Island already has a semi-official flag that, but this flag is a scientific, objective, and vexillologically speaking...a "Good Flag."  It is a flag that is easy on the eyes and gives information: latitude and longitude.
