Composite Semaphore Flag for the Letter O - Oscar

The Composite Semaphore Flag is light blue since O is the 15th letter of the Alphabet.  Reason being, 5 is coded to blue and the ones digit value sets the background colour.  The red colour is the assigned contrast indicator and the stars indicate the right-starboard side of the Semaphore Signaler.

Happy Pi Day 2017!

Happy Pi Day 2017!  For this day we have two Pi Flags that read a 3.14; one is from the NATO number system the other is from the International Maritime number system. 

By queer coincidence NATO and International Maritime flags use a red, crossed flag for the number: four.  This fateful convergence of math with vexillology allows both Pi flags to be centered on a quartered pie.  For NATO the central element of the number four is sliced at 45 degrees, but for International Maritime the pie is cut at 90 degrees.  

Fun NATO Pi Flag - The 3.14 NATO Flag

NATO Pi Flag - Combined 3.14 Flag

Happy Pi Day!  Once again this magical mathematical ratio of the circle has enchanted students and teachers for decades now.  In honor of this logically illogical holiday we have the NATO Pi Flag.  It is a combination of the official NATO flags for the #3, #1, and #4.

The larger component of the blue, red, blue horizontal tri-bar is the largest, as it represents the whole number three.  Within this flag is a diamond, or rhombus that is the flag for number one, which is like the flag of Spain which is another horizontal tri-bar of red, yellow, red.  Finally in the center is a white X on a red disc that represents the number four.

Like the official NATO flag, the Fun NATO Pi Flag has four compass points, a cicular central point, and navy blue.

Coincidentally the International Maritime Flag for Pi has a red disc with a central quatercrossed design.  Both the Fun International Maritime Pi Flag and the Fun NATO Pi flag have 'four' sliced pizza's in the center, at different angles.

Composite Semaphore Flag for the Letter N - November

The Composite Semaphore Flag for the Letter N is green, since N is the 14th letter in the alphabet.  Four is coded to green and its contrast indicator is yellow.  The stars on the fly side arm indicate the right-starboard arm of the Semaphore Signaler.

Composite Semaphore Flag for the Letter M - Mike

The Composite Semaphore Flag for the letter M has a yellow background since M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.  Three is coded to yellow, with its contrast indicator being blue.  The stars indicate the right-starboard arm of the Semaphore Signaler.

Flag for the East Pole

The East Pole is a natural consequence of the West Pole, since the East Pole is on the opposite side of the West Pole.  As a result, the East Pole is directly underneath Ecuador in Indonesia, Tembilahan.  The East Pole is on the equatorial island of Sumatra.  In the photo to the left, a Sumatran Elephant stands next to the East Pole.

The flag for the East Pole uses the colours: red, orange, yellow, and white.  In the center is the a white sun rising for the beginning of each new day.  Once you have traveled to the East Pole in Indonesia, you can fly this flag.

The rational for the East Pole rests on four legs of logic.  First it is a natural consequence of the West Pole.   Secondly it is in the Eastern Hemisphere.  It resides in East Asia, where each new day begins. Finally Indonesia was once a part of the Rising Sun Empire.

Flag for the West Pole

The West Pole flag is composed of the colours: navy blue, light blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.  It represents the setting sun and points Westward, in the modern map sense.

The West Pole is defined as following: the highest point on the Equator.  Consequently the nation of Ecuador is home to the West Pole.  And it is a pole you can visit on Mt. Cayambe.  This mountain is the highest point on the Equator and is always covered in snow, just like the North Pole and South Pole.

Cayambe as the West Pole make sense since it has three legs of logic to rest upon.  First, it is always covered in snow, as any self-respecting pole point should be.  Second, it is midway between the North Pole and South Pole, on the Equator.  And finally, it is in the Western Hemisphere.
