What Is the World Flag Chart Website?
Updated
The World Flag Chart (flaglog.com) is a reference site that displays flags from around the world, organized by geographic region. It covers national flags alongside regional, territorial, and cultural flags, and adds short explanatory notes for entries where the status of a flag needs clarification. It is useful if you want to see how a flag is actually used — not just its official design — or if you need to look up flags that rarely appear in standard national-flag lists.
What the site covers
The chart is broader than a typical "flags of the world" page. Alongside sovereign national flags, it includes:
- Regional and territorial flags — for example, Québec, Nunavut, California, Texas, and Alaska in North America; Christmas Island, Cocos Islands, and Norfolk Island in Oceania.
- Cultural and Indigenous flags — such as the Māori, Aboriginal Australians, Sámi-adjacent entries like Acadia and Métis, and a long list of Native American and First Nations flags (Navajo, Cherokee, Haudenosaunee, Oglala Lakota, Tłı̨chǫ, and others).
- Flags of dependent territories and constituent countries — Greenland, Bermuda, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Aruba, Curaçao, and similar entries.
- Unofficial but widely used flags — for example, the popular but unofficial local flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, or the Guadeloupe nationalist flag.
How it is organized
Entries are grouped by broad geographic region, and the page evidence shows this structure clearly:
| Region | Example entries |
|---|---|
| Oceania | Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Samoa, Hawaiʻi, Aotearoa New Zealand, Fiji, Vanuatu, Kiribati, Palau, Guam |
| North America | Canada, Greenland, United States, Bermuda, Québec, Nunavut, California, Texas |
| The Caribbean and South Atlantic | Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Martinique, Aruba, Curaçao, Falkland Islands |
| Latin America | (listed as a following section) |
Within each region, entries are listed in sequence rather than alphabetically, so the chart reads more like a visual wall chart than a searchable database.
The explanatory notes are the distinctive feature
What separates this site from a plain image gallery is the numbered footnotes attached to certain flags. These explain the flag's actual status, which is often more complicated than "official" or "unofficial." Examples drawn from the site:
- Wallis and Futuna: The ʻUvea flag is flown by the kingdom of ʻUvea on Wallis Island and is customarily used to represent the whole territory at diplomatic and sporting events. Within the territory it has equal status with the flags of Alo and Sigave, and all three are flown together at the territorial assembly.
- New Caledonia (Kanaky): The flag is flown alongside the French tricolour as a joint national flag.
- Saint Martin: A "unity flag" represents both the French and Dutch halves of the island as a common cultural flag.
- Anguilla: Two entries appear — the official blue ensign flown by the government, and the unofficial but popular dolphin flag dating back to the island's unrecognized secession in 1967.
- Guadeloupe: An unofficial flag flown by nationalists, with a note that a rarely used heraldic banner based on the coat of arms of Pointe-à-Pitre also exists.
These notes are the main reason to use the site over a generic flag list: they tell you who flies a flag and in what context, which matters when a design is contested, unofficial, or shared between jurisdictions.
When to use it — and when not to
Use it if you:
- Need to see regional, Indigenous, or territorial flags that mainstream references omit.
- Want a quick sense of whether a flag is official, unofficial, or flown in a specific ceremonial context.
- Are browsing visually by region rather than searching for one specific country.
Look elsewhere if you:
- Need precise technical specifications (exact color codes, proportions, construction sheets). The chart is a visual reference, not a vexillological standard document.
- Need historical flag timelines or flag-change dates.
- Need a searchable, filterable database — the page presents flags as a chart, not as a query tool.
Practical notes
The site is published in English (en-CA). The page evidence does not indicate any pricing, account, or login requirement, so it appears to function as an open reference page — but treat that as an observation about what the page shows, not a guarantee about every part of the site. If you need to cite a flag's status, use the footnote text as your starting point and verify against an official territorial or national source, since the notes describe usage conventions rather than legal definitions.
