United Nations Flag Meaning & History
The design of the UN flag originated in 1945 when a United Nations Conference in California decided to give all participating delegates a lapel pin. It originally placed North America in the center of the map, which was changed to the North Pole in 1946. A flag featuring this emblem was officially adopted on October 20, 1947.
The flag of the UN is colored light blue as a contrast to red, the color of war. The map in the center depicts all landmasses and countries of the world, except for Antarctica. It is surrounded by two olive branches, which represent peace.
