Vanuatu Flag

Our Vanuatu flags are made in the United States from nylon. This material is quick-drying and helps prevent mildew growth after rain or high humidity. The design is digitally printed for accuracy and rich, fade-resistant colors, even when flown in direct sunlight.

These flags feature a strong canvas heading and brass grommets for easy mounting on a standard outdoor flagpole. We offer Vanuatu flags in sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’.

Vanuatu Flag Meaning & History

The Vanuatu national flag was adopted on February 18, 1980, shortly before the country’s independence in July. The flag’s colors are based on the flag of the Vanua’aku Pati, the political party that helped the nation gain independence from the British and French.

The red stripe represents blood, which unites all humans, and the green stands for the islands’ environment. The yellow ‘Y’ shape symbolizes the geographic locations of the islands that make up Vanuatu. The yellow color represents Christianity, the nation’s majority religion, while the black outlines are for the native inhabitants of the islands.

Inside the black triangle is a boar’s tusk encircling two namele leaves. The tusk refers to the islands’ culture and symbolizes prosperity. The leaves stand for peace, and the 39 leaflets represent the number of members in the national Parliament when it was first founded.
