DesignThe National Symbols Sub-Committee received 870 entries for the national flag. Six designs were short-listed; this was reduced to three, those of three Namibians - Theo Jankowski of Rehoboth, Don Stevenson of Windhoek and Ortrud Clay of Lüderitz. These three designs were combined to form the Namibia national flag, adopted unanimously on 2 February 1990 by the Constituent Assembly. The three designers were publicly acknowledged by judge Hans Berker, the chairman of the subcommittee, at the unveiling ceremony on 9 March 1990.[1] However, two other claims were made - South African Frederick Brownell claimed that he had designed the flag in his role as South African State Herald.[2] The other claimant was Briton Roy Allen who claimed that the flag design was the result of a competition run by Hannes Smith of the Windhoek Observer, and that he had won.[3] SymbolismThe chairman explained the symbolism of the flag's colours as follows:[2]
The golden-yellow sun represents life and energy. DescriptionThe flag has a white-edged red diagonal band radiating diagonally from the lower hoist-side corner. The upper triangle is blue with a gold sun with 12 triangular rays and the lower triangle is green.
