University Flag by Joshep
Although, the university flag is a more recent phenomenon, people have used flags for over 4,000 years. Authentic flag design of ancient peoples includes a metal flag from Iran, ca. 3000 BC, and reconstructions of vexilloids shown on ancient Greek coins, Egyptian tomb carvings, etc.
The first type of flag was called a vexilloid. Vexillology is the scientific study of flags. This word comes from a Latin word which means “guide”. First flags or vexilloids were metal or wooden poles with carvings on top. About 2,000 years ago, pieces of fabric or material were added to some vexilloids for decoration. These looked more like the university flag we know today.
A university flag is a piece of colored fabric or material that is used as a symbol, or for sending a signal. Some flags are used only for decoration. Usually, a university flag is a message from a person or a group of people.
People use flags to give others information, such as, who they are. Long ago, knights carried flags into battle because it was hard to know who the knights were when they were dressed up and covered in armor ready for battle! Flags were important because they helped soldiers tell their friends from their enemies in battle, a university flag is similarly used to draw battle lines between schools.
Today, every college in the world has a University Flag. Every state in the United States has a flag, too. Flags are used to give information, signals or stand for special symbols or things. Many organizations or groups like the Girl Scouts or the United Nations have flags. A university flag sports the schools mascot or emblem. The five circles of the Olympic flag represent the coming together of people from five continents in friendly competition. Peace is the message of the olive branches cradling the world in the flag of the United Nations.
A university flag comes in many different sizes, shapes and colors. They can be used for important events, or to represent something special or give a special message. Sometimes an interesting decoration at the tip of the flag pole is added. This is called a finial.
People who design flags have an important job. They must get their message and information on the university flag without using many words or pictures. The pictures and colors on a flag symbolize something important. University flag designers used to make sketches with pencils and paints, now they use computers to help them design a university flag.
A university flag has the same basic patterns such as stripes, both horizontal and vertical, and stars. A university flag can be divided into quarters and some are given a border. Colors on a flag are important.
Years ago, a university flag was made by hand by sewing pieces of fabric together or embroidered with yarn or painted. Today, flags are usually printed in long rolls of fabric which are run through a machine which prints a pattern over and over again on the fabric. Then the fabric is washed, dried and then cut into a separate university flag.
