The Flag

It might seem as an easy task to design a flag, but when it comes down to it, its not only a flag but a symbol that will represent an entire nation! In 1913 a flag committee, appointed by the minister of Iceland, Hannes Hafstein, set fourth suggestions for a new national flag of Iceland, and the result is the flag they still have today.In their report there were also suggestion for the flag designs from the public. These 28 designs suggestions have now been put together in a book and they are for the first time illustrated and shown together!
