ASEAN flag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The current Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) flag was adopted in November 1993. Set upon a blue background, ten paddy or rice stalks are drawn in the middle of a red circle. The stalks symbolize ASEAN's ten members.

ASEAN's previous flag was similar to the current one - it had six paddy stalks representing the five founding members and Brunei and the word ASEAN written under the stalks. The background was white instead of blue, the border of the circle along with the word ASEAN was turquoise, and the circle was bright yellow. The stalks themselves were brownish in color.
