Flag of Cape Town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Flag of Cape Town is the official flag of the City of Cape Town, South Africa.

The current flag (featuring a silhouette of Table Mountain) replaced the previous flag (which consisted of the Seal of Cape Town on a blue field) in 1996. It was designed by a graphic designer and has not been registered with the South African Bureau of Heraldry.

The design consists of a stylised image of Table Mountain in white on a background of blue in the top left section and green in the top right section. Below the Table Mountain image is a yellow "paint brush" horizontal stripe under which is a red section at the bottom of the flag.

Unusually, the flag is the now main symbol used by the municipality, since no new coat of arms for the city has yet been adopted.
