What is Vexillogasm?
Vexillogasm is a flag encyclopedia. Every national flag has a story - the colours chosen, the symbols placed, the history behind them. You will find detailed flag histories, colour breakdowns, design meanings and high-quality SVG images for every country.
Browse flags by region, search by colour, compare two flags side by side, or test yourself with quizzes sorted by continent. If you study vexillology or just want to know why Nepal's flag has two triangles, you are in the right place.
