The flag of Costa Rica has its roots in the same nationalist movements that led to the independence of many other states in Central America, so it bears a natural resemblance to the flags of those nations. It also bears a strong resemblance to the flag of Thailand, but that similarity is only a coincidence. The Costa Rico flag without the emblem was adopted in and is still used as a civil ensign.
The red white and blue colors are for the revolutionary France. This is a flag used at sea and later a flag used by fortresses etc. From this aspects one can understand, that in , when the new flag s of CR were created, they used a differentiation between bandera and pabellon. Since then nothing has changed except for some variations and specifications in the "pabellon".
CR flag laws and decrees seem to jump from one term bandera to the other pabellon without special reason. The official flag site of CR ignores the fact, that the shield is neither on the red cloth nor off-centered to the mast. Possibly as this is regulated not in the flag law but in amendments. Ralf Stelter , 1 Febuary There is a state flag with Coat of Arms which is only for government uses, and a civil ensign which is used on privately owned ships.
The latter is without Coat of Arms, and this flag is used as a civil flag by inhabitants of Costa Rica. Costa Rican flag law does not allow citizens to use any flag, but this law is not strictly followed, it seems. I do not know if anything was changed in the law which dates from , but I do not think so.
The flag with Coat of Arms is strictly for government uses only. This is comparable to other states where are flags with and without Coat of Arms. Also in Germany the flag with Coat of Arms is not allowed to be used by private citizens the fines may be quite high here in Germany, possibly also in Costa Rica and elsewhere.
At the UN the flags flying are usually the state flags, as far as I know. Ralf Stelter , 26 March The colours specification in Album provide approximation for the blue to be quite near what could be called Navy Blue Pantone c , so I used such a shade.
In the description of the Costa Rican flag you say that citizens are not allowed to use the flag. This is not accurate. Costa Ricans display the flag in numerous occasions. The whole country becomes red blue and white.
People on the street paint their faces and wear red t-shirts and even wrap the flag around their head. Quite a sight. David E. Castillo , 9 November The protocol manual for the London Olympics Flags and Anthems Manual London [ loc12 ] provides recommendations for national flag designs. So, while these specs may not be the official, government, version of each flag, they are certainly what the NOC believed the flag to be.
The vertical flag is simply the horizontal version turned 90 degrees clockwise. Ian Sumner , 10 October According WMO page : "At present there is no national or international system of visual storm warning signal in general use in Costa Rica.
