Panama Flag History And The Flag Company Inc

By Kevin James


The country Panama has a flag that characterizes the political views of the nation. Unlike the others, the Honduran flag was made to represent the countryĆ¢€™s geography and the five stars symbolize the Central American countries that used to be the members of the union. The country that it said to indicate their political status is Panama.

Panama gained independence from Colombia on Nov. 3, 1903, with encouragement and military support from the United States. The U.S. then acquired permission to build the Panama Canal and paid $10 million U.S. and an annual fee of $250 000 per year. The Panama Canal, the land it is built on and the area surrounding it is leased to the U.S. and comes under direct United States control.

The Panamanian flag was designed by Mr. Manuel Amador Jr. and made by his wife Ms. Maria Ossa de Amador.The flag of Panama is sectioned into four quarters. The top left and bottom right quarters are white. The top right section is red and the bottom left is blue. In the top left white section there is a blue, five-point star and in the bottom right white section, there is a red, five-point star.

Before the current flag design, the design proposed was similar to the flag of the USA, with thirteen red and yellow stripes, reflecting the nation's associations with the United States, Spain, and Colombia. In the blue canton in the upper left corner of this design, there were two suns connected in the middle, representing North and South America, to reflect Panama's location as the link between the continents.

The blue represents the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea and red stands for the blood shed for Panama's independence. The blue star represents the civic virtues of purity and honesty and the red star symbolizes the authority of the law. Together they represent loyalty and resilience.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Panama flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flag. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Panamanian flag for the future.
