Use of the Gabon flag and its history

Discover the history of the colours of the Gabon Republic flag and buy one of our models from our online collection!

The flag of Gabon was adopted on 9th August 1960 on the eve of Gabon's independence. With a proportion of 3/4, it is the civil flag and merchant flag of the Republic of Gabon, which is represented by this symbol according to the grids of the FIAV (Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques).

Originally under the time of French colonization, the Gabon flag displayed the French tricolour flag in its upper left canton. This ground was removed when Gabon became independent. The Gabon tricolour flag has a symbolism relating to the national, regional and political culture of the country. Unlike some border countries such as the Republic of Congo or Cameroon, the Gabon flag does not include the pan-African colours green yellow red.  Today, the interpretation of colours is as follows:

The green colour embodies Gabon's natural resources and in particular the Gabonese equatorial forest, probably the highest biodiversity reserve in the world. This large reservoir of animal and plant biodiversity is also one of the main resources of the country's forest industry. The yellow band corresponds to the sun of Gabon and the parallel of the Equator that crosses the country through and through.  The blue colour is an evocation of the sea and the Atlantic Ocean that borders its entire coastline.
