Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, just north of Australia, and many outlying islands. The first inhabitants of the island New Guinea were Papuan, Melanesian, and Negrito tribes, who altogether spoke more than 700 distinct languages.
In 1962 a local flag also incorporated a bird-of-paradise. That original design, used by a sports team, was green and featured a naturalistic bird rendition near the hoist.
The Papua New Guinea flag was adopted on July 1, 1971, and Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia on September 16, 1975. A competition was held to design a flag for the country in 1971. The government approved a design submitted by local art teacher, Susan Karike. It became the national flag upon Papua New Guinea's independence.
Red and black are the colors that represented for many years the Papua New Guinea tribes, and combined with white and yellow, these colors also indicate the symbols of the country (Germany) that put the basis to the first colonies established in this region.
The flag background was changed radically: two colors, red and black, were chosen because they are featured extensively in local art and clothing. The diagonal division gave better balance to the design and made the flag unique. The national parliament recognized the flag on March 11, 1971, and its usage was extended to ships registered in Papua New Guinea when the country became independent on September 16, 1975.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Papua New Guinea 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 flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Papua New Guinean flag for the future.
