[re-post] A (proper) Pakistani Flag!

// August 4th, 2009 // No Comments » // default

It’s amazingly awful to see so many different versions of the Pakistani flag that it makes me sick! Sick to the core of my soul that why we do not respect the very flag!??

I have seen many funny versions of different variations like

• Various shades of green (even pink and blue! – for god’s sake!).
• Slogans and other text with/around the crescent and star.
• Different dimensions
• Varied versions of crescent and star

I think there should only be one version that we should be using wherever we use!

Here’s what a PROPER Pakistani flag should be (technically):

“A dark green rectangular flag in the proportion of length and width 3:2 with a white vertical bar at the mast, the green portion bearing a white crescent in the centre and a five-pointed white heraldic star. The size of the white portion being one-fourth the size of the flag, nearest the mast, the remainder three-fourths being dark green. The dimensions of the crescent and star are obtained as follows:

“Draw the diagonal from the top right hand corner to the bottom left corner of the green portion. On this diagonal establish two points ‘A’ and ‘B’. Point ‘A’ at a distance equidistant from top right and bottom left hand corners of the green portion, i.e. the centre of the green portion. Point ‘B’ at a distance from the top right hand corner equal to 13/20th the width of the flag. With centre point ‘A’ and radius 1.1/4th the width of the flag describe a second arc. The enclosures made by these two arcs form the crescent. The dimensions of the five-pointed white heraldic star are determined by drawing a circle 1/10th the width of the flag. The circle surrounds the five points of the heraldic star. The star lies with one point on the diagonal at a point where the larger arc of the crescent, if completed, cuts the diagonal.”

The Interior Ministry of Pakistan provides dimensions for flags in different circumstances:

* For ceremonial occasions. 21′ x 14′, 18′ x 12′, 10′ x 6-2/3′ or 9′ x 6 1/4.
* For use over buildings. 6′ x 4′ or 3′ x 2′.
* For cars 12″ x 8″.
* For tables 10 1/4″ x 8 1/4″.

According to CSS Color Module Level 3 darkgreen code used for HTML/CSS named color has the value

darkgreen
HEX: #006400
RGB: 0,100,0

I’ve uploaded a proper flag in different file formats for ease of use. Feel free to download and re-distribute them:

Q: GREEN or BLACK?

// August 4th, 2009 // No Comments » // default

I asked this within my social network:

Q: Whether to go GREEN and celebrate this day of independence or go BLACK and mourn for the happenings in the country?

And here are a few responses:

Go green… its always a good idea to celebrate the good around you…

Ur Mourning alone wont change things anyhow… so celebrate the good u got!

Go Mixture of Green&Black both,
Celebrate independence & pray for what’s happening in Country

Sir, if u are taking suggestion then I tell u

GREEN DAY…………………………………

Always be optimistic.

These days bring happiness for those who are facing these problems, if they miss these days then there is no hope for them, these days gives them some happiness

So, celebrate Green Day as Independence Day.

HAPPY INDEPENDNCE DAY…..

There’s been enough mourning for things happening around anyway and it’s an agony that whether or not we mouth it, we all know there’s lots more to come. So why not, for a change go green for a day at least.. I say we celebrate and in cool spirits n enjoy till it lasts!

Go black! We don’t have any right to celebrate the independence when we did nothing to deserve it. While our lifestyle may be of an independent nation, our minds are certainly not independent and “azaad” from external influence.

GO BLACK!!

celebrate, and celebrate together, celebration for all, its time to unite, and unity only occurs in celebration.

GREEN because it gives us hope for a better future. And hope prevails all!

Go green AND work on social issues
