The main FIAV flag: a dark blue with a gold knot design The main FIAV flag is normally seen as a dress flag with a gold fringe, although we hope to have it as a normal flag for use at the York Congress in 2001.
The officers' flags were approved at the recent Victoria Congress and were designed by Wiliam Crampton, while he was President of FIAV. Michel Lupant discovered the designs while going through some of William's paperwork for FIAV. The Flag Shop in Victoria very kindly made up examples of the officers' flags. They are about 12" x 8" and sat in front of the officers at the Congress. The FIAV flag was introduced at the Second International Congress of Vexillology in 1967.
