FIAV

The flag of the International Federation of Vexillological Associations, or the Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques, also called, and most commonly referred to as, FIAV, consists of a blue background with a yellow stylized halyard knot.
==Symbolism==
The halyard knot represents vexillology, since the halyard knot is often used to raise a flag on a flagpole. The blue field and halyards reflect the maritime origins of the earliest flags. The interwoven loops evoke the love-knots familiar to heraldry, symbolizing the bond of friendship among vexillologists worldwide. The loops created by the halyards resemble two hemispheres, and with the four loose ends, they form the number six, representing the six parts of the world. These elements emphasize the international nature of the Federation. Notably, blue is also a common feature in the flags of many international organizations. The halyards stretching across the flag and extending beyond its edges symbolize the vast and almost limitless scope of vexillological studies, spanning both time and space.
