Artigas

The flag of Department, Uruguay, uses the colors of the José Artigas Flag and its author was the Architect Hugo Ferreira Quirós, winner of the Competition sponsored by the Artigas Administration for its creation.
Composition Rules For the design of the Flag of the Department of Artigas the following rules of Vexilology (Science that studies the conformation of the flags) have been taken into account:
As it is designed to be in constant motion, the design presented is easy to read, simple, symbolic and abstract. Since Vexilology only allows primary, secondary, black and white colors, blue, red and white have been chosen. The climatic variables have been taken into account in the design, in this case the wind, so in its absence the flag will also be identified. This implies that the remarkable and most representative fact of the flag is close to the flagpole, (right flank that is to the left of the spectator) so that when there is no wind it is recognized.Category:Uruguay
