The flag is derived from a badge designed by Sir Arthur Grimble in 1931 for the flag of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands British colony and granted in 1937. The new flag, hoisted at independence on July 12, 1979, was based on the coat of arms granted to the islands in 1937. Both the golden frigatebird and the sun were enlarged to occupy more of the top of the flag, and the width of the blue and white wavy bands was reduced.

Whilst it is not possible to control the weather, you can take care of your flag to lengthen its life such as taking it down overnight. The Fanning islands are the most visited as they are home to plenty of lovely and secluded beaches that can only be reached by boat or sea plane. The Kiribati flag is half red (upper half) and half blue (lower half) with 3 white wavy stripes over the blue section. Our flag options cater to various needs, such as exterior flagpoles, sporting events, and indoor displays.

Christmas Island is one of the islands amongst the Line Islands and gained its name following its discovery on Christmas Eve and is considered to be one of the best places in the world for bird watching.
