The World Flag
The World Flag was created to raise global awareness of the common challenges facing the world today. As a unifying, global symbol the World Flag inspires action and support for the people and organizations pursuing the most cutting edge solutions available.Created in 1988 by Paul Carroll, the World Flag is a powerful global image meant to resonate with the people of the world. The design of the World Flag has in the center an image of the world surrounded by 216 flags. They include every national flag, the flag of the United Nations and some flags of territories dependent in one way or other on larger countries. Because of their inherent symbolic, nationalistic, and subconscious power, individual flags offered inherent possibilities for Carroll’s vision. He wrote, “Moving individual flags into the global realm—transcending borders, race, and religions—creates unique impact from micro to macro and back.” He anticipated a quote from the New Scientist, 5 December 2007: “The power of symbols to both inspire and unite people finds it’s most relevant and meaningful perfection in the national flags and banners of the world.”
