European FlagsThe flag of the European Union is twelve gold stars arranged in a perfect circle on a blue background. Each of the five-point stars are positioned point-up and are placed according to the hands of the clock on a 2:3 proportioned rectangular background.
When a council was formed in 1950 to choose a design for a European flag, there were many designs submitted by a variety of different individuals. Rejected designs included an emblem sporting a large white “E” on a blue background and one with a red cross positioned in a yellow circle which was centered on a blue background.
The final decision came down to a flag displaying a blue background with a constellation of stars designed by Salvador de Madariaga, or an emblem with fifteen gold stars in a circle backed with blue, created by Arsene Heitz. After much debate, it was decided that Heitz’ design with the stars arranged in a circle was the preferable option, but rather than fifteen stars, the ensign would have twelve. The EU flag was originally designed for the Council of Europe in 1955, and was later adopted by the European Parliament in 1983.
