Flags With Circles Knowledge Quiz – Circles on Flags
Circles on flags often represent the sun or moon. Japan's flag is the most famous example, showing a red sun on white. Bangladesh, Palau, Laos and Niger also use circles.
Other circles hold symbols: India's wheel, South Korea's yin-yang, Mongolia's Soyombo and Brazil's starry globe. Each reflects religion, philosophy or history.
Simple circle designs are bold and memorable, making these flags easy to recognize.
Circle flags also show how designers borrow from each other. Bangladesh's design was influenced by Japan's simple sun, and Palau deliberately chose a yellow moon on blue instead of a sun to reflect its ocean culture. When you spot a circle on a flag, ask whether it is a sun, a moon or a symbol, and what it says about the nation's history.
