Flag Pole

Norwegian legislation does not say anything about the flagpole. Most often, there will be an ordinary knob on top of a flag pole, sometimes a spearhead. The flagpole itself is usually white.
Jan Oskar Engene, 03 May 1996

The official proportions of the flag are 16:22, being divided horizontally 6:1:2:1:12 and vertically 6:1:2:1:6.

About dimensions in Scandinavian flags

by Edward Mooney, Jr.

Scandinavian crosses are measured by the width of the color, as shown in the diagram above. In the case of Norway, horizontally there are 6 units of red, 1 unit of white, 2 units of blue, 1 unit of white, and 12 units of red. Vertically the flag has 6 units of red, 1 unit of white, 2 units of blue, 1 unit of white and 6 units of red.

Suggestions for a change of the Norwegian flag

Published at the site of Norwegian newspaper "Verdens gang" (which means something like "The Way the World Goes") last year: http://www.vg.no/protokoll/?pid=668&fylke=00&start=250
I'm most intrigued by the suggestion to put a Mercedes-Benz logo on the flag to make it more positive (13:34 // 11.06.2010 Ikke forandre flaget) but this is obviously a joke. The idea of a "brown flag with swords in the mountain" look nice but I think wouldn't make a good flag (13:42 // 11.06.2010 Sverdene i fjellet).
An argument against the flag should have been that it includes a religious symbol. One guy says he has never seen it that way but just as a nice flag design (13:43 // 11.06.2010 Er ingen grunn til å endre det).
Elias Granqvist, 23 July 2011

I'm guessing "Mona" meant the peace sign, not the Mercedes Benz sign, and just got it wrong. It's happened before.
