The new flags of Macau follow the previous ones with an interesting balance of change and non-change: They both show emblems on a plain background, and the emblems themselves are elegant developments of the respective ancestor. The Islands Municipality new flag changed the background from orange to green (though I know I've seen the old emblem on green also) and kept the previous sun, fish and triangles motive (inattentive of its Christian symbolism). This is now placed on a large lotus emblem from the Macao SAR flag, and a golden scroll bellow, also, similar to the previous flag, read in Portuguese and Chinese "Islands Provisional Municipal Chamber".

The Provisional Islands flag (the green one) flies at the Headquarters of the Council and municipal markets at weekdays.
