Summary
DescriptionFlag of the Comoros (construction sheet).svg |
English: Flag of the Comoros — unofficial construction sheet.
In the absence of definitive government specifications, this construction sheet serves to document Wikimedia's representation of the flag of the Comoros as it appears in the December 25, 2021 version of File:Flag of the Comoros.svg. |

Own work. Article 9 of the Comoros Constitution contains a very short description of the flag but it fails to provide the complete geometry.
There is no evidence that the government has ever provided a full geometric specification for the flag. Therefore, this construction sheet is mostly constructed from non-official sources. This construction sheet borrows two primary assumptions from Vexilla Mundi and Flags of the World (FOTW):
Other miscellaneous assumptions made on this construction sheet include:
The size and shape of the crescent, as well as the size and spacing of the stars are very loosely based on a mix of measurements and/or visual inspections of the following images:
Note: the government provides a drawing (PNG image) of the flag at Government of Comoros - Symbols of State. The drawing depicts an unexplained 5:9 aspect ratio, an equilateral triangle, and inflated stars that do not appear to match anything seen in the real world. The drawing bears no text or dimensions and it is accompanied with absolutely no documentation. There is no compelling reason to believe that the drawing should be treated as an official representation of the flag and that is why it is not listed in the sources above. If the government wanted to officially adopt inflated stars, it should have published inner and outer radii for them. |
