The Flag Company Inc And Iranian Flag

By Kate Nelson


The early history of Iran may be divided into three phases: the prehistoric period, beginning with the earliest evidence of humans on the Iranian plateau (c. 100,000 bc) and ending roughly at the start of the 1st millennium bc, the protohistoric period, covering approximately the first half of the 1st millennium bc, and the period of the Achaemenian dynasty (6th to 4th century bc), when Iran entered the full light of written history.

In 612, they combine with Babylon to sack the Assyrian capital at Nineveh. Their spoils are northern Assyria and much of Anatolia, where the Halys river becomes the border between themselves and Lydia.

The Iranian flag was adopted on July 29, 1980. The colors of the Iranian flag are traditional and probably date from at least the 18th century. A plain horizontal striped tricolor flag of green, white and pink had been in use in Iran since 1905. The pink stripe was officially changed to red in 1933. Iran was a monarchy for nearly 400 years until a republic was declared in 1979 after Muslim clerics and students overthrew the last Shah.

The flag of Iran consists of three equal sized horizontal stripes - the top stripe is green; the middle one is white, and the bottom stripe is red. On the edges of the white stripe, there are stylized writings. In the middle of the white stripe and at the flag's center is the country's coat of arms consisting of four crescents and a sword.

The flag of Iran is a horizontal tricolor featuring three equal bands of green (top), white (middle), and red (bottom). In the middle band of the flag, the national emblem is placed. Designed by Hamid Nadimi, the emblem is red in color and symbolizes the five principles of Islam. The emblem is made up of four crescents with a sword in the center. The sword in the center represents the strength of the nation.

The four crescents form the word Allah: read from right to left the first crescent is the letter aleph, the second crescent is the first laam; the vertical line is the second laam, and the third and fourth crescents together form the heh. Above the central stroke is a tashdid (a diacritical mark indicating gemination) resembling a letter W. The tulip shape of the emblem as a whole memorializes those who have died for Iran and symbolizes the values of patriotism and self-sacrifice, building on a legend that red tulips grow from the shed blood of martyrs. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Iranian Flag for the future.
