The origins of modern flags lie in its history. In the old days people used to hunt together and live together and the disputes were resolved by a leader who used to wear a different kind of dress and the place where they used to site was marked by a fabric attached to a pole. This piece of fabric denoted the importance of the leader and the powers that the leader had to take decisions on behalf of the entire community and the group. It was during those days when the importance of presidential flag came into existence and it is still being used today in our modern world.
Today, Presidential flag denotes the presence of the President in that country. It represents the highest power of that particular country and the culture and traditions of that particular country. You will be able to see Presidential flag on Presidential limousines and yacht or at any ceremonial functions where the President is present or is going to visit such ceremonies. Many a times when you are watching a TV, you might see a Presidential flag right near the microphone where the President will stand and deliver his speech, or probably at places where he is going to meet the foreign heads of state.
Hundreds of countries have Presidential flags. Countries like United States of America, Ukraine, South Korea, Germany, Greece, India, Pakistan, Finland, Ireland, Russia, Sri Lanka and Israel are among those countries that have presidential flag. Presidential flag is a bit different from the national flag as it does not symbolize the entire nation but it represents the ultimate power of that country and the symbols are related to feelings like national unity, patience, strength, justice, truth and equality. Some of the Presidential flags are similar to each other as they draw inspiration from other countries’ Presidential flag.
