Country Flags by Continent

The flag of Guyana, known as The Golden Arrowhead, was adopted in 1966. It was designed by Whitney Smith, an American vexillologist (though originally without the black and white fimbriations, which were added by the College of Arms in the United Kingdom). The colours are symbolic: green for agriculture and forests, white for rivers and water, gold for mineral wealth, black for endurance, and red for zeal and dynamism.
