Summary

Description
English: Flag of Zimbabwe — construction sheet
Date
Source

Own work. The basic layout of the horizontal stripes, and the triangle are based on the description and image in the Flag of Zimbabwe Act..

Vert, on a fess gules, fimbriated by two bars or, a bar sable, issuant from the dexter a pile argent fimbriated sable charged with a Molet of five points gules debruised by a representation of the Great Zimbabwe Bird.

—  from the Schedule associated with section #3 of the Zimbabwe Flag Act
  • The Flag Act does not explicitly state the flag's aspect ratio, but the drawing in the Flag act is approximately 1:2. The ratio used in this construction sheet is exactly 1:2.
  • The stripes are of equal width. This is confirmed from the description of the flag on the National Symbols website.
  • From Flags of the World (FOTW): the right apex of the white triangle sits at 23 hoist from the hoist. The fimbriation is 142 hoist. Neither of these values are explicitly stated in the Flag Act, but they agree with measurements taken from the 2:3 flag image depicted on the National Symbols website. This construction sheet adopts both values.
  • The star depicted in the image in the Flag Act is not a pentagram; it is distorted with its upper arms being longer than its lower arms. The star in the image on the National Symbols web site is a standard pentagram which has been adopted by many flag manufacturers. This construction sheet uses a pentagram; it is sized and positioned based on measurements from the image on the National Symbols web site. Two of the star's inner vertices sit on the flag's horizontal centerline. For more information about the two types of stars see: w:Flag_of_Zimbabwe#Design.

A Zimbabwean work that is in the public domain in Zimbabwe according to this rule is in the public domain in the U.S. only if it was in the public domain in Zimbabwe in 1996, e.g. if it was published before 1946 and no copyright was registered in the U.S. (This is the effect of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (17 USC 104A) with its critical date of January 1, 1996.)

This work is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.
