National flags of a country are a symbol of a country’s pride, something people have often taken for granted. Have you ever wondered about the Solomon Islands flag and its history? According to research, the Solomon Islands flag was adopted in 1977 one year before Independence from Britain and although you may have thought it was a design from a Solomon Islander, this is not so. The Solomon Island flag was designed by a New Zealander who was a Visual Arts Master at the KG VI school from 1974-1978. According to his reports two flags were approved by the leaders then, following national applications for a suitable national flag.
