Flag of Rondônia
The current flag was introduced by the 7th Decree of the state of Rondônia on 31 December 1981, a mere 9 days after Rondônia was elevated from a federal territory [pt] to a state.[1][2] The current flag was created by 17-year-old Sílvio Carvajal Feitosa and was chosen in a contest created by the state government to choose its symbols.[3] The design of the flag is a stylistic representation of Rondônia as "the newest star shining in the sky of the Union".[5] The blue upper half of the flag represents the sky, whereas the lower half is a perspective view of the land.These resources are represented by the yellow portions of the flag.
