Anagrammatic Flags

Anagrammatic Flags by Richard Grantham

This is a comprehensive collection of groups of national flags that contain the same amount of each colour by area, thus forming mutual anagrams. Many of the original flags have been subtly altered in pattern, colour or proportion to become close approximations of the official versions. In particular, liberties have been taken with proportion in order to allow flags of wildly differing proportions to have the same total area.

Several flags (e.g. Spain, Bolivia, Ethiopia) also exist in versions bearing coats of arms. In each case, the plain version has been used.

2-coloured flags I
6 groups of 2-4 flags apiece
3-coloured flags I
5 groups of 2-3 flags apiece
4-coloured flags
1 group of 2 flags

2-coloured flags II
1 group of 6 flags
3-coloured flags II
4 groups of 3-7 flags apiece

This collection won an Anagrammy in July 2002 (Special Category).
