- Many left-wing Galician nationalists add a five-pointed red star to the Galician flag to show their support of socialism or communism. That flag was created during the decade of the 1970s inspired on the flag of Yugoslavia and has been adopted as the official logotype of the Bloque Nacionalista Galego (Galician National Party).
- Following the oil spill of the petrol tanker Prestige off the Galician coast in 2002, Galician demonstrators used a Galician flag dyed in black with the phrase "Nunca Máis" (Never Again). This flag has become a very popular symbol for environmental activism in Galicia.

Famous quotes containing the word flags:
“The flags are natures newly found.
Rifles grow sharper on the sight.
There is a rumble of autumnal marching,
From which no soft sleeve relieves us.
Fate is the present desperado.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats ... these are the facts.”
—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
