The flag of Tamil Eelam was designated as a national flag in 1990. The Tiger symbol of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was created in 1977 and was designated as the National Flag of Tamil Eelam in 1990, differentiating it from the LTTE's emblem by leaving out the letters inscribing the movement's name. In 2005, the LTTE released an updated version of the guide providing instructions and explaining the correct usage of the Tamil Eelam National Flag. The guide written in Tamil specifies the regulations for flying alone or with national flags of other countries, and for general handling of the flag. The National Flag has four colors, yellow, red, black, and white.

Famous quotes containing the word flag:
“There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
