Heraldica Slovenica Proposal

1:2

Heraldic and vexillological society of Slovenian Heraldica Slovenica proposed in 1989/90 vertical tricolour instead of the traditional horizontal.

Nedeljski dnevnik Proposals

The weekly magazine Nedeljski vjesnik 3 October 1993 issued an article regarding the flag design in preparation for the formal adoption of the current flag in Slovenian Parliament. The article showed a number of possible designs; some of them prepared by the world most eminent vexillologists.

Other tricolours

(1) 1:2

(2) 1:2

(3) 1:2

This group might be called "tricolour rearranged" giving some classical tricolour possibilities yet unused by any other independent nation. Such are vertical tricolour of blue-red-white, diagonal tricolour of red-blue-white, and tricolour of Madagascar pattern blue over red with white hoist.

Other variations

(1) 1:2

(2) 1:2

(3) 1:2

This group uses some other classical roots for the flag - banner of arms of the Celje (Cilli) blue with three golden stars, red-blue-yellow horizontal tricolour and the tricolour inverted to the traditional pattern - red-blue-white. The idea of replacement of one stripe with a yellow one was adopted latter, though not in the same design as here, as the naval jack.

Smith's proposal

1:2

The flag design proposed by Whitney Smith retains the traditional white-red-blue tricolour pattern and includes the Triglav motive as a zigzag middle stripe.

Znamierowski's proposals

(1) 1:2

(2) 1:2

Znamierowski proposals are also retaining the three traditional colours, though here they are arranged in a pattern that may be remotely connected with Czech flag, and also reminding to the Smith's proposals for Guyana flag, though in different colours.

Prijatelj Proposal

1:2

The magazine Prijatelj issued in early 1990 an article with proposal for the coat of arms and flag. The coat of arms proposed is Argent a Caranthanian Hat Sable trimmed Gules based on ancient Caranthanian symbols. The flag proposed is bicolour of yellow over blue, based on Celje colours with the proposed coat of arms in canton.

Black Panther Proposal

(1)

(2)

Heraldic society Black Panther made rather strong propaganda on their proposal that consists of the coat of arms of Argent a Panther Sable (armed and langued Gules), that is based on medieval Caranthanian coat of arms. The flag proposed is vertical triband of green-white-green or black-white-black with the panther in the middle.

Triglav variation

1:2

Several left winged parties used unofficially and proposed for the flag vertical tricolour with Triglav and waves emblem in the middle, mainly in early 1990's. Horizontal variation was also recorded.

Žižmund's Proposal

1:2

The flag in shape of Canadian pale of blue and white with red carnation in the middle. The proposal was issued by Uroš Žižmund on FOTW mailing list in 1997.

Cross Proposal

2:3?

The flag in pattern of yellow Scandinavian cross dividing it in four fields of white, green, blue and red is recorded by Jaume Ollé as "some political party" proposal in mid-1990's.

Dolenec's Proposal

(1) 1:2

(2) 1:2

Simon Dolenec proposed in 1998 a green-blue-yellow tricolour with black panther overall. An other proposal, among several in his manuscripts, is white-blue-red tricolour with slanted stripes and a blue panther in the white field.

Mladina 2002 Proposal

1:2

The political weekly magazine Mladina organized a concourse for new Slovenian symbols (flag and coat of arms) in nr. 40/2001. The winning entry by Igor V. is published in nr. 1/2002, blue (purple) flag with yellow line forming the shape of Triglav at hoist and continuing horizontally towards fly.
