Brunei’s emblem on a yellow field
Brunei’s flag has a yellow field crossed diagonally by white and black bands, with the red national emblem at the centre. The emblem includes a royal parasol, wings, hands and a crescent bearing Arabic writing.
Yellow is associated with the Sultan, while the emblem brings together royal authority and Islamic state identity. The diagonal bands and central red crest make Brunei’s design distinct from a plain yellow flag or a conventional three-band tricolour.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
