Flag comparisons
A tricolour with the state emblem
Act No. 63/1993 describes three equal horizontal bands, white above blue and red. The coat of arms is placed on the hoist-side half of the flag; its height is half the flag's height. The prescribed proportions are 2:3.
The emblem is a red shield bearing a silver double cross on a three-peaked blue base. Including it distinguishes Slovakia's tricolour from similar white-blue-red designs. The Act also governs the production and use of state symbols.

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.
