Proposed Flag of Fiji 2015 Design #36 Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases Design #36, a finalist proposal from the 2015 competition for a new Fijian flag. The design is a striking representation of Fijian identity, incorporating elements of the nation's heritage and natural environment.
Design Elements
The flag's foundation is a light blue field, often referred to as "Fiji Blue," immediately evoking the nation's connection to the sea and sky. A prominent dark blue triangle dominates the hoist (left) side, extending to roughly seven-eighths of the flag's height.
A crisp, white chevron, outlined in a subtle border, bisects the design. This chevron, extending about halfway across the flag, signifies a separation or transition, potentially referencing the desire to move away from colonial symbols.
Within the dark blue hoist triangle, a light grey sea snail shell acts as a focal point, symbolizing the rich marine environment and local fauna unique to Fiji. On the fly side (right), three dark blue, seven-pointed stars are strategically placed. These stars form a triangle, mirroring the shapes on the hoist side. One star is positioned near the top edge, one near the bottom edge, and one is more centrally located, all pointing towards the hoist.
Symbolism and Meaning
The overall design reflects Fiji's deep connection to the ocean, represented by the "Fiji Blue" background. The chevron suggests a transition or a move away from the colonial past. The hoist triangle emphasizes the placement of significant symbolic elements. The inclusion of a sea snail shell speaks to Fiji's unique marine life, and the seven-pointed stars may evoke constellations or perhaps represent different regions or aspects of the nation, though a definitive interpretation of what each element represents is not available.
