The congress in 2016 is in Ústí nad Orlicí.
The Czech Vexillological Society and the flag producer Velebný & Fam. s.r.o. are organizing the 6th Czech National Congress of Vexillology in the town of Ústí nad Orlicí (East Bohemia) between 24 and 26 June 2016. Over the course of three days, the congress will provide an exciting and interesting programme with presentations of new and original vexillological research, flags exhibition and many other events.
The flag of the 6th Czech National Congress of Vexillology has continued in
symbolism of those hoisted at the previous congresses, i.e. referring both to
vexillology and to venue of the congress. It combines both national colours and
the wedge from the Czech flag with the colours and stripes of the municipal flag
of Ústí nad Orlicí (three horizontal stripes in B-W-B charged with the city arms
in the centre). The red pall consists of Roman numerals V and I for the order
number of the congress.
The blue field is charged with a white pall at
the hoist growing from the br>first third of the upper and
lower edge; the red pall, the width of which corresponds to one third of the
white pall, is inserted. The width to length ratio is as 2:3.
The congress emblem is derived from the flag's appearance arranged into the traditional disc bordered by black inscriptions "6. ČESKÝ NÁRODNÍ
VEXILOLOGICKÝ KONGRES" in the top and "ÚSTÍ NAD ORLICÍ 24. - 26. 6. 2016" in
the bottom, separated by small stars. The emblem exists in coloured, grey
and black-and-white renditions.
The author of the flag and emblem is Petr
Exner.
