The national flag of Bangladesh was adopted officially on 17 January 1972. It consists of a red circle on top of a dark green banner. The red circle is offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centered when the flag is flying. While there are many interpretations, the green on the flag represents the lushness of landscape and the red circle symbolizes blood of martyrs.
