Product Description
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Printed Flag is dye-printed on 200 denier nylon, so every line of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s official emblem reproduces exactly, and it is made in the USA. Most printed flags are finished with a canvas header and brass grommets for an outdoor flagpole; a pole hem is available for indoor and parade display.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence leads the U.S. Intelligence Community, which is made up of 18 organizations, including ODNI itself. The Director of National Intelligence serves as head of the Intelligence Community and principal adviser to the President for intelligence matters, and oversees and directs the implementation of the National Intelligence Program. ODNI's mission is to lead intelligence integration and forge an Intelligence Community that delivers the most insightful intelligence possible. Its mission centers include the National Counterterrorism Center and the National Counterintelligence and Security Center.
Choose Your Options
Every Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Printed Flag is made to order, so tell us how you want it built. These are the choices.
- Mounting: A pole hem is a sewn sleeve along the hoist edge that slides over an indoor or parade pole. A pole hem with fringe adds gold rayon fringe on three edges, the traditional ceremonial finish. Grommets are brass rings set into a canvas header, the standard finish for an outdoor flagpole.
- Single-sided or double-sided: A single-sided flag carries the design on the front only; the back is blank. A double-sided flag shows the design on both sides and is built one of three ways:
- Double-reverse: one layer of fabric, printed on one side so the dye soaks through and the design shows on the back in reverse. The lightest build.
- Double-paneled: two panels sewn back to back, so the design reads correctly on both sides. The heaviest build, and it needs the most wind to fly.
- Single field, double seal: one field with the emblem on the front and a second emblem tacked to the back, so the seal reads correctly from either side without the weight of two panels.
- Printed construction: Acid dye bonds into the nylon fiber, so the color goes deep and stays bright outdoors. Every printed flag is lock stitched, the stronger interlocking stitch, on the seams and header. For appliqué and embroidery instead of print, see the sewn version of this flag.
- Size: 3x4 FT, 3x5 FT, 4x6 FT, 5x8 FT, 52x66 IN. For another size, give us the finished width and height you need.

Historical Background
The 9/11 Commission's final report, released in July 2004, called for sweeping change in the Intelligence Community, including the creation of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Congress passed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, and President George W. Bush signed it on December 17, 2004. The act created the position of Director of National Intelligence and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
John Negroponte was sworn in as the first Director of National Intelligence in the Oval Office on April 21, 2005, the same day as the first Principal Deputy Director. ODNI began operations at 7 a.m. on April 22, 2005.
The ODNI seal reflects the Director's charge to oversee and coordinate the foreign and domestic activities of the Intelligence Community. It places an American bald eagle, shield, olive branch and arrows over a blue field with a map of the world, inside a ring of 50 white stars and the gold words OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
