Five sizes, from 12 IN x 18 IN to 5 FT x 8 FT, cover a desk stand, a house bracket, and a full-size pole.

Historical Background

The crescent and star flew over the Ottoman Empire from the late eighteenth century, and the Republic of Turkey kept the design at its founding in 1923. The Turkish Flag Law of 1936 fixed the exact geometry of the crescent and star and the shade of red. The flag is called ay yildiz, moon star, and al bayrak, the red flag. One legend holds that the crescent and star were seen reflected in a pool of blood after the Battle of Kosovo in 1389; another traces the crescent to the ancient city of Byzantium.

A Turkey flag in nylon with grommets is the standard outdoor form, flown at the Turkish embassy in Washington, by Turkish-American communities, and at events across the country.

Is the crescent printed on both sides?

The design prints through the nylon, so the crescent and star show in reverse on the back. Because the emblem is symmetrical, it reads correctly from either side.

Which size for a house bracket?

3 FT x 5 FT. For a 20 FT pole, 3 FT x 5 FT or 4 FT x 6 FT. For 25 FT, 4 FT x 6 FT or 5 FT x 8 FT.

Where does the Turkish flag stand beside the American flag?

In the United States, the American flag takes the position of honor at its own right, the viewer’s left, and the Turkish flag stands beside it on a pole of equal height.

Do you make it with fringe for indoors?

Yes. We make the Turkey flag with a pole hem and fringe for offices and ceremonies. Ask us if it is not listed.

Is this the current official design?

Yes. The crescent and star are drawn to the proportions fixed by Turkish law in 1936, which remain in force.
