Scillonian Cross
Flag of the Isles of Scilly
Proportion5:3
AdoptedFebruary 2002 by popular vote, registered with the Flag Institute
DesignA white cross over an orange and blue background, with five stars in the upper-right canton.

The Scillonian Cross (Cornish: Baner Syllan) is a unitary authority flag created in 2002 for the Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom.[1] The flag was designed by the Scilly News, and received positive support from its readers in a popular vote, leading to it being officially registered with the Flag Institute as the official flag for the islands.[2][1]

The flag's design consists of a white cross over an orange and blue background, with five white stars in the upper-right canton. Each part of the design represents a significant element for Isles of Scilly: the upper orange colour represents the orange-hued sunsets the islands are known for; the lower blue colour represents the surrounding sea around the isles; while the stars represent the isles' locations.[3][4][1]
