guyana tie

Flag of Guyana. The flag of Guyana, known as The Golden Arrowhead, has been the national flag of Guyana since May 1966 when the country became independant from the United Kingdom. It was designed by Whitney Smith, an American vexillologist (though originally without the black and white fimbriations, which were later additions suggested by the College of Arms in the United Kingdom). The colours are symbolic, with green for agriculture and forests, white for rivers and water, gold for mineral wealth, black for endurance, and red for zeal and dynamism.
