At <www.hoo.tel.hr>,
there is an official text concerning the flag and the emblem of
the Olympic Croatian Committee, but I didn't understand the text.
. I don't know how the flag looks like, probably white with the
logo at the top of the page.
Pascal Vagnat, 8 December 1998
Usually they call themselves in English "Croatian Olympic
Committee" - COC in short. Let me see what is there to
provide some translation. It is "Pravilnik o zastavi i znaku
Hrvatskog olimpijskog odbora" - Rules on flag and symbol of
COC.
Art. 6 detrmines the flag: "The flag of COC is determined
with COC Graphic Standards Manual. The flag background is white
with centrally set COC symbol. The flag format [i.e. size, ratio.
ZH] is defined by standards set for the flags. The flag colour is
also determined by the COC Graphic Standards Manual."
Art. 7 prescribes that COC flag should always be used with the
flag of the Republic of Croatia.
Art. 8. defined the COC symbol: "The basic graphic standard
of COC visual identity is COC symbol approved by the
International Olympic Commettee on 24-APR-1992 (letter no
2110/92/jm9). The symbol is unique grapic presentation of five
olympic rings, six red and three white squares and text
"Hrvatski olimpijski odbor" on white background
bordered in shape of a shield."
I'll check the flag on COC building in next few days, I use to
pass over there often and the flags are always hoisted on it
(left to right IOC, HR, COC). It seems that national olympic
symbols (or any other using olympic rings) should be approved by
IOC.
Another point that I have regarding this article is "three
white squares", which are very often wrongly made
transparent, so to say, and symbol under rings consists only of
six red squares. The same error is made also on the COC page with
this Rules (sic!).
Art 15. determined that this Rules becomes vaild with the day of
their acceptance, and that is 10-SEP-1993. Possibly similar set
of rules was adopted earlier, and these rules did not chance the
essence of it, regarding the look of the flag and symbol. In any
case, I believe that t
