Intro

These variations consist of diverse degrees of simplifying of the real flag. I'm sure these “evolved” from using in a flag fashion pieces of “chuvash bounting” (the stripes of the national flag in a ribbon or scroll, often embellishment in local coats of arms and logos). Please note that these patterns were actually witnessed being used as flags, both in real (usually paper hand wavers or metal roof and pole top ornaments), and in flat flag depictions on outdoor advertisement and similar public media. All these images were made using the official ratio, however simplifications are simple by nature, and 2:3 or 1:2 might be also in use.
