The flag of Commonwealth consists of the symbol of Commonwealth in gold on a blue background centered on a rectangle. The flag was developed from the car pennants produced for the first time at the Ottawa Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 1973. The Commonwealth is primarily an organization in which countries with diverse backgrounds get an opportunity for interaction on personal and equal levels. It is not a political union and is a voluntary association of 53 sovereign states. The radiating spears do not represent the number of the countries but symbolize the many facets of Commonwealth cooperation. There is no fixed size or color for the symbol.
