The flag of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation was adopted in 2011.

Design and symbolism

It is white with the organization's emblem in the center, which consists of a green shade globe, surrounded by a crescent moon, with the Kaaba at the center of the globe on a white field. The elements of the emblem reflect the organization's corporate philosophy according to their new statutes.[1]

Former flag

The former flag was adopted in 1981,[2] which featured a green background with an upward-facing red crescent enveloped in a white disc in the center; inside the disc, the words "Allahu Akbar" were written in Arabic calligraphy.
