2400 Flag Icon Set

James Gill / September 16, 2010

240+ Flags in any size you need for your next project

It’s been a while since we posted some resources on the GoSquared Blog, so we thought it was time we shared something great with you.

Introducing our latest icon set – 2400 Flags. We’ve created a flag for every major country in the world, plus a few more. And we’ve created them in several sizes so they’ll look great no matter where you’re using them – 16×16, 24×24, 32×32, 48×48, and 64×64. We’ve also provided them in 2 variants – as flat and standard, and with a lovely glossy finish.

240+ Flag Icons - here's some of our favs

Get the download now! Donate as much as you want

We’ve organised them by country name and also by ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code where available, so hopefully you’ll be able to find all the flags you need, and integrate them into your next project in seconds.

Pay whatever you want

We put considerable effort into the resources we make and until now we’ve always given them away for free. This time around we’re asking anyone who actually gets some use out of these flags to pay for them, and for the time we spent creating them. We won’t set the price point, so pay whatever you like. Hate them? Don’t pay anything!


Using these Flags commercially

If you want to use these flag icons commercially (on your company’s website, in client work, in any scenario where you’ll be profiting from the work they’re in) then we kindly request that you donate at least $40 to justify the time and effort we’ve put in to creating them. It wasn’t a small job, and your money goes directly back in to creating more quality design resources.

If you need a flag that isn’t here, please drop us a line in the comments and we’ll add it as soon as we can.

We hope they’re useful for you, and that you share them with the world.

Enjoy!

    I've got a list of resources I keep in mind for my own projects which I'm planning to make public and I might add this to it.

    Could you please state clearly and simply what your required (not recommended) terms are? (ideally, by reference to an existing license like MIT/BSD, CC-BY-SA, etc.) I only list resources which meet the criteria for Stallman's four software freedoms (so I have various GPLed javascript modules in the list with cautionary notes, but if you've got a "no derivatives" clause or the donation for commercial use is more than just a request/recommendation, I'll just leave the "flag icons" position to FamFamFam's flag icon set)

    As a webdesigner I need flags all the time, this looks just fine for my needs.
    You suggest to donate at least $40 per client or in total?

  21. 21

    peter said,

    October 9, 2010 at 22:05 ()

    I was interested in the flags but $40 donation to use them commercially, sorry won't be using them, if I used them on a project it would be 2 different flags in maybe 2 sizes, that $10 a flag. I'll commission something unique for that. Thanks but no thanks

  22. 22

    James Gill said,

    October 9, 2010 at 22:26 ()

    Thanks very much for your comments and kind feedback everyone!

    Jelmer - we request a donation of at least $40 for use in any commercial scenario, but if you'll be using them in multiple projects then we don't request another $40 per project. However, if you're profiting greatly from their use, we appreciate the generosity of anything over $40.

    Peter - apologies, but we feel $40 is a fair price for commercial use of these icons - 2,400 matching, consistently styled flag icons is a bargain in our eyes.

    Hi Frank, thanks very much for your donation and we're glad you like the set!

    We've just added a new World Map flag, and we'll put a Jerusalem flag on our to-do list.

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments!

    In the flags-iso directory, the flag for the Holy See is named _vatican.png, but it should be va.png, as this is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the Holy See.

    Hi,

    First of all, let me congratulate you for the great work. The best set of flags I've seen so far!

    As your flags are named with the standards of the ISO 3166 database, I've compared it with your set, and I've noted that there are some minor countries missing (25). In fact, they are all not sovereign countries, but they all have a dedicated official entry in the ISO 3166 database. They are the following (as of Jan 2011):

    BQ Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba
    BV Bouvet Island
    CC Cocos (Keeling) Islands
    CK Cook Islands
    CW Curaçao
    CX Christmas Island
    GF French Guiana
    GI Gibraltar
    GP Guadeloupe
    HM Heard Island and McDonald Islands
    IO British Indian Ocean Territory
    MF Saint Martin (French part)
    MP Northern Mariana Islands
    NC New Caledonia
    NU Niue
    PF French Polynesia
    PM Saint Pierre and Miquelon
    RE Réunion
    SJ Svalbard and Jan Mayen
    SX Sint Maarten (Dutch part)
    TF French Southern Territories
    TK Tokelau
    UM United States Minor Outlying Islands
    WF Wallis and Futuna
    YT Mayotte

    Also, you can rename your flag "_vatican" to "VA", as it's the official code for the "Holy See (Vatican City State)".

    With those implementations, the set would be complete 100%, as it would cover all the 248 entries of the ISO 3166.

    Anyway, thanks a lot for the current set, it's just wonderful.

    Regards!

    Wow, excellent stuff. Thanks.

    Anyway, for the Indonesian flag (red/white), the red color must be larger than the white one. It's about 3/5 for the red color, and 2/5 for the white color.

    Hi James! Really great flags!!!
    I know it's not good web-style, but sometimes flags get used as language indicators. Maybe you could add a flag for Esperanto? (And maybe Klingon and Lojban?)

    And here i have a question: Would it be okay to use your flags in non-commercial javascript that puts them on a non-commercial website? Would it be okay to convert them to data:uri for this purpos? I would of course encourage all users (through the forum) to donate for the flags and mention this website as well as the donation inside the script.

    These flags are from IconDrawer: http://icondrawer.com/free.php
    I think it’s copyright offence.

    @Josh - these icons are entirely our own work. Each one was made in Photoshop by ourselves - we don't steal other people's work. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any other questions:

    We bought this collection; it's fantastic! However, I noticed that three country flags have been updated since your collection was created: Libya (Aug. 2011), Myanmar (Oct. 2010), and Malawi (July 2010). We don't use these particular flags, so it's not a big deal to us, I just though I'd make you and other potential downloaders aware of it. Thanks again!!
