Other flags
[edit]The French tricolore is the official national flag used in Guadeloupe.[1]
In addition to the French flag, an inscribed regional logo on a white field is often used as regional flag, similar to the practice in Mayotte and Réunion. The logo of Guadeloupe shows a stylized Sun and bird on a green and light blue square with the subscript REGION GUADELOUPE underlined in yellow.[1]
A locally used unofficial flag, based on the coat of arms of Guadeloupe's capital Basse-Terre has a black or red field with a 30-rayed yellow sun and a green sugarcane, and a blue stripe with three yellow fleurs-de-lis on the top.[1] The flag appeared on a 10 euro collector coin minted by Monnaie de Paris in 2010.[2] as well as some fabric badges.
The independentist People's Union for the Liberation of Guadeloupe has proposed a national flag. It bears great resemblance to the national flag of Suriname, with a wider red stripe and the star shifted towards the hoist.[1]
