On land the president uses the
national flag with the
Sun of May.
Jarig Bakker, 17 Jun 1999, quoting from
[ped80]
The presidential Navy rank flag — or better the
naval rank flag of the Supreme
Commander of the Argentine Armed forces, who is inherently
the President.
António Martins, 21 Jun 2000
Light blue background flag is shown in
[pay00], in ratio 3:4, with note
that it is only for use at sea.
Zeljko Heimer, 03 Feb 2001
Colours:
Backgound pale blue (celeste) and stars white.
Coat of arms
multicolored. Ratio: 2:3. I don’t know the date of adoption,
but it was in use before 1910.
Jaume Ollé, 02 Jul 1996
The President’s Standard is light blue, with a
badge in the centre and a white five-pointed star
in each of the four corners. This badge consists
of an oval shield, divided into halves, the top being
light blue and the lower white. Overall are two hands
grasping a staff on which is a red cap of liberty.
Above is a golden sun, and the shield is surrounded
by a laurel wreath, which, unlike most wreaths used
in a similar position, partly obscures the face of
the sun.
Jarig Bakker, 17 Jun 1999, quoting from
[bar71]
In Album des Pavillons
[pay], the President’s
ensign is dark blue field, phrygian cap yellow,
proportion 3:4.
Ivan Sache, 10 Oct 1999
The argentine presidential ensign image in ratio 2:3 shows in the
Flaggenbuch 1905 [ruh05]. But
I have had the chance of learning that this 1905 edition is not very
accurate — nothing to do with the 1939
edition compiled by Neubecker.
Jaume Ollé, 27 Feb 2000
Some sources, like Album 1995
issue, Smith’s 1980 book, and
Flagbulletin, shown the flag with dark
blue background. If Ihave understood the discussions here rightly,
the dark blue flag was never used nor correct — it was always the
light blue (though it seems that in time of WWII the proportion was
slightly different, 9:10).
Zeljko Heimer, 03 Feb 2001
Note that in Flaggenbuch 1939,
[neu92] the field
of the President’s ensign is celeste blue, phrygian
cap red, proportion 9:10.

![[Presidential transport flag]](../images/a/ar_prest.gif)
Ratio conjectural. Status uncertain, might
have been only a proposal; at most it is
used on presidential land vehicles.
António Martins, 21 Jun 2000
A triband flag of light blue / white / light
blue with the coat of arms at the center of the
white stripe is used as “transportation flag” on
any vehicle used by the president.
Gustavo Tracchia, 05 Sep 1999
A smaller flag is hoisted below the
national flag at
the Casa Rosada to indicate the
presence of the president.
