The design of the congress flag is based on the flag of the Nordic Flag Society though with a vertically oriented knot of vexillology. The flag carries the blue and yellow colours of Sweden's flag and the congress city, Stockholm, is represented by the arms of St. Erik in the canton. The Nordic cross design of the flag indicates that the congress is organized by the Nordic Flag Society. The proportions of the flag have been set to 2:3. Vice president Gustav Söderlund of the Nordic Flag Society came up with the idea for the congress flag. His idea was developed in cooperation with designer Tiina Trimeloni who also made the final drawing.
