Flag of Libya (1977–2011)

The flag of Libya from 1977 to 2011 was a green field in 1:2 ratio. It was adopted as the flag of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in November 1977 and designed by its then-leader Muammar Gaddafi, intended to symbolise his "Green Revolution". It was considered the only solid colour national flag in the world during this time.

In 2011, after the collapse of Gaddafi's government, the 1951–1969 flag from the Kingdom of Libya was re-adopted, although the Jamahiriya flag remained in use by Gaddafi loyalists. Before 1977, the country (known as the Libyan Arab Republic) used an Arab liberation flag design similar to Egypt's, although this was relinquished following the Egyptian–Libyan War.
