The regions of Denmark do not have flags, instead using "logos" as symbols. These are sometimes misattributed as flags, and can be seen flown at times, but this is not the official use of them.
Some areas in Denmark have unofficial flags, listed below. The regional flags of Bornholm and Ærø are known to be in active use. The flags of Vendsyssel (Vendelbrog), the Jutlandic flag ("Den jyske fane"), and the flag of Funen ("Fynbo fanen") are obscure. None of these flags have legal recognition in Denmark, and are officially considered to be "fantasy flags".[4] Denmark reserves official recognition to official flags and regional flags (områdeflag) from other jurisdictions.
Nordic Cross Flag in red and green.[5] Also known in a version with a white fimbriation of the green cross in a style similar to design of the Norwegian flag.
Tricolour in yellow, green and red Very similar to the Flag of Lithuania. A frequent interpretation is that the colours represent the kings of Denmark (red), the dukes of Schleswig (yellow) and the islands itself (green).
The Jutland flag is a symbol of the Jutland's influence on the most south-eastern part of Britain, which they settled together with the Angles and Saxons in the 5th century.
The green colour symbolises the island's importance as the 'pantry of Denmark'. The blue represents the island itself, and the red its strong ties to Denmark.[9]
In the flag books this is labelled 'Danish in West Indies'. No official sources can tell us what the flag was, and that the flag is *not* the colonial ensign of the Danish West India. However, he argues that the flag was hoisted as a courtesy ensign on the foretop mast by ships bound for the colony.
