Can someone add some more data about how long the flag has been in use? Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong...
...but doesn't the Star of David have 6 points to it? Examination of Star of David doesn't turn anything about 5 points up, so I removed it. 68.39.174.238 08:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- Good call-- the Seal of Solomon sometimes has 5 points, but never that of David (to my knowledge). Lusanaherandraton (talk) 20:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Trinity
In Mauro Talocci's Guiode to the Flags of the World, it says that the original symbolism of the flag was connected with the Christian Trinity... AnonMoos 10:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
1996-2009
This article says the flag introduced in 1996 was used until 2009, and this is reflected by one of the files, File:Flag of Ethiopia (1996-2009).svg. The image in the file, at least, is different from File:Flag of Ethiopia.svg. Does this reflect a change in the flag (which appears to be different hues of the same basic colors) or is this just a difference between different files? It isn't clear that the flag was officially changed. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:43, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

- The difference is in the size of the emblem. In the old flag it's 1/2 of the height and in the new flag it's 2/3 of the height. However I've looked into it some more and apparently whoever uploaded that image was mistaken. The law which changed the size of the emblem took effect in 1996, not 2009: [1]. I don't know whether the 1/2 version existed for a while in 1996 or what but I'm undoing my last edit for now. Orange Tuesday (talk) 01:18, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Lion on the flag
The Lion you see on the flags here are not the correct Lion that was on the Ethiopian flag, Its very different! The lion on these flags look like a fantasy monster or a devil. Haile Selassie I Lion was realistic, all black holding a red, yellow and green banner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.228.186 (talk) 20:00, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
