Pantone 485

Lucerne/Switzerland, view from Seebrücke,

over the lake towards Jean Nouvel's KKL congress center.

 

«Das Wappen der Eidgenossenschaft ist im roten Felde ein aufrechtes, freistehendes weisses Kreuz, dessen unter sich gleiche Arme je einen Sechstel länger als breit sind.»

(Bundesbeschluss, Dezember 1889)

 

“The coat of arms of the Swiss Confoederation [a.k.a. the flag of Switzerland] consists of an upright, freestanding, white cross on a red backdrop, the arms of which, all of the same length, are one sixth longer than wide.” (Federal resolution of December 1889; clumsily translated by yours truly.)
