Regions
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". 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.
Unofficial regional flags
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".[3] Denmark reserves official recognition to official flags and regional flags (områdeflag) from other jurisdictions.

|---|---|---|---|
| File:Flag of Ærø.svg | 1633—Present | Unofficial flag of Ærø | 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 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.[7] |
