Flag of the HDK

The flag of the HDK is white with the symbol in the center (photos: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]).
The symbol of the HDK is a combination of several horizontal strokes in yellow, green, blue, purple and pink with a vertical stroke in red and an orange circle, all on a white field, all together forming a very stylized sketch of a person with raised arm; the name of the organization in grey and black appears on the right side.

A vertical, beach flag version is also used (photo): in this the organization's name is shown beneath the combination of strokes.
