Vinland flag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vinland flag is a contemporary flag first used by the musical group Type O Negative to encompass a variety of front man Peter Steele's interests and political beliefs[1], including his own Icelandic heritage. [2] The flag appears on various Compact Disc covers by the group, sometimes with the slogan "made in the People's Technocratic Republic of Vinland", and adorns various pieces of Type O Negative merchandise.
Subsequently, the symbol has gained use by various groups in North America, including vendors, some Germanic neopagan groups and political groups who identify the short-lived Viking colony of Vinland (11th Century) with certain areas within the modern nations of Canada and the United States.
The flag is designed in the style of a Nordic Cross flag, with a green field and a black cross with white fimbriation (the green and black being a common color scheme for Type O Negative).
