The Partai Keadilan Sejahtera ("Prosperous Justice Party," PKS) seems to have
at least two flags in use: white with logo and electoral symbol (the number 8),
and a much flashier design with the logo in a shield with white and orange rays
emanating from it. There is also a line of text above the shield on the latter,
but I cannot make it out.

On another flag which the party has used in the 2009 election campaign, the
party logo is placed between the party name initials, arranged vertically, and
the electoral symbol (number 8). The Wikipedia image:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IndonesianPartyFlags.jpg which is composed
of several photos of Indonesian political flags flown in Jakarta during the
campaign, shows that the whole device is set off-centre, close to the fly edge.
The folded top fly corner of the flag reveals that this is not just an optical
illusion produced by the flag's fluttering in the wind.

Here is another flag of the Prosperous Justice Party, a political party from
Indonesia. It is a variant of the flag already described. Another variant of
this flag, with number 8 in gold and fimbriated black, was seen in a brief block
of news reports without comments, which was broadcast in Serbia by B-92 TV
station on 2011-03-28 about 20:00. The report was from the protests, which took
place in Jakarta a day earlier, against the current NATO military intervention
in Libya. In the sea of flags with this or similar design, only this one was
shown long enough to be well determined, but their number, as well as the
seeming absence of other parties' flags, suggests that the protests were
organized and attended by the supporters of the Prosperous Justice Party.

Basic variant of the flag, without the election symbol and party name
initials on white field, is shown here:

The Justice Party (Partai Keadilan) was reconstituted in 2002 as the
Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera). The emblem of the
reconstituted party is obviously derived from that of its predecessor, which is
shown at:
