image by Eugene Ipavec, 1 September 2008The Slovene Community (Comune Slovena, Slovenska skupnost, SSk) is a minor
Italian regionalist party founded in 1963. Representing the Slovene minority of
Slavia Veneta, in the rural areas of Udine province, it is Christian-democratic
in tendency.
The party logo is defined in its statute at
http://www.slovenskaskupnost.org/Statut.aspx:
Article 2 (emblem)
The emblem of the SSk is a blue lime sprig in a circle with the
words "Slovene Community," which are red in color, while the background is
white.
The SSk uses its flag only very infrequently; it can be seen on
pages 10 and 13 of the photo gallery at at
http://www.slovenskaskupnost.org/Galerija.aspx. The flag has a white disc
thinly bordered blue in the upper fly with the blue lime sprig from its logo,
but no red circle or inscriptions. From this disc there radiate three rays in
the colors of the Slovene national flag.

There is also an
"inadvertent flag," being a vertical banner-oid printed on plastic cloth
which seems to invite taping to a stick to use as a flag at outdoor events
and whatnot, even though it is not designed for it. It carries the party seal
and below it the motto "Za vse nas" ("For us all").
The
photos on the party website also show several examples what I take to be
gonfanons of area municipalities.
