The Platinum Band has its own set of symbols which cultivate its esprit de corps.

Flags

Flag of the Pillow Fortress, Platinum Band Use

Owing to the Platinum Band's position as the chief defenders of the Principality, it is entitled to use a special variant of the State Flag. The design of the flag remains the same but with the addition of a platinum fringe, representing the Band and its role protecting the Pillow Fortress.

Flag of the Platinum Band

The Flag of the Platinum Band consists of a platinum stripe (#CCCCCC) diagonally upward across a black (#000000) field. The stripe is quite literally a platinum (arm)band, and its upward orientation represents success, power, and victory, while the field represents the unknown challenges which the Band must confront in order to defend the Principality.

Flags of the Orders of the Platinum Band

Each of the seven Orders of the Platinum Band has its own flag, and all share a single design style, thus symbolizing harmony and cooperation between the Orders. A platinum (#CCCCCC) stripe one third the height of the flag is in the middle of a field consisting of the Order's official color, while one or more letters serving as abbreviation for the name of the Order is super imposed over the stripe near the fly in the color of the field, connecting the top and bottom thirds of the flag.
