The design by Theo Jankowski and two other designers for the Namibian national flag was selected from among more than 800 other Namibians.

Born and bred in the small town of Rehoboth, Theo Jankowski entered the competition aimed at finding a suitable design that could possibly end up being the Namibian flag.
