Zastava Evrope
Na pozacini plavog neba, zvijezde poređane u simbolišu jedinstvo. Broj zvjezda na zastavi se ne mijenja - ima ih dvanaest, što simboliše savršenstvo i potpunost i aludira na apostole, sinove Jakova, Herkulesove podvige, dvanaest mjeseci u godini, itd.
Od svog osnivanja 1949. godine Savjet Evrope svjestan je potrebe da se Evropi da simbol u kome će se moći prepoznati njeni stanovnici. Dana 25. oktobra 1955. godine Parlamentarna skupština jednoglasno je kao amblem usvojila krug zlatnih zvjezdica na plavoj pozadini. Dana 9. decembra 1955. godine Komitet ministara Sajveta Evrope usvojio je zastavu sa zvjezdicama koja je i zvanično podignuta 13. decembra iste godine u Parizu.
Simbol čitave Evrope
Evropski parlament je 1983. godine usvojio zastavu koju je osmislio Savjet Evrope i predložio da ona postane grb Evropskih zajednica. Evropski savjet dao je svoje odobrenje za to u junu 1985. godine da bi institucije Evropske unije počele ovu zastavu da koriste već 1986. godine.
Od tada je zastava Evrope sinonim za zajednički politički projekat koji ujedinjuje sve Evropljane, bez obzira na njihove različitosti.
