In cultures and movements

Reformation (1525)

The reformer Thomas Müntzer (1489–1525) connected socially revolutionary claims with his religious preaching ( Genesis 9:11–17, Isaiah 40:8, 1 Peter 1:25). He is often portrayed with a rainbow banner in his hand. The Thomas Müntzer statue in the German town of Stolberg also shows him holding a rainbow banner in his hand. In the

Cooperative movement (1921)

A seven-colour rainbow flag is a common symbol of the international

In Essen, Germany in 1922, the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) designed an international co-op symbol and a flag for the first "Co-operators' Day," which was held in July 1923. After some experiments with different designs, a famous French cooperator, Charles Gide, suggested using the seven colours of the rainbow for the flag. He pointed out that the rainbow symbolized

and the power of light, enlightenment and progress. The first co-op rainbow flag was completed in 1924 and was adopted as an official symbol of the international cooperative movement in 1925. In 2001, the ICA's official flag was changed from a rainbow flag to a rainbow logo flag on a white field, to clearly promote and strengthen the cooperative image, but still use the rainbow image. Other organizations sometimes use the traditional rainbow flag as a symbol of cooperation. Like the

, this flag is a symbol of hope and peace. The seven colours from flags around the world fly in harmony. Each of the seven colours in the co-operative flag have been assigned the following meaning: * red: stands for courage * orange: offers the vision of possibilities * yellow: represents the challenge that ''green'' has kindled * green: indicates a challenge to co-operators to strive for growth of membership and of understanding of the aims and values of co-operation * light blue: suggests far horizons – the need to provide education and help less fortunate people and strive toward global unity * dark blue: suggests pessimism – a reminder that less fortunate people have needs that may be met through the benefits of cooperation * violet: is the colour of warmth, beauty, and friendship The ICA has been flying a flag with its official logo since April 2001, when its Board decided to replace the traditional rainbow flag. Its use by a number of non-cooperative groups led to confusion in several countries around the world.
