<P> The flag of Guyana , known as The Golden Arrowhead , has been the national flag of Guyana since May 1966 when the country became independent from the United Kingdom . It was designed by Whitney Smith , an American vexillologist ( though originally without the black and white fimbriations , which were later additions suggested by the College of Arms in the United Kingdom ) . The proportions of the national flag are 3 : 5 . The colours are symbolic , with green for agriculture and forests , white for rivers and water , gold for mineral wealth , black for endurance , and red for zeal and dynamism . </P>
