What the flag looks like

A white field with the OIC emblem in the center: a green crescent curving round a globe drawn in green lines, with the black Kaaba at its heart.

What it means

The Kaaba, the globe and the crescent are the three elements the organisation chose to reflect the vision and mission of its new charter.

How to remember it

The OIC is a green crescent cradling a line-drawn globe with the small black cube of the Kaaba in the middle, all on plain white.
