Orbitur campings

image by António Martins, 18 Dec 2005

Orbitur is a formerly state-owned camping park network company. It operates thirty something caping sites in Portugal, and its flag can be seen hoisted at their entrances, usually along with the national flag, the EU flag, the appropriate municipal flag and, sometimes, the approriate communal flag.

The Orbitur company flag is light blue with the logo centered on it (about 1/3rd of the width and 2/3rds of the height), surrounded by a narrow blue stripe. The logo shows a red triangle pointing upwards notched in a (dark) blue area with a triangular gap pointing downwards and almost meeting the red traingle’s top. All this in a white very stylized shield (a rectangle with its bottom corner slightly rounded) on whose “chief” the lettering "ORBITUR" is set in heavy sans-serif blue capitals. The red triangle seems to symbolize a camping tent. The reverse of the hoisted flag, as usual for such flag, is unreadable ("ЯUTIƐЯO").
