Description of the Flag

I found in a book a flag for the Nordic council which is white with five white stylized swans on a blue disc.

The Nordic Council logo is put on a white filed. The logo is supposed to be five swans. Zeljko mentioned stamps commemorating the Nordic Council having five natural-looking swans. This was an early symbol of Nordic cooperation, but I do not know whether it was official in any way. I suppose the swans flying together in formation represented the cooperation between the countries, all heading in the same direction. I don't know when the flag was adopted, or what the official proportions are. I used 2:3 for the image.
