Pirate Party (Swedish: Piratpartiet) was founded in
2006. As the
oldest of the Pirate parties, it has been the model to similar parties
worldwide. Although currently still not represented in the Riksdag, it
has more members than many parliamentary parties and is represented in
the European Parliament since 2009.

Party flag
Flag of Pirate Party is purple, with large logo in center. The logo is
a white disk with a narrow black border, charged with a black sail on
the mast, shaped so as to resemble letter P. Photos of the flag can be
seen
here,
here
and here.
This design is copied by Pirate parties in other countries, often
unchanged, sometimes modified. Flag image is derived from the SVG image of
the party logo
from Wikipedia

A frequently used variant has smaller logo set near the hoist and the
party name inscribed in white between the logo and the fly. It is
offered for sale at the party Web shop, as shown
here
and
here.
A photo of the flag in use can be found
here.
The typeface used may vary, even on the flags offered at the party Web
shop, as shown
here.
Photos of such flags can be found

Vertical variants, with the logo at the top and the party name
inscribed between the logo and the bottom (text rotated 90 degrees
clockwise compared with the horizontal inscriptions), are very
frequently used. A less oblong sub-variant, with the inscription
closer to the logo, seems to be always hoisted like the German
/Auslegerflaggen/, only with the sleeves for both the flagpole and the
outrigger. The photos of this flag
can be found here,
here,
here, and
here.
A more oblong sub-variant, with larger distance between the
inscription and the logo, is often
hoisted like the German /Knatterflaggen/, only with the sleeve for the
flagpole, but just like the previously described flag, may also be
hoisted like the /Auslegerflaggen/ with the sleeves for both the
flagpole and the outrigger. Hoisted with the flagpole only, it is shown
here,
here, and
here;
and with both the flagpole and the outrigger, it can be seen
here and
here.
Both images are derived from the SVG image of the
party logo
from Wikipedia.
Different variants of the party flag are frequently used together, as
can be seen here,
here
and here.

At LGBT-related events, members of the party use, along with the regular flags, several variants derived from the Gay Pride / Rainbow Flag by adding the modified party logo, which consists of the sail on the mast within a ring, all in black. Flags with large logo on rainbow field, violet on the top, can be found here: http://www.annatroberg.se/2013/08/05/piratpartiet-i-prideparaden-bilder/ and here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nordenfur/9595639896/.

The logo may also be combined with the party
name, inscribed below in black. The typeface is the same as on the regular
party flag. This combination seems to be used only with red color at the top.

The party name can be inscribed beneath the logo
on vertical flags, too. This combination seems to be used only with violet
color at the left-hand side. Such flags are shown here (bottom center part of
