Significance of the Colors
Black, yellow, red were the colours of the Uganda People's Congress party, who came to power in elections in April 1962. The flag was adopted on the date of independence, 9 Oct 1962. To quote Whitney Smith ("Spectrum Vlaggenboek", 1975): "The three colours were intended to symbolise the people of Africa, sunshine and brotherhood. The design was made by the minister of justice, Mr Grace Ibingira." The crested crane was the flag badge of Uganda under British colonial rule.
Dylan Crawfoot, 22 Oct 1999
I spoke to Grace Ibingira (God rest his soul) and he told me he designed the Ugandan flag (he was first and foremost an artist). It was the second of two designs.

Do you mean that the current central roundel of the Uganda flag was in the fly of a blue (or red?) ensign as the local colony flag?
Antonio Martins, 24 Oct 1999

I'm not sure if it was the exact same design, but there's no reason why it wouldn't have been. Smith says the crested crane "first appeared in the colonial badge of Uganda under British rule", and Crampton simply says (in talking about the origins of the coat of arms) that the crane was the former flag-badge.
Dylan Crawfoot, 25 Oct 1999

During Uganda's turbulent recent history, the national flag has remained unaltered.

Uganda in Album2000: National Flag. CSW/CSW 2:3
Six striped flag of black-yellow-red-black-yellow-red with a crested crane in full colours in a white disk in the middle.
BTW, is the disk diameter equal to two stripes width? Or is it just a bit smaller then it?
BTW2, what's used as the naval jack?
Zeljko Heimer, 29 Aug 2002

, , and several other books, as well as the Shipmate flagchart2000 have it slightly smaller, so the disk does not touch the yellow stripes. The DK book has the disk even smaller, but that may be for educational purposes. In other words: the image of the Ugandan national flag does need a small correction IMO, after over 6 years of faithful service!
Jarig Bakker, 5 Sep 2002

On Graham Bartram's website is the Ugandan national flag with the usual proportions, but the disk is not touching the yellow stripes. Moreover there is a big cut-out of the emblem.
