# circle-flags <img src="logo.svg" alt="circle-flags animated logo" align="right">
A collection of circular SVG country flags.
## Usage
```text
https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/xx.svg
```
(Where `xx` is the [ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/) of a country).
For example, the following code:
```html
<img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/br.svg" width="48" />
<img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/cn.svg" width="48" />
<img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/gb.svg" width="48" />
<img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/id.svg" width="48" />
<img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/in.svg" width="48" />
<img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/ng.svg" width="48" />
<img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/ru.svg" width="48" />
<img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/us.svg" width="48" />
```
...produces this:<br/><br/> <img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/br.svg" width="48"> <img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/cn.svg" width="48"> <img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/gb.svg" width="48"> <img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/id.svg" width="48"> <img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/in.svg" width="48"> <img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/ng.svg" width="48"> <img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/ru.svg" width="48"> <img src="https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/us.svg" width="48">
