The presidential standard of Argentina, when on land, is a dark blue field, with four white stars on the four corners of the flag, and the country's coat of arms in the center. The flag has proportions of 1:1. When afloat, the presidential standard's proportions are 2:3, the field is in a lighter shade of blue, and both the stars and coat of arms are made bigger.

The colors represent the sky and the clouds with the sun in the middle, the sun is called the sun of May, in reference to the May revolution, which marked the beginning of their independence from Spain. Legend has it that when a new government was proclaimed, the sun broke through the clouds, and it was perceived as a good omen.
