RESUMO

A social phenomenon has become current in Brazil in the past twenty years: the use of items focusing on the Brazilian flag as created by designers. Considering that this kind of appropriation of the Brazilian flag is not allowed by law, its recurrence motivated, in the 90s, a plea for change in this law, still running in the Senate for approval. As a qualitative type of research, the present thesis proposes a search for the social and historical reasons that made this phenomenon to occur. It shows the graphic attributes of the Brazilian flag, which somehow stimulate its use by visual communicators. This research also fosters debates around our national symbols, and reaffirms design as an issue in the Brazilian Social Studies.
