About the Flag

SP (Sozialdemokratische Partei der Schweiz)

PS (Partito socialista svizzero)
(Social-Democratic Party of Switzerland / Swiss Socialist Party)

The Socialist Party is currently the second-biggest party in Switzerland, having 52 seats in the 200-seat lower chamber of the Swiss Parliament (Nationalrat = National Council). Two SP members are ministers in the federal government (Bundesrat = Federal Council). The party has a social democratic program.

German Language Flags

[Sozialdemokratische Partei, Switzerland] image by Tomislav Todorovic, 5 December 2015
based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_der_Sozialdemokratischen_Partei_der_Schweiz_2009,_single.svg

Current German language flag is white, with ratio 1:1, charged with the current logo: a red "semi-regular" hexagonal shape with rounded corners, charged with white initials SP set off-center, closer to its left edge. The logo occupies most of the flag field.

Former German language flags

[Sozialdemokratische Partei, Switzerland] image by M. Schmöger, 28 November 2006

In the German-speaking part the logo contains a red acute accent, the party abbreviation (in black) and the party name (in black) on a white field [1]. This logo is also used, although rarely, on square flags [2].

Another German language flag is red, charged with a white acute accent and the party name abbreviation in black, above a long black panel with the pointed hoist end, which bears the inscription *klar. sozial* ("Clear. Social"). The flag was photographed in Zurich, on 200906-06, with the photos available at https://www.flickr.com/photos/fusion68k/3618509108/, https://www.flickr.com/photos/zeus/3621573772/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/zeus/3620762999/.

Former French language flags

[FDP, Switzerland]   [prd, Switzerland] images by M. Schmöger, 28 November 2006

The French-speaking part uses a different logo incorporating the rose-in-the-fist [1], that is or has been used by a lot of socialist parties. I have found two variants of the flag: one being red with the rose-in-the-fist at the hoist and the inscription "Parti Socialiste" (in black) [3][4][5][6]; the other one also red with the rose-in-the-fist at the hoist and the letters "P" and "S" in the fly (in white) [7].

Local flag variants

I have found several local flags of the Socialist Party:

[PS flag, Switzerland] image by M. Schmöger, 29 November 2006

1. The flag of the Geneva section. This is white and shows the section logo in the center. The logo consists of three red circles with (from left) a white rose-in-the-fist, the letter "p" and the letter "s"; under the circles the black inscription "les socialistes" (the socialists).

3. The historical flag of the Bern-Nord section. This flag is square, red, with a golden fringe. The reverse (I have no info on the obverse) shows an historical party symbol (yellow circle with yellow stylized letters "SPS" for "Sozialdemokratische Partei der Schweiz" = "Social Democratic Party of Switzerland") in the canton and the black inscription "BERN-NORD" in the bottom.
