Собствена творба. The basic layout of the horizontal stripes, and the triangle are based on the description and image in the Flag of Zimbabwe Act..

Vert, on a fess gules, fimbriated by two bars or, a bar sable, issuant from the dexter a pile argent fimbriated sable charged with a Molet of five points gules debruised by a representation of the Great Zimbabwe Bird.

—  from the Schedule associated with section #3 of the Zimbabwe Flag Act

• The Flag Act does not explicitly state the flag's aspect ratio, but the drawing in the Flag act is approximately 1:2. The ratio used in this construction sheet is exactly 1:2.

• The Flag shown at National Symbols - National Flag of Zimbabwe has a 2:3 ratio. It is not clear why it has a different ratio than the image shown in the Flag Act.

• The stripes are of equal width. This is confirmed from the description of the flag on the National Symbols website.

• From Flags of the World (FOTW): the right apex of the white triangle sits at ²⁄₃ hoist from the hoist. The fimbriation is ¹⁄₄₂ hoist. Neither of these values are explicitly stated in the Flag Act, but they agree with measurements taken from the 2:3 flag image depicted on the National Symbols website. This construction sheet adopts both values.

• The star depicted in the image in the Flag Act is not a pentagram; it is distorted with its upper arms being longer than its lower arms. The star in the image on the National Symbols web site is a standard pentagram which has been adopted by many flag manufacturers. This construction sheet uses a pentagram; it is sized and positioned based on measurements from the image on the National Symbols web site. Two of the star's inner vertices sit on the flag's horizontal centerline. For more information about the two types of stars see: w:Flag_of_Zimbabwe#Design.

• The bird used on this construction sheet is based entirely off of the bird that first appeared in File:Flag of Zimbabwe.svg on Oct 7,2020. Bevels have been rounded and other minor cosmetic fixes have been applied. The bird is very similar to the one found on the construction sheet at Southern African Vexillological Association.
