^TheFAME is a site devoted to vexillological and heraldic study of Croatia, my home country, and neighboring countries, as well as of those historical states with whom the history of Croatia is intertwined. These include the present countries Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro. The list is not complete and may be expanded depending on the availability of information and my ability to process it. The flags and arms shown on these pages include not just the national and well-known, but also flags and arms used in all parts of society, from government and military organizations, to the subnational local authorities, non-governmental organizations and movements and even to separatist movements. It shows flags and arms used to symbolize different functions in society, positions and ranks, but it also includes those used for various signaling purposes. I hope you shall find these pages interesting, and that you'll learn something from them, but most of all I hope you shall have fun browsing though them. I shall appreciate all your responses, regarding the quality presented material, corrections and additions, as well as I am grateful for any suggestions and contributions that would make this site better and more accurate.

Cordially,

^TheFAME su veksilolo�ke i heraldi�ke stranice posve�ene prou�avanju zastava i grbova u Hrvatskoj, zemlji u kojoj �ivim, te u njezinim susjednim zemljama, kao i onim povijesnim dr�avama s �ijom je povijesti hrvatska povijest isprepletena. To uklju�uje dana�nje zemlje Bosnu i Hercegovinu, Sloveniju, Austriju, Mad�arsku, Srbiju i Crnu Goru. Popis se time ne iscrpljuje i lako se mo�e pro�iriti ovisno o dostupnim informacijama i mojom sposobnosti da ih obradim. Zastave i grbovi prikazani na ovim stranicama nisu samo nacionalni i dobro poznati, nego i zastave i grbovi koje koriste razni dijelovi dru�tva, od dr�avne uprave i vojnih organizacija, preko jedinica lokalne uprave i samouprave, pa do nevladinih organizacija i pokreta, pa i onih sa separatisti�kim te�njama. Prikazani su zastave i grbovi koje se koriste za razli�ite svrhe u dru�tvu, od onih koje ozna�avaju polo�aj i �in pa do takvih koje slu�e za signalizaciju. Nadam se da �ete na ovim stranicama nai�i na zanimljivosti, da �ete iz njih pone�to nau�iti, i najva�nije da �ete se dobro zabaviti prolaze�i kroz njih. Bit �u zahvalan za sve va�e reakcije, �to se ti�e kvalitete prikazanog materijala, za ispravke i dodatke, kao i za sve sugestije i priloge koji �e mi omogu�iti da ove stranice budu bolje i to�nije.
