The emblem of the Bulgarian fascist party, Union of Bulgarian National Legions (SBNL) utilised a variant of the version of flash and circle, replacing the swastika. This design consisted of a red background with a black circle and a white flash. Another variant was adopted by the Mosley Youth in the early 50s. Throughout the 50s and 60s multiple branch flags were adopted using a black background with a yellow Flash and Circle with the name of the branch underneath in yellow as well. The UM would go on to adopt the Flash and Circle as its symbol. Īfter being released from internment, Mosley would continue his political activities, creating the Union Movement (UM) in February 1948. The usage of any symbols by the BUF would slowly decline after the party was banned and its leadership (including Mosley) was interned on under Defence Regulation 18B. The BUF's left-wing opponents nicknamed the symbol the " flash in the pan". While there was a lack of consistency in the appearance of the Flash and Circle, such as the short-lived inverted version used in 1935, it would go on to become the main symbol of the party and was used extensively throughout 1935-1940. The symbolism of this design was meant to convey a flash of action within a circle of unity. The official colors were: a white lightning bolt ("flash") and circle, a blue roundel, and a red background. Piercy, the commander of the Fascist Defence Force designed the emblem and presented it to Oswald Mosley, the BUF's leader. Starting in the 1930s, the fasces began to be phased out in favour of the BUF's final symbol, the Flash and Circle. The flag of the British Union of Fascists, known as the "Union Banner" The reasons for this change was that the BUF wanted to emphasise its commitment to king and country through the addition of the national emblem, the other reason was to help the movement distinguish itself in foreign nations. The symbol would officially be changed in March 1934 from the plain gold fasces to a Union Flag within a shield and a fasces placed on top. Although the fasces was utilized almost exclusively by Benito Mussolini's Blackshirts, the BUF claimed that they had a right to use the symbol on the basis that the fasces was used extensively in Britain during Roman times, and that the British Empire continued to carry on the tradition of civilisation from them. The BUF was founded in 1932 and adopted the fasces as its emblem, whose bundle of sticks represents strength through unity, and whose axe represents the supreme authority of the state to which citizens owe allegiance.
