Currently there is no presidential flag in Equatorial Guinea.
Some time ago (1986) the presidency of the Equatorial Guinea requested a creation of a presidential standart. Tomas Rodriguez and Antonio Manzano make three official proposals that were presented to Teorodo Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. I don't know if anyone was elected because the relations between Spain and Equatorial Guinea were cooled afterwards.
In the three banners were appearing three colonel stars that was the grade that president Obiang had in the army (in the Spanish army I suppose, since he obtained his title in Spain). The six stars are not explained, but they should correspond to the districts. The tree, whose name in English do not know (in Spanish is "CEIBA") figure in the national shield. In the design one of red background is mentioned that the tree and the stars were bordered by some branches of cocoa plant, but was not published their design.
