The presidential standard is a white background with two borders of blue and red, with the Slovenian coat of arms in the center.

The flag of the National Assembly's president uses a blue border over a red background, with the national coat of arms also in the center. The flag of the prime minister swaps the colors of the border and background.

The same thing goes for the flags of the Minister of Defense and the Chief of General Staff, which swap the Slovenian emblem for the one of the Slovenian Army.

Both the naval jack and the armed forces flag use the Slovenian tricolor. The naval jack swaps the red for yellow, while the armed forces flag adds the emblem of the Slovenian emblem, and some text around it in yellow, which translates to "Republic of Slovenia - Slovene Army".
