In modern times, in order to have a flag, a first green banner appeared with a blue stripe at the bottom, the design is attributed to the state government of Vicente Fox, in 1996. It continued to be evaluated and discussed, but It never had official legislation; at the end of the governor's term, the government flag ceased to be used and valid among the people of Guanajuato state.

On December 20, 2023, the first official state flag was established, to celebrate the 200 years of the creation of the state of Guanajuato. The state congress designated December 20 as Flag Day of the State of Guanajuato. On this date, the authorities carry out civic days in commemoration, respect and exaltation of the state flag.
