Israeli flag and the six points of the Star of David represent the fact that Israel risks being attacked from there, there, there, there, there and there

Prom Night just got uglier.

D: The Canadian flag is too new looking, like a focus-group-approved corporate logo. It is bland and reeks of consensus which, while surprisingly good qualities in a nation, make for a dull flag.

This makes me really happy, because it's so true! I like how '60s it looks, though, esp. the legacy it's left on our gov't depts.

Cyprus, cos it's got the outline of the island on it. The UK flag is far too complicated

!!! surely an outline of an island is more complicated than colouring in a few lines

Bosnia & Herzogovina is all over the place! Looks like the trim from some hotel pamphlet.

Nunavut!

Very strange to have a website on a flag like that.

Ugh, Long Beach's flag is so lame.

Bosnia & Herzogovina is all over the place! Looks like the trim from some hotel pamphlet.

I believe it was more or less foisted upon the ex-warring factions of Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats by the UN High Representative or something, as a compromise (ie a design no-one could possibly like or feel represented them?).

I love the Albanian flag!

Canada's is super classic, too. There was a confusing joke about it in "Working," that short-lived sitcom starring an adult Fred Savage. Fred's boss says he wants to move to Canada because of their flag. Fred replies, "That's a maple leaf, sir." The boss was dismayed. What did he think it was supposed to be? It's obv. not a pot leaf.

New Mexico has a nice flag. It's vertically and horizontally symmetrical:

Idaho's flag is the only flag out of 50 designed by a woman. You bet they try to paint Idaho as some feminist paradise because of it. (It actually isn't, don't tell anyone!) Also, it is one fugly flag.

― Abbott (Abbott), Saturday, 8 July 2006 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

You should have seen what Pearson wanted for our flag, blue instead of red borders and three maple leafs instead of two, it was ugly. I like New Brunswick's with the crazy boat.

haha, two leaves? (and yes it is "leaves" despite how the NHL has conditioned you to spell it) seeing double back in 2001.

Not a flag, but Lincoln County's seal is killer in its simplicity:

haha I was all like wtf is that, a stovepipe hat on a tractor? and then I realized IT WAS.

It's probably my favorite piece of design.

A good thread.

it's an excellent thread and I've been subsequently spooked by being sent a pic of someone I know this morning wearing a tshirt based on the Zheleznogorsk flag
