Hey guys welcome back to me contradicting myself in the same video by disliking flags with text and animals but also simultaneously liking them! (Also apparently 'horizontalization' IS a word?)

Things flag would be forbbiden: text, coat of arms, more than 5 colors and to complex draws. simplicity and meaning are important over everything else.

[@dstinnettmusic]

There are always exceptions. The vexillology association has a list of recommended design concepts and that list includes something along the lines of "you don't have to follow these rules as gospel, if it looks good it looks good" The flag of the US State of Maryland is the best example of this.

[@mafv4091]

@@dstinnettmusic the flag of Maryland has no text, no coat of arms and 4 colors, it's a bit messed cause it's a Quartered flag. Yet it didn't brake the rules I just commented.

[@dstinnettmusic]

@@mafv4091 I'm just using it as an example of a flag typically seen as breaking the rules of flag design but still looking nice. For example, it isn't easy to identify from far away if you don't already know it, it is hard to draw, it literally is a coat of arms (or at least based in the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore), it uses a tacky combination of colors. And yet it works. My point still stands that you can make a good flag even if you don't follow the "rules" of flag design. Edit: so the flag of Maryland is actually based on the coats of arms for the Calvert and Crossland families, who Sir George Calvert belonged to both of (the Crossland family being George's mother's family) so this flag has to Coats of Arms!

[@arkhaon]

I don’t know man... some of those flags disrespect the 5 basics of flag design completely... especially when it comes to simplicity... also, never ever use texts, sigils or coat of arms in official nations flags. They are meant to be looked at from up close, not when waving in the wind.

[@arkhaon]

Alin Ardelean well... thats why Mexicos flag is not that good... the green red white is good, but the seal in the middle? Not really... simplify the bird and leave the rest out, and its much better

[@scottrains9638]

Those five rules are more like suggestions. I was talking to a friend today about this kinda thing and I really don't like a lot of people over simplifying things because a) they all use similar templates and b) all use the same program, so sigils or coats of arms are good if done right, because they really show who's who.

[@arkhaon]

scoot. Then use meaningful symbols that are easy to recognize. There are reasons for those five rules

[@arkhaon]

scoot. The problem with coats of arms or sigils is they weren’t meant for flags. They were meant for use on paper, where you can see the details very well. For a flag that has to be very visible, even over greater distances, using sigils or coats of arms makes no sense. I would rather pick one central element, simplify it and put it on the flag instead of the whole sigil or coat of arms

[@mrewan6221]

@Arkhaon I agree with you. Most of these are just ghastly, and look like they're logos to be used in glossy fashion magazines, in good light. Most of them break the 5 basic rules, and many of them break the basic rule of heraldry (which applies equally to vexillology): "No metal on metal, nor colour on colour". On an overcast day, at a distance, most of these "creations" will just look like a random blur.

[@zoom6751]

11:46 As a Greek, i wanna say that that Greek flag was so simple, but so appealing. When you said that the flag was a mess, i will have to disagree just a tat bit there. It was a simple flag. A cross on the top right, representing Orthodox Christianity, and the 9 stripes that it has are actually suppose to represent the words: "Freedom or Death" (Ελευθερία ή θάνατος) from the Greek revolution of 1821.The re-design takes that away, but retains the Cross representing Orthodox Christianity, but added olive branches surrounding it, which is a nice touch if i do say so myself Edit: Sorry i realised it was the coat of arms. My mistake

6:37 actually the stars position on Brazilian flag present the constellations that could be seen at the sky in the night the Republic was "Proclaimed" (it was a coup d'etat actually) the Imperial Brazilian Flag used to use a cyrcle with stars to represent the brazilians (states) province, just like this one.

[@mrlborges]

Mak FV The only thing I’d do to improve the Brazilian flag would be removing the text, maybe even the band. The circle representing the night sky of November 15 of 1889 over Rio is a perfect design and concept. The version showed in the video is just plain ugly... Sorry.

[@aaronsakulich4889]

At 0:44, the panama one with the canal going through it is by far my favorite!

[@bigbrowntau]

Two basic design requirements that need to be seen in flags: 1) The ability to recognize it from a distance and 2) Simplicity. You want a flag a child can draw with coloured pencils, and you want one that is distinctive enough, with sufficient clarity. A really good example of a flag that fits this is the Chicago flag. Simple, clean lines, anybody can draw it. That means it can be used on a variety of objects easily. One reason we see such simple, bold colours in flags is the background in medieval heraldry. The concepts of "Metal on colour/ Colour on metal" work extremely well.

_I just couldn't believe it!! Aside being one of the winners, seeing my flag in the thumbnail is so overwhelming and hearing from you saying,_ *_"this was honestly one of my favourites of all"_* _My country Philippines had been mold through series of colonisation and occupation. Each of the four elements in my flag has a meaning reperesenting the four heritage (Austronesian, European, American, Asian) that marked in the identity of my country. The yellow sky represents the Malay Heritage of Austronesian native islanders. The Human faced Sun represents the Hispanic Culture which is very evident in the Philippines particularly in religion. The Stripes represents the American influence bringing democracy to the country. The red half circle represents the Japanese occupation introducing the Asianization of the archipelago. The whole flag depicts the sun setting in the western shores that is very common scenery in the Philippines especially in the Capital Manila._

[@kagenlim5271]

As a Singaporean with familial links to Malaysia, that Malaysian flag is atrocious. Firstly, It makes no sense. Green would make more sense than blue (after all Malaysia is tropical and Its national religion is Islam). Secondly, removing the stripes would ignore the historical significance of the stripes, which were taken from the East India Company's flag as a nod to Malaysia's colonial past. I propose a flag of green and blue, to represent the jungle and sky and the straits settlement crest, with nine crowns as opposed to 3, to represent the sultans of Malaysia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_Settlements And 13 spikes radiating out of the crest to represent the 13 states of Malaysia.

7:54 Green would probably represent connection to Muslim world ( since a lot of them are muslims ) 8:05 About our new flag, there is a lot of comments about 'new' style of our coat of arms, so this would probably be good idea but with coat of arms that was in use until 2010. ( The original one, not new masonic one) And, since our flag is basicly Russian flag upside down ( and yea it is, since that most of serbian ships in period of ww1 was w/o flag, Serbian sailors used russian flag as russian fleet was strong, and just to be clear which is which. they used to fly it upside down as to most people would be still Russian flag and those ships would be avoided ) . Hence, Serbia actually do have its older flags, yellow feild with red eagle on it ( Search Nemanici dynasty online ) . Otherwise, we really need part two of this since this is absolutly amazing video to watch and be part of it.

I actually enjoyed making my flag. I did it by hand but didn't submit it.

I'm sad I didn't know about this, I'm a wannabe vexillophile, I wish I could have joined! But congratulations to everyone anyway!

remove the bird, and the flag is pretty much the flag of the Lezgins. they live up in the Caucasian Mountains, split mostly between southern Dagestan and northeastern Azerbaijan. in ancient times, it is told that they ruled a vast kingdom spanning the Caucasus. such a height did their civilization reach, we can find the remnants of a Lezgin writing system. I am quite confused as to why the artist combined the flag of Lezgistan with the flag of Albania, though I do have a murky suspicion. see, the Caucasian Kingdom of old also was called 'Albania.' though I doubt if the Lezgins, descendants of the long-lost civilization, have any ethnic ties with the modern Albanians.
