[@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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Although as graphic designs, your choices are reasonable, flags are flown in the sky, where distance from the viewer, lighting, and wind conditions can totally change the flag's appearance and therefore its effect and usefulness. The City of Milwaukee (USA) recently has created an unofficial new flag. Although up close it is okay, flying from a flagpole, it is unrecognizable! FYI: As part of New Zealand's consideration of a new flag, full size examples of each of the options were distributed to cities and flown from flagpoles for a few months, thereby not only advertising the process, but also giving people a real sense of what a new flag would look like 'in real life'.

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 am glad that I was amongst the honorable mentions with my "Before it's too late" Maldives flag at 3:48

[@skan5728]

i like that, but i think it works more as a poster

[@skan5728]

and it is very weird that it uses the current Maldives flag

[@flamesofchaos13]

Take away the letters and old flag and it's a good flag. As is it's a good poster.

[@MorpheusNS]

That Serbian flag looks cool, I would support something like that. Although the order of colours makes it look too much like the Croatian flag, the idea is great!

The Phiippine flag is hnestly good, as a filipino, I could tell you about the Sun with the face. That symbol is used on the Katipunan Flag. The katipunan was a Filipino Militant group against the Spanish Empire

[@missfilipinas2.073]

Its my design po. Orange Band - symbolizes the Austronesian/Malay Heritage of the Philippines. Navy Stripes - symbolizes the American influence. White Stripes - represents the Pacific geographic location of the islands. Red Round Sunset Lights - symbolizes the Asian geographic location of the country. The White Faced Sun - symbolizes the Hispanic Historical background of the country. (Opo symbol po iyan from one of the Katipunan Flag) Faced Sun (Sun of may) is very common in Former Spanish colonies.. Also, the whole design of the flag emitates the scenery of the Manila Sunset

[@fithri99]

No flag should have excessive symbolism, too many colours, coats of arms, and letters. Colour blocking is very important, keep it simple, should be able to be drawn by kids, can be recognised from afar, be related or be distinctive. Anyway, as a Malaysian, the flag with crescent and Keris is a better flag from the other one.

Man, to hell with easier reproduction, flags need to be beautiful, simple or complicated.

[@General.Knowledge]

I agree! I just think easier reproduction should be a factor we consider. Plus for me it usually corresponds to the most beautiful ones, I don't really like too much clutter on a flag

one of the rules of vexillology is that kids should be able to draw it

Well I think it's really cool that you're doing this and I share your passion for flags, but I have to be honest, luckily you don't get to decide which flags become official. 😁

Just one detail: Serbian should have blue on top and red on bottom. Great job, loved your video!

As soon as I seen my flag 3:25 it felt like I was gonna catch a heart attack 🤣😋😀😀

[@Безимени-э4е]

Interesting, good work! The Argentine flag is pretty good i think, it would definitely stand out. The proposal for the Serbian flag however, neglects the tradition where the stripes must be horizontal the red, blue, white order, exactly! Nevertheless the coat of arms could be simplified and put more into perspective. Still, the best flags in the world are the Swiss and Japanese. Everybody recognizes them. They are simple AF, and still radiate symbolism and power.
