That just screams 1990, but not in a good way

Edit: but seriously that's their flag? Into the trash it goes

I wish MA and Boston had better flags, tbh.





Hell, Rhode Island has a better flag.

I created a YouTube flag.

The only good post-soviet soviet flag is the Belarus one

New Hampshire has an OK flag.

People get confused why it has a boat on it though. Guess what bitch, NH still has some major shipyards, and that shit goes back centuries.

I'm surprised that the sacred heart imagery isn't used more often. This is a well know outsider artist, who had a whole realm that he based his art on similar to ADF/Phil (difference is Phil sucks at art)

If your state flag is a seal on a blue background, you should definitely go to Greenland

This thread needs more Tennessee flag...



It even makes a sweet roundel...

May I present one of the most cancerous flags I know of: Pernambuco

this was for a short period a sovereign republican state inside of Brazil for a few years after a revolt in the 1820’s and this is still the state flag to this day.

Yeah that's pretty fucking shit. The Christian flag and attempts at it are all bad.

Christian Flag - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Just complete garbage. It's not even quartered, it's squared.

That looks like that happens if you tired to scan a picture of a cross. No idea how people can avoid the temptation to put it on the middle, maybe it’s to symbolize the left hand that Jesus’s was nailed to the cross or some shit.

Fun fact: the crosses are almost always red to symbolize the “blood of Christ”, blue for the unclouded sky (heaven) and white for “purity and innocence”

It's likely due to the author being an American and just going off the American flag design without really understanding any of the components of it.

Even just running the cross against the hoist makes it way better.


Kind of reminds me of the Confederate flags though.

2014 Brooklyn Bridge white flag prank/piece

White on white American flag

Eh honestly while it aint exactly a masterpiece I always kinda liked the Papal States idea of a "christian flag"

Simplify the design a bit, maybe just have an undetailed key/mitre icon in gold and you would have a decent enough catholic flag

As for corner-canton design flags like burgerland, I still think the OG east india company had the best one

It's called the flag of the Holy See.


The problem is that it's very strictly catholic. All of that is Catholic Iconography. It's not usable for greater Christendom.

Greek Orthodox has a flag that is used.

was bored and ranked the state flags, was thinking to do a european flag one but most of them are crosses or 3 bars and comes down to liking the color scheme.

the Floridian flag is terrible, stealing your neighbor's flag and slapping your seal on it

and this should have been the Canadian flag instead of that boring leaf flag

deeeeeeeeeeeerp

 

[Null]

That is by far the most autistic and shitty ranking guide I have ever seen for anything.

 

[Fools Idol]

I know they're not real but I do like the Ace Combat flags. Osea is my favourite.

Every state I've lived in, the flag is a blue background and the seal has a river in it.

I like Montana's flag version of the seal better than the actual seal, I just wish it wasn't the whole flag.

California's flag is fucking trash, and considering the "California Republic" only declared itself independent from Mexico once it was securely in US Army hands, that's more something to be embarassed rather than proud of.

New Mexico best flag for one of the shittiest states.

 

[Things Better Forgotten]

State seal+blue background is just such a shit design. States like Tennessee, Arizona, or Iowa make use of the opportunity to express the state's culture or history.



Check out Michigan and New York here. You can't tell them apart from a distance. There's nothing catchy or fun about them at all.

Fun fact, the star on California's flag represents the Texas.
