Good Flag: Tulsa, Oklahoma
I have two things to say about this flag. At first, it looks like a design on a wall you’d see at some recently established burger restaurant in the Midwest, and I wouldn’t be too surprised if that is what it was based off of. Then, it looks like a redesign for the state flag of Oklahoma, which is not very good. And of those … Continue reading Good Flag: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Bad Flag: Côte d’Ivoire
So this flag looks like it belongs as a good flag post, but I chose it as a bad one for reasons you’ll see. First up, you used a tricolor, which is unoriginal when you’re in Africa, but, um, it’s been done before. By Ireland. And they had it first. Yes, Côte d’Ivoire has an unoriginal flag design, which makes these two flags confusable, up … Continue reading Bad Flag: Côte d’Ivoire
Good Flag: Nauru
This will probably be my shortest post yet, but here goes… *inhale* I don’t have much about to say about this flag except for this: This is actually a map! The star is Nauru, the yellow line is the equator (Nauru is one degree below the equator), and I bet you can’t guess what the blue stands for… Continue reading Good Flag: Nauru
Bad Flag: Bastrop County, Texas
The following is what I think happened when they were making this county flag (enjoy): COUNTY EXECUTIVE: All the other Texas counties are getting flags, why shouldn’t we?! BAD FLAG DESIGNER: I can do that, sir! I will make a flag that shall proudly fly over the Bastrop County courthouse! COUNTY EXECUTIVE: Excellent! This flag’ll beat the cow crud out of the other county flags! … Continue reading Bad Flag: Bastrop County, Texas
Good Flag: Bavaria, Germany
When I see this flag, I can’t help but think of the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” … This flag is actually very good. It’s like the Indy 500 checkered flag but at a different angle and recolored. I can see why the Germans chose this rhombus flag (with 22 diamonds, methinks),in order to OB-viously highlight their Bavarian Cream Donuts. Though said … Continue reading Good Flag: Bavaria, Germany
Bad Flag: Massachusetts, USA
401 years ago, pilgrims and Native Americans both settled down and had the first Thanksgiving. This was held in what is now Massachusetts. I’ve been to Boston before, and it is great. The flag of the state Boston is in though, is not… Mainly, we have the problem of white space, and in art and flag designing, white space=not good. But now we examine the … Continue reading Bad Flag: Massachusetts, USA
Good Flag: Aruba
Aruba is a wonderful territory vacation, and their flag may honestly be even better than the tourism. This is the best flag EVER made. It’s simple, it uses a good color palette, and it is well-designed. First we have the four-pointed star. Usually, stars on flags come in five or even six points, but FOUR? Very nice. Next we have the yellow lines on the … Continue reading Good Flag: Aruba
Bad Flag: Iribarren Municipality, Venezuela
There’s a TON of stuff on this flag, and today you will see me decode it. *ahem* First up, we have the gray and dark gray backgrounds. Gray is a boring color, and the tones don’t really matter to the flag. Next we have the seal in the top left corner. That would be very bad, but it could be a reference to the state … Continue reading Bad Flag: Iribarren Municipality, Venezuela
Good Flag: Wales
This is a marvelous (if not fantasy-like) flag. First up, we have an awesome-looking dragon, known in Wales as the Y Ddraig Goch, which is already good. But now we have the dragon on the Welsh landscape, with it looking like it’s main goal is destruction posing for a British subdivision flag. I mean, seriously. How cool of a flag. It’s unfortunate that the Welsh … Continue reading Good Flag: Wales
