I don’t mean to offend any Navajo Native Americans out there. Really. You’re great folks. But your flag skills could use a little sharpening up… The North American Vexillological Association, in their book Good Flag, Bad Flag, puts this as a bad example, with the words, “Over 20 graphic elements overwhelm the viewer and none are large enough to be seen easily.” TWENTY. So, NN, … Continue reading Bad Flag: Navajo Nation
This flag honestly kinda looks like a circus thing, like a circus mat or banner or anything else. But, nonetheless, it looks cool. My only beef is that it is asymmetrical, and that is due to the nutmeg on the left. Some people think that is a printing error (or something else), but that is an incredibly simplified nutmeg, adding on the the meaningless of … Continue reading Good Flag: Grenada
City of Jacksonville or city of Cowboyville? Continue reading Bad Flag: Jacksonville, Florida
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
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
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
Today, we have something special. The tiny French territory of St. Martin located in the Carribean, sharing an island with the Dutch Sint Maarten has two flags, neither of which are official. Here’s flag one: It contains a bunch of stuff, like a bird and a flower, and what may be butterflies. Medieval text on top, gradients all over, this flag basically is a seal … Continue reading DUAL POST! Bad Flag: St. Martin, France
For those of you people not from USA, I specifically chose this flag because as I am writing this, it is currently election night, where we will be electing one of these two people from office: Former president Donald Trump or current Vice President Kamala Harris to be our nation’s 47th president. Sure, sure, this flag is rather busy, what with 50 stars and 13 … Continue reading Good Flag: United States
Happy Halloween everyone! Today is the day where we go in costumes and get loaded on candy. In preparation of this event, I will post a flag that is so bad it’s scary. Are you ready to see the flag? If you are afraid of bad flags now, then I urge you to turn away. But if you are brave enough, then scroll down. IF … Continue reading HALLOWEEN SPECIAL FLAG: Detroit, Michigan
At a first glance, you might think the writer forgot today was Tuesday, not Thursday. Or maybe he just doesn’t know what makes a flag good anymore. My answer to those theories: WRONG. Sure, this flag is bad, with writing and a seal and even the state’s full name on it, but it’s not what’s on the front, it’s what’s on the back… That’s right, … Continue reading Good Flag: Oregon, USA
