First up, sorry I skipped Tuesday for this post, just got back from a 4-day NYC vacation and arrived home in Iowa at like 8:30 CST, and we had to unpack and all that… so yeah Anyhoo, on with the post. This is the best Canadian subdivisional flag in my opinion. What’s not to like? Quebec is basically a French Canada that is worthy of … Continue reading Good Flag: Quebec, Canada
This is the worst subdivisional Canadian flag in my opinion. First up we have four random trees. I don’t know who planted them there or their importance, but what I DO know is that it looks like an illustration from an old children’s book. Next we have this weird lion thing at the top. This flag raises some questions about lions, but my main one … Continue reading Bad Flag: Prince Edward Island, Canada
No doubt about it, this flag is one of the best in the Union. I can certainly tell that some other flags can learn from this one. First up, we have the radiant orange star, with all the yellow-and-red points extending from it. That does make it look like Arizona has a bright future! Then, there’s the blue ground on the bottom half of the … Continue reading Good Flag: Arizona
This flag seems like one of the flags that people know SO MUCH about in one state of the country, but not in the other 49. As an Iowan, I will not only give this flag a good rating, but I will show you what it means (because, after all, this flag flies everywhere in The Moines). BLUE BACKGROUND: The Des Moines River WHITE THINGS: … Continue reading Good Flag: Des Moines, Iowa
Okay, so this may be my first (and hopefully, my only) controversial post. Many people (even the flag designer) do not like this flag because: A) it looks like some random university team, or B) it looks like the Arby’s logo. But personally, I think this flag is nice! And, it obeys every rule in flag designing: Keep It Simple. It is simple, with its … Continue reading Good Flag: Calgary, Canada
This is, in my opinion, the worst flag in the United States. But I guess, like the Chicago Cubs, Nevada had some bad luck with designing flags. Take a look at this: Yeah. So, let’s look at the flag. First of all, they used blue with some kind of seal, which isn’t even an original design. But then, they didn’t even bother putting it in … Continue reading Bad Flag: Nevada, USA
Belize, this flag is wayyyy too complicated. Your flag has the most colors out of any national flag, with 12. Perhaps you need a refresher from the NAVA Handbook of designing flags: 1: Keep it simple. 3: Use no more than two or three basic colors. 4: Avoid lettering, seals or coats of arms. Perhaps your flag designer could make the flag better by removing … Continue reading Bad Flag: Belize
