What is your favorite country flag for design and aesthetics only?

+1 for Libya (Can't believe so many people beat me to it).

All other flags are just bloat if you ask me. Libya's is simple and easy on the mind, no need to think about what all those criss-crossing lines mean or how many stars, and what they stand for etc.

Then you must be fond of the surrender flag, simple with no bloat.

I'm not even going to justify that with a proper comment.

You could at least point him here so he (and others) can see both sides of the issue.

In my opinion, a good national flag is both distinct and simple.

Examples of indistinct flags: Irish flag vs Italian flag. Green, white, & orange vs green, white & red. Basically an Irish flag can look like a faded Italian flag, and an Italian flag can look like an over-dyed Irish flag. I mean no offense to either nation, just that their flags are too similar.

As for my favorite... Well, I have to admit bias towards the United States flag. Not simple, but familiar. Other than that, the flag of Japan is very simple, and highly symbolic.

It's actually the battle flag, but is the one most associated with the CSA.

No that's the confederate flag which is still a symbol for racist hate-mongers in the American south. The Union Jack is the British flag I believe.

You are as correct in your statement as you are incorrect, sir.

He lives in North Florida, which is just....about as Deep South as you can get. He knows what he's talking about, at least from a regional standpoint.

Politics suck, by the way.

You need to do your homework before making such associations. Maybe a History class at your local community college will enlighten you.

Yeah let's not turn this thread into a racism debate, but I have lived not only in North Florida, but South Carolina as well. Undoubtedly some people can allow the confederate flag to represent their feelings of fondness for the South and its culture - which is cool, but for most people it also represents racism and oppression. Some like it for this reason, and some (like me) dislike it for this reason. If you thinks it's just a benign symbol for "State's Rights", you are deluded.

That's all I'll say about this, because I love the idea of this thread, and don't want it derailed .

Darn, Libya's flag is already posted. I love that one.

Although the flags of Japan and Somalia are nice too. Clean and simple.
