Today marks 20 years since Georgia changed its flag! They got rid of a, IMO quite ugly, brown flag, replacing it with the much prettier red and white flag of the medieval Kingdom of Georgia. (files.catbox.moe)
The current flag dates back to the middle ages, maybe as far as the 12th century. This makes it not only one of the youngest national flags of the world (since 2004), but also one of the oldest! (Even if it has been in disuse for most of its history.)...

Flag map of Japanese prefectures. What do you think of the flags, unique and aesthetically pleasing designs, or glorified logos on single color backgrounds? (images2.imgbox.com)

Vestland Coat of Arms -Norway (upload.wikimedia.org)
Not sure if Coat or Arms are allowed but I really love the design. Vestland in Norway is famous for the fjords and I think the design captures this really well.

Trapezoids at the hoist side is a quite rare feature on flag, existing in the shadow of many triangles. What do you think about it? (images2.imgbox.com)
In my opinion a triangle generally looks better, but the trapezoid flags definitely gets points for distinctness, which shouldn’t be underestimated.

Today (November 3) marks 45 years since Dominica adopted its flag. It is the only national flag using the color purple outside a coat of arms. (El Salvador and Nicaragua have purple in their CoA). (upload.wikimedia.org)
(Since you almost need a magnifying glass to see the small purple fields in the rainbows of the flags of El Salvador and Nicaragua, I think they barely count.)...

Today marks 17 years without the old flag of Lesotho. I still kind of miss it, and finds the new one much more boring and bland. It was also (arguably) the only national flag using brown, besides CoA (upload.wikimedia.org)
