Stovetop, in Which tricolor flag do you think is the ugliest, considering only the color combination? Here are some candidates that I have found.

I think the Nicaraguan flags actually look kinda nice.

I’ll give the award for worst tricolor to Gelderland in the Netherlands.

This one actually isn't that bad imo. It following the rule of tincture—separating "metals" (yellow & white) from "colors" (red, green, blue, purple, & black)—definitely helps

#1: Raise the banner of the Vanilla Ice Cream League!

#1 kinda nice imo

Toss up between 2 and 3. That red stripe just seems a bit too bold.

rockSlayer, in 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).

It a cool flag, but the complexity of that charge is bothering me. I feel like it could be simplified with a single green star behind a purple silhouette of the bird

Ejh3k, in Redesign of the flag of Chad (so we don't confuse it with Romania any more). The waves symbolize Lake Chad, the rising sun a new beginning.

And Charlie brown.

j4yt33, in Today is the anniversary of the independence of Turkmenistan in 1991. Soon after, a new flag was adopted. With its carpet patterns, Turkmenistan possibly has the world's most complex national flag

Definitely my favourite! Kazakhstan is a close second

j4yt33, in Flag map of Japanese prefectures. What do you think of the flags, unique and aesthetically pleasing designs, or glorified logos on single color backgrounds?

They kinda look like Linux OS logos

Artifexian makes a bunch of awesome content in general, though it's mainly related to conlanging and worldbuilding

reddig33, in The 6 finalists for Minnesota's new state flag

Any explanation as to what these are supposed to symbolize?

I am curious, what is the story behind “L’étoile du nord” ?

litchralee, (edited )

It translates as The Star of The North, or The North Star, in reference to the position of Minnesota as the northern-most contiguous US State, because of the small bit that sticks up higher than the 48th Parallel (aka The Northwest Angle).

It’s gotta be this one if they’ve got any sense.

surewhynotlem,

That’s beautiful.

WHARRGARBL,

Agreed. The other designs resemble corporate medical/biotech/pharma logos, which are big in Minnesota, but don’t belong on the flag.

Imo, F1953 is also pretty good, though that one's also nice.

What has me a bit disappointed is that the North Star Flag wasn't a finalist. I prefer it to all of the 6 here.

frank,

I do too, the North Star is my favorite. I like the other one you linked, I guess we have similar flag preferences

When you don’t know which main color to use so you just use your subpixel layout

uservoid1, in [UPDATED] My fictional flag

It may look better with one blue diagonal line instead of the current river like stripe. The emblem could be put in the middle if keeping its size, or put in the upper left side with smaller size

sarmale,

Looking into making the river more simplist

AchillesUltimate, in [UPDATED] My fictional flag

Pretty cool. The emblem is a little complex (but looks cool, so whatever), and the lack of geometry in the blue river is frustrating, but it’s overall cool looking.

sarmale,

Updated it a little
