As you can probably guess from the image I gave this post, my favorite is the flag of Bhutan. The yellow & orange create a distinctive & satisfying background, and the dragon in the center makes for a strong focal point that doesn't clash with the background due to its simple color palette.
A close second would probably be the flag of South Africa. The pattern and colors here are just really nice, dunno what else to say.
Probably not that unique, but mine is the Canadian flag. The red and white with the maple leaf is just so pleasant to look at! Also, due to the simple two color design, they have implemented it beautifully in their governmental branding and stuff. Simply gorgeous!
Agreed, the stripes are an unfortunate loss, but I’m pleased they didn’t use the “M shaped” star orientation and instead went for the star pointing north. Neither were from the original submission, but overall, the commission’s work will massively elevate the MN flag. Can’t wait to buy myself a small one for home.
I much prefer this flag for Maine compared to the current one, which is just the state's coat of arms on a blue field. It's much more unique compared to other flags and does a great job symbolizing Maine's nickname: the Pine Tree State.
It’s funny to.me that CGP grey is still a thing. I remember on his podcast (a looong time ago) talking about getting into productivity software. Iirc it went on to take him almost years before getting out any new content
He went from being under produced and fun, to over produced untimely, and kind of unbearable.
We’re different generations of CGP grey enjoyers,almost assuredly. I mean I was fan club level fan for a while (like patron, bought the swag, etc).
But success and becoming “pro” really ruined it . Yeah 8 months. That’s ridiculous for a gap. And it was longer and longer between videos for lower quality stuff. His transition to me was reflective of when YouTube stopped being a place for amateurs to share their amateur thing, and became a place where people were trying to “make it”. CPGs journey is like, that exact arc, and it ruined it. I think his AI video, the first he had that COMPLETELY blew up for him, it changed how he thought about his content and videos. He out in a lot more effoet, slowed the pace of the videos and of production, and it want from casual and delightful to produced and pedantic.
That change occured in like, 2014-15 so it’s fair if you like Grey for what it is now, but not for me.
I was also a fan back in those days too, I didn’t start listening to cortex or subscribe to Patreon until 2020ish, but I’ve been subscribed at least since the AI video, probably since “humans need not apply”. I won’t deny that his content flavor has changed, but he has adapted to the new YouTube dynamic pretty well.
