It's because the flags of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua are based on the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America that was based on de Argentinian flag.

Subnational units can have lovely flags no problem, but if you have national flags that are basically the same as your neighbors, then it gets hard to signify yourselves separately at international events.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Obviously someone needs to go there and tell them that their economies are being held back by poor branding, and they need to rethink it if they want to remain competitive in this modern world. That means for example creating a unified brand identity for all the Gran Colombian successor states, but ensuring each is still distinct enough that you're not going to confuse them with each other.  All parts of the world should be divided into regions in which each country shares a unified brand identity but with different flags. Scandinavia, West Africa and Arab nations are already on board but could use some more distinctiveness.

Anyway, Europe has even more cross-brand unification possibilities with the cross. Nordic crosses for the Nordic Countries, St. Andrews crosses for the British Isles, Maltese crosses for the Mediterranean, Patriarchal crosses (straight or slanted depending on Catholic vs. Orthodox) for Eastern Europe, and hooked crosses for Central Europe.

The green is too big and the shade is bad, the bird and fish clip art styles don’t match, and there’s no cool boat.

SlothfulCobra posted:Minnesota's now looking at changing their flag, here are the submissions. Anyway, the compromise solution appears to be a wavy Nordic Cross with a star in the upper hoist-side canton, duck in the upper fly-side canton, fish in the lower hoist-side canton, and F156 in the lower fly-side canton.
