My Russian co-worker told me about the sane part of Russians still wanting to feel proud of their country, but without appearing to support the regime. So they made a new flag for protests, by whiping the blood off the current flag:


Pretty neat I think.

Hmm maybe add a vertical bar left-of-centre?

The flag of Sweden is featured on the coat-of-arms of Finland. I wonder how common that is. (Not Sweden specifically.)

I'll be honest here: I've never seen a cum rag so I'll have to take your word for it. I always imagined they'd be somewhat different, though.

The Swedes are having a slapfight and it's almost as funny as the English having a slapfight.

I’m not as down on it as other people but I think it’s the asymmetry, which is unusual, and the fact that the design seems like it is meant to be representational even though it isn’t, as far as I know, representative of anything.

It's a river and some cloud.

And by cloud I mean CHEM TRAILS!!!

Mildly interesting bilingual lovely municipal flag. The Finnish name is on top, but the Swedish name is in a larger type. No-one wins!

e: Oh a link to the picture would be nice:



ee: This is also mildly interesting. The flag (left) is poo poo but the pendants (right) are OK:

Having pendants that aren't the colors of your flag is the worst. Worse then even the dumbest flag.

Most municipal pendants here tend to be based on the coat-of-arms, not the flag. Mostly because the flags are about 99% just some corporate bullshit, not historical.



e: Well, not just municipal:

You still should try to stick with the same colour scheme for all of those. If your coat of arms is primarily white and red, then make your flag be primarily white and red.

That's a great idea. Too bad about 100% of flags don't follow this scheme.

It's kind of darkly funny we're discussing the merit of script systems for various languages while posting in English, a language notorious for its baffling spelling rules, written in Latin script, a script that's historically awful at handling languages with complex vowel systems like in Germanic languages.

English doesn't have a complex vowel system, unless you're a stupid-rear end Anglo linguist who thinks diphthongs and triphthongs are what they aren't and that the fact that long and short vowels are phonetically somewhat different is somehow important when writing language down, when it's not.
