Absolute garbage. All the distinct aesthetic qualities of arabic are missing, this looks like something you could type out with a latin alphabet keyboard, in lower case so it looks even shittier. Poorly written even, the characters are all lumpy. The sole part of the design that isn't just text is a white oval on black that is weirdly lumpy. What a terrible, terrible flag.

You are like a baby.

The first one looks like the flag of a particularly evil modern multinational corporation, and that colors my perception of the second flag as well.

The second flag feels like it wants to be friends with Arizona and New Mexico, and it just isn’t.

You people are thinking about what you like looking at high-res pictures on your computers or phones. You're not thinking about how a flag would look from a ways off, limp, hanging off a flag pole. The owl design is absolutely the best looking but it wouldn't make the best practical flag.

True, but that puts in in good company in the U.S.. Most flags aren’t the most practical flags.

Not my ranking, but this displays them all, and look at all those entered emblems.
