Wouldn't want to see the rest of them then!

There's this one, which shows up first in a google search and has a bunch of articles about it but just seems to have been designed by this one guy with a website and access to Photoshop. All the articles mentioning it say NASA was involved but this claim has mysteriously disappeared from the website, almost as if it was bullshit made to make this one design student's random project seem like a legit thing. I mean, it's not bad or anything but who let this guy say what the flag is:


This was designed by the guy who came up with Earth Day in 1969, looks like modern versions of the flag use just a picture of the Earth rather than this original slightly more abstract version:


Here is definitely 100% the best flag candidate, created by some guy called Paul Carroll:


which reminds me of this rejected proposal for the EU flag, created by combining the flags of all member states in 2002:

Can't see why it didn't catch on.

I just looked at this a bit closer and it seems like everything on there is a country except for the UN and every consistent country of specifically the UK, including loving Jersey, Guernsey and Gibraltar. But not Northern Ireland. Oh and Norfolk Island is included. A lot of choices being made here

the bristol flag should commemorate the proudest moment in its history and depict a statue falling into a river

Best US flag is the 48 star flag absolutely.

I fixed the American flag:



The all-important stress test:



does that mean new states have to be admitted in groups of 5 or do you use a different polygon for each update depending on what factors easily

Unless they're gonna rebuild the Pentagon each time, they're gonna have to find another solution than changing the polygon.

public sector construction projects are a great way to kick-start the economy

I thought for a second the ballot was for new flag/old flag, but luckily even Mississippi knows that it can't trust its own voters to not vote for the most racist option so if it loses it's just back to the drawing board for a new flag to put to voters later on. Maybe they should just keep saying no until something funny comes up

Which spot they appear in, alphabetically. Even worse for national pride than just a picture of the borders of your state / department, is using its number in an administrative ledger.

Petition to get the department last in the alphabet to change its name to Aaaaaa just so everybody else has to reprint their flags

Why would you not put flags on the boat's flags? Serious missed opportunity.

No, you give the boat one of the flags along with a flag of another boat with the other flag and another flag with a boat and so on

Also, we're not piloting lines of tallships anymore. I don't think identification at a glance from a mile away needs to be the number one priority even for countries, let alone US states.

Not from a mile away, no, though a lot of flag use is through tiny emojis these days. Unicode mostly still hasn't been bullied into including regional flags yet, but who knows what may come

But what if a significant portion of a state chooses their state as their ancestry? for example let's say the plurality of Texans report their ancestry as Texan / Texas.

Recursive self-containing state flags, obviously
