peak debt posted:That Iroquois flag though, ugh. How are you even going to describe that? "A pixelated buttplug horizontally connected to four squares"? The pixelation is from whoever uploaded it to Wikimedia  here's a less pixelated version and an explanation of the center symbol quote:The central symbol is a tree and represents the Onondaga Nation. It was in the Onondaga Nation that the Peacemaker planted the Tree of Peace and it was under that tree where the leaders of the Five Nations buried their weapons of war. The Hiawatha Belt forms the basis of the flag of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

 Here's a flag that was used by two different US states at two different times. First by Texas as a de facto flag from 1835-1839, then later from January to September of 1861 for then seceded Florida. This was Florida's fist official flag after being not being part of Britain or Spain. British Florida flew the Red Ensign which is basically just a red field with the Union Jack in the corner. Spanish Florida had the Cross of Burgundy/Cross of St. Andrew which is the basis for it and Alabama's flag today.  Here's Alabama's Flag (created in 1895). Florida's Flag (created in 1900) is the same, but with their seal in the middle. Both were suggested by former Confederates.  St. Andrew's Cross for reference And speaking of Texas flags, here's a design during their Revolutionary period that was considered instead of the Zavala Flag  Six pointed stars are definitely useable so long as they don't have colinear edges (i.e. a hexagram) lest it resemble a star of David.

Angepain posted: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 It's funny because the person who originally designed it was an American  This is the original 1988 version. Idk if it's still him who was updating it to the current version or others. It's still being touted, I guess, by whoever runs this site http://www.theworldflag.org/

Top left would obviously be The Roman Empire, the bottom Right would be something like the US or Mexico or Australia or something. The Holy Roman Empire would be in the middle or something

There also a few Scotlands mixed in with them (though presumably more as trying to not so subtly attempt to keep the bars in the stars and bars) There's also this.

Jasper Tin Neck posted:The Mississippi flag redesign shitshow made me wonder, are most subnational flags just worse than the few ones I know? Fortunately, Wikipedia has a convenient page for that. Japan really loves its regional identity stuff to an almost obsessive degree. I believe there are government grants for some of that too though which helps. There's also a level of coroporate marketing influence on them which pushes simple stylizations for maximal recognition and reproducibility which is actually a good thing in this case. They don't just have prefectural flags but also municipal ones. That last link has links to sub pages based on region because pretty much every city and even many towns and villages has its own flag. It almost goes into the other direction of simplicity where it's just a stylish logo centered on a field and seeing all of them together ends up making them extremely bland as a whole.

It's a little odd that the Army Corps of Engineers has a flag, but it's largely just a flag version of their logo except that they've never built anything like that in their history.

One of the popular contrarian things to post on 4chan in the 00s was Soviet anything including the Soviet anthem as a troll. Similar to how Nazi stuff would get posted, but I guess seen as less generally offensive or more directly targeting Americans.

Honestly, just remove the text from the California flag and adjust the bear so that it's bigger and closer to the red stripe at the bottom and it'd be a perfectly cromulent flag.
