Welcome to /flag/, a general thread to talk about all things flags & vexillology, like flag design, symbolism and history, as well as flag collections.
>What are extra flags? Extra Flags is an open-source (code is on GitHub) and non-malicious (no IP is accessed) plugin that adds regional flags, like states and provinces, to the already existing national flags on Cred Forums, Cred Forums and Cred Forums, by storing users' post number along with the selected regional flags, and retrieving it from a database when a thread is loaded. You can add your region's flag by requesting it on the GitHub page.
Decided to come back to /flag/ just for this thread in order to insure that it gets to bump limit.

Hurts me a bit to admit this m8, but my favorite flag in general is Albania. Objectively based. I don't have any preference among American state flags, since most of them are just a coat of arms over the color, though most of the coats are pretty based.
I realize what the colors symbolize. If they, for example, just put the full circle around the sun instead of a C, it would have been better. This way it feels like a product symbol.

Tricoloured flags are good.
Nathaniel Ortiz
No they aren't, the only tricolor that matters is The Netherlands
Jayden Lopez
Why not?
Samuel Rogers
They're unoriginal, same as bi colors. The only things that you change about the original tricolor is the colors. Look at Europe, lots of tricolors exist (Germany, France, Luxembourg and Ireland)
It takes no creativity to come up with a tricolor.
Ryder Ortiz
Europe also contains actual relevant countries, the tricolour isn't unoriginal. It's just a simple design because the countries that have it aren't so irrelevant that they need a complex flag or have to endure the nightmare of flags like Belize or CAR or something like that.
Also the countries with the tricolour flag often have a lot of history behind it, unlike the USA flag which just started out as a cuckstamp and then added a star in the corner for every state.
Angel Gutierrez
>It's just a simple design because the countries that have it aren't so irrelevant that they need a complex flag
Define 'complex flag'.
While the examples you listed are true to the fact that they are terrible flags, other countries don't have 'complex flags' (Namibia, Barbados, Gambia and Trinidad), and yet, have no power outside of their own countries and neighbors, lots of people can't even point them out on a map, and yet all of them are better than tricolors.
>Also the countries with the tricolour flag often have a lot of history behind it
Yeah, and with all that history, all they can come up with is just 3 simple colors for a flag? France has existed for hundreds of years, yet, only uses 3 colors on their national flag, with all the history that France has to offer, that's what they use to represent their nation. They can do a lot better than that if they put their mind to it.
Benjamin Roberts
>Yeah, and with all that history, all they can come up with is just 3 simple colors for a flag?
That's what I'm saying, because they have a lot of history, the flags don't have to be any more complex than just a simple tricolour. It's just a standard flag layout and pretty much everyone can recognize the flags of France, Germany, Russia, etc.
The flags are simple but they still look good (unlike flags that are simple but look shit, for example Japan).
Chase Richardson
>the flags don't have to be any more complex than just a simple tricolour
What? Is your argument just "they don't need to be complex because they have so much history, they can't just put that on one flag" ? That's a stupid argument because that can be said about the United Kingdom, yet, they were able to come up with a flag. Same with Canada, America, Brazil, China, Argentina, Israel and Iraq, they were all able to come up with flags, yet, have a lot of history behind them.
>everyone can recognize the flags of France, Germany, Russia, etc.
Recognizable =/= good, everyone can recognize Saudi Arabia's flag, yet, it isn't good.
Look at pic related, I asked /flag/ which one they preferred, and everyone agreed the bottom one is better than the top one. Why is this? Complexity and creativity, it takes more time and effort to come up with an original flag than just a tricolor.
Jason Bennett
>Is your argument just "they don't need to be complex because they have so much history, they can't just put that on one flag
No, it's that it looks good. Just because a flag's design is simple doesn't make it look bad.
>Why is this? Complexity and creativity, it takes more time and effort to come up with an original flag than just a tricolor.
Not necessarily, the bottom one looks better because the top design looks mismatched and shit in general. There are just three stripes that are harshly interrupted by that blue square. It makes the white middle stripe look bad and the top stripe is neither the same length of the bottom stripe, nor is it half or three quarters the length. That could be fixed if there were more stripes that were thinner (e.g: the USA flag) but with those big fat stripes the flag just looks clumsy and like it was made in paint. Whereas the bottom one is perfectly symmetrical, the stars fit in nicely with the cross and the colours match each other well instead of just being solid blocks of colour like in the top flag.
My point is, hating a flag just because it's a tricolour is retarded. Because flags with simple designs can look good. There are obviously flags with simple designs that look shit, but there are also flags with complex designs that look shit.
It's not only the design that makes a flag look good or bad. And there is no slider where simple = bad, complex = good.
Easton Kelly
>Just because a flag's design is simple doesn't make it look bad.
Yes it can, simplicity doesn't always mean that it looks good, like you said, Japan is an example of this.
>My point is, hating a flag just because it's a tricolour is retarded.
I'm not hating it because it's a tricolor, I hate it because it unoriginal and overused.
>There are obviously flags with simple designs that look shit, but there are also flags with complex designs that look shit.
Yes, and my point is that tricolors fall into the "so simple it shit" tier. Again, tricolors are unoriginal and are not creative.
>It's not only the design that makes a flag look good or bad.
Yes it is, it's how you creatively choose that design is what makes it good, you can't just make a tricolor and it automatically be good, the only way to rank a tricolor is by putting them side to side and seeing if the colors match correctly, which is why they are all the same in my book because it takes away real symbolism and throws it out the windows in favor of ranking color, which is way too subjective to accurately rank them.
Eli Flores
>Yes it can, simplicity doesn't always mean that it looks good, like you said, Japan is an example of this.
Yes, it CAN, but it doesn't ALWAYS make it look bad. You're agreeing with me here.
>I'm not hating it because it's a tricolor, I hate it because it unoriginal and overused.
An overused flag design? Kek, why no complaints about the Nordic cross then? Or the "stripes with a box in the top left corner" design (USA, Greece, Liberia, Malaysia, Uruguay).
Like I said, how good a flag looks isn't 100% dependent on the design. It's the colour schemes and how they complement each, as well as symbolism and shit that makes a flag good. So despite having the same design, the Scandinavian countries still have unique and nice flags. Same goes for most tricolours.
>Yes, and my point is that tricolors fall into the "so simple it shit" tier. Again, tricolors are unoriginal and are not creative.
See point above. Also what is it with this "creativity". The flag of the Congo is hardly creative and it still looks good. Same goes for a lot of countries.
>Yes it is, it's how you creatively choose that design is what makes it good, you can't just make a tricolor and it automatically be good, the only way to rank a tricolor is by putting them side to side and seeing if the colors match correctly, which is why they are all the same in my book because it takes away real symbolism and throws it out the windows in favor of ranking color, which is way too subjective to accurately rank them.
I never said you can make a tricolour and it's automatically good. I said it relies on other things like the colours and if they work well together. As far as the "putting them side by side in order to rank them" goes, you can do the same shit with Malaysia, USA and Liberia. They're all the same fucking flag, Malaysia just happens to have the crescent in the corner whereas Liberia has one star and the USA has 50. They are also all the EXACT same colour, aside from Malaysia's crescent.

That's only 5, not really a problem
>Also what is it with this "creativity"
Actually putting thought into a flag, rather than just putting 3 colors next to each other and making it look good.
>The flag of the Congo is hardly creative and it still looks good
It isn't
>I never said you can make a tricolour and it's automatically good.
Then how would you rank them without contradicting this your next point?
>you can do the same shit with Malaysia, USA and Liberia. They're all the same fucking flag, Malaysia just happens to have the crescent in the corner whereas Liberia has one star and the USA has 50. They are also all the EXACT same colour, aside from Malaysia's crescent.
Then that would be contradictory of your point that all tricolors are not the same. All tricolors are exactly the same, aside from colors, but there is a reason I don't rank all 3 (Liberia, Malaysia and the US) of those flags together
To backtrack a bit, I gave credit to The Netherlands for being the first tricolor, and that would be the only tricolor that matters to me because it was the first one created, so instead of ranking all tricolors, I go with the one that was created first and determine whether it is good or not. I would also do this to those flags that you listed.
Connor Torres
>All tricolors are exactly the same, aside from colors
OBVIOUSLY, because they have the same design. What are you even trying to say here? Saying "aside from colours" as if colours are some throwaway thing. Colours are the things that define a flag and with the tricolour countries, every colour has meaning and symbolism and history behind it.
What you just said is like saying that the flag of the USA is basically the same as that of every other flag that has blue, white and red on it. Colours are important to a flag.
Also technically all tricolours are not the exact same since for some of the countries they go vertical and for others horizontal :^)
Hating tricolours and nordic crosses simply for being tricolours and nordic crosses is dumb tbqh

>OBVIOUSLY, because they have the same design. What are you even trying to say here? Saying "aside from colours" as if colours are some throwaway thing.
I flipped your argument
>you can do the same shit with Malaysia, USA and Liberia. They're all the same fucking flag
to show you how stupid it was and how it contradicted your example you posted and how you can't compare them.
>What you just said is like saying that the flag of the USA is basically the same as that of every other flag that has blue, white and red on it. Colours are important to a flag.
No, like you said, design is very important, but you say
>because they have the same design
Like it's a good thing. This is my whole point, they are the same exact design (aside from being sometimes vertical and horizontal), that's why they are bad, they are unoriginal.
>Hating tricolours and nordic crosses simply for being tricolours and nordic crosses is dumb tbqh
Reread my last posts, I don't hate them because they are tricolors or Nordic crosses, I hate them because they are unoriginal.
Hudson Reed
>I flipped your argument My argument when I said "you can do the same shit with Malaysia, USA and Liberia" was in response to your point about "putting them side by side in order to rank them". I gave the example of the USA, Liberia and Malaysia to show how ridiculous that argument was in the first place. It wasn't an argument, it was an example of the argument you used (that tricolours are all the same because the only way to differentiate them is by their colours - to show you how that was a dumb way to look at it, I gave the example of how the USA, Liberia and Malaysia have the same design and therefore, according to your logic, they are bad).
>This is my whole point, they are the same exact design (aside from being sometimes vertical and horizontal), that's why they are bad, they are unoriginal.
Again, I'll use your logic with the same example. "The USA, Liberia and Malaysia have the exact same design (aside from different amounts of stars in the corner), that's why they are bad, they are unoriginal".
>I hate them because they are unoriginal.
They would be unoriginal if they used the same colours too, which they don't. The flag of France is very different to the flag of Germany and you know it. You're making it sound like they are carbon copies of one another.
I'm not saying tricolours are the peak of flag design, I'm just saying they're good. They are simple and do a good job of symbolizing the country as there is historical significance behind each flag. They are still original, because like I said, it's not like the flags are carbon copies of each other, they still look very different. Not every flag has to look like the flag of CAR to be "original".
Matthew Walker
>They would be unoriginal if they used the same colours too
So I guess the colors make the difference then? What keeps them different instead of just being recolors?
>The flag of France is very different to the flag of Germany and you know it.
3 colors on a flag, not much of a difference.
I see difference as in comparing Congo's flag to Cuba's flag, not Germany to France.
>You're making it sound like they are carbon copies of one another.
Not carbon copies, but way too similar to just get a free pass.

Henry Sullivan

Jonathan Sanchez

Levi Wright
Yes, the colours make the difference, as well as the symbolism behind them. Just like the symbolism behind the USA flag makes it different to the Liberia flag (as well as the fact that it has more stars, just as tricolours have different colours).
>3 colors on a flag, not much of a difference. >I see difference as in comparing Congo's flag to Cuba's flag, not Germany to France.
Why does it have to be the greatest difference in the world? My point is, they are still different enough for anyone to immediately know which flag belongs to France and which to Germany without having to think. Yes, they are fairly "similar". But so are many flags (look at the Middle East for example).
>Not carbon copies, but way too similar to just get a free pass.
That's the thing, they're not "way too similar". You can instantly tell the difference and know which flag belongs to which country. Your logic would be like saying the flags of Japan, Bangladesh and Palau are all "way too similar" just because they use the same design.
I'd agree with you if we were talking about Poland, Indonesia and Monaco, because those flags really are "way too similar" to get a free pass. But Germany and France? Come on.
Dominic Williams
no 1 its simple - longezes on bottom and the coa on top 4 is seal a synonym for coatof arms? 9 blue and white look good together
since you said they all suck you then what about this one?
Chase Reyes
the white border around it isnt supposed to be there i just quickly took a picture off google
Nathaniel Walker
>Just like the symbolism behind the USA flag makes it different to the Liberia flag
Liberia IS a direct ripoff of the US, that's why I don't count it as a flag.
>You can instantly tell the difference and know which flag belongs to which country
Recognition =/= good.
>Your logic would be like saying the flags of Japan, Bangladesh and Palau are all "way too similar" just because they use the same design.
They are
is completely different to Bavaria's flag is OK in my book
Easton Flores
if bavarias flag is ok then why did you say that all german regionals suck?
Isaiah Cruz
So if a flag is a bit similar to another flag, it's a rip off and you don't count it as a flag?
Ok, there goes like 30% of the world's flags, apparently they're not flags anymore according to you.
Not a very open stance for a /flag/ vexillologist tbqh

So in actual fact, it's way more than 30%.
I included all the tricolours and nordic crosses, as well as any designs that were the same (like USA and Malaysia) - however, I left out the original, first flags like the Netherlands and Denmark.
Then I included flags that were tricolours with a crest or symbol on them, since you said Liberia was a rip off and in this post you said that the pic should be used to rule whether a flag is good or not and it said "no lettering or seals". However I didn't include many flags that did have letterings or seals because their design was unique. The flags that I listed though, were almost universally tricolour.

Nice flag

Flags that you included have completely different symbols than tricolors. When I'm talking tricolors, I'm talking about just 3 colors. I'm not talking about fucking seals added on to it, because I know that many countries use the tricolor as a basis for their national flag, but these flags added something of their own to the original tricolor.
(Andorra, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Barbados, Cameroon, Croatia, Djibouti, Egypt, El Salvador, Gabon, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Honduras, India, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Libya, Malta, Mexico, Moldova, Nicaragua, Niger, Palestine, Paraguay, Philippines, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, Syria, Tajikistan, Venezuela)
Also, why the fuck is New Zealand in their? It's not a tricolor. It's a cuck stamp, a whole other talking point.

I don't really like the color combination of yellow and mustard colored star
Robert Cruz
New Zealand is in there because its very similar to Australia. In your own words, "Liberia is a rip off and I don't consider it a flag". Therefore New Zealand gets the same treatment.
And even if you remove the seals, that's still a lot of countries whose flags you don't consider flags/think are terrible.
Also why did you remove Syria? It's identical to Yemen except for TWO stars in the middle. In that case, Liberia should get the same treatment seeing as it has 49 less stars than the USA flag. Same thing actually goes for the flag of Iraq, it's the exact same as Yemen too except it has the takbir in the middle.
That's just me nitpicking, the point is that it's still a lot of countries.

You don't
>that's still a lot of countries whose flags you don't consider flags/think are terrible.
After I went through the flags, I'm guessing there's around 20 left, kinda small in my opinion. considering the fact that there are probably more cuckstamp flags than tricolors.
>Also why did you remove Syria? It's identical to Yemen except for TWO stars in the middle.
That makes the difference, kinda like you and colors.
>In that case, Liberia should get the same treatment seeing as it has 49 less stars than the USA flag.
No, because Liberia took it directly from America, Liberia is a country of ex slaves from America that moved back to Africa. You could consider it different, but I don't.
>the point is that it's still a lot of countries.
Not in my book my man
Aaron Williams
Eh, it's still weird as fuck to not consider all those flags actual "flags" and that they're just rip offs of each other.
Like I said, not a very open stance for a /flag/ vexillologist.
Luke Hernandez
Why? I see tricolors as the same thing, just different colors, they don't really matter to me as much as, say, stars and symbols. I usually put tricolors under the 'tricolor tier' same as I would with cuck stamps.
>not a very open stance for a /flag/ vexillologist.
It's really just my opinion, liking Italy's flag over France's just because the colors look better is an insane way of dealing with it. Colors are way too subjective to deal with, so it's best just to put them in a tier of their own.

Maybe in terms of how much one likes a flag, but it's a bit weird to consider them as being rip offs or as not being flags.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
They're not rip offs, just way too similar. I want European countries to have unique flags, not just tricolors, but we already went threw that and I'm fucking tired.

Also, if you don't think Brown county's flag is the tightest shit ever you can get out of my face
This is the thing that originally got my into vexillology. I had to read it for the SAT reading portion, and I thought it was fascinating. It's about designing the flag that's on the moon, and how that was a microcosm of the whole process involved in actually landing on the moon.
For me it was when I looked up my flag. It was so disappointing that it encouraged me to learn about vexillology.

Kazakhstan is one of my favourite flags, it is aesthetically pleasing, meaningful and very easily recognizable

Man, that was close, I almost thought I was in a Christian town, thank Allah, we need a crescent in my opinion.

short question about evernote: is it possible to import the structure of a complete folder into it or did you create the point for each flag manually?
Lincoln Ward
Select all images and drag them into a note.
Ryder Lewis
i meant is there a way to automatically import the whole flags folder downloaded from github into a list without having to go into each subfolder
Aaron Reed
You could search for '*.png", then right click into an empty space, "Group files by" and select "Folder path", then work from there, but no, I don't think you can do this sort of thing automatically.
Aiden Walker
i will experiment with that software for a few hours now, when i find something interesting ill tell you
Asher Fisher
I build my list as I find new regional flags while browsing Cred Forums.
Jaxson Bell
theres the difference, i like to make a complete list or map in advance in that i just mark flags as collected. Also i have seen that you can just upload 60 MB for free while all flags have about 200 MB
maybe i will use excel or something
Kayden Collins

Just use the bullet point tool and press tab/shift tab to break the hierarchy. Mine is incomplete.
Nicholas Thompson
making a list of nearly 16.000 flags that way would be consuming a lot of time. importing the flag_list.txt results in any special characters being not correctly displayed even though i can enter them manually in evernote which is a problem too
i thought that if i import your list i have less to import manually

Justin Lee
Like I said, my list is severely incomplete. I only add the stuff I personally see, and I haven't seen many flags, since I only installed Extra Flags a month ago.
I'll try to make a list like mine but with every Brazil municipality and then I'll post it here. If it's too complicated, I won't do any other country, but if it's not bad, I'll help you out.
Matthew Harris
Made this in these three minutes since I posted it, though I already had a list of all Brazilian municipalities ready. Then it's only a matter of dragging and dropping the flag.png icon into the list.
