My vote for best goes to Vietnam 🇻🇳 with honarable mentions to Bhutan.
Worst are all the countries that just have three coloured stripes. I cant tell any of them apart
Angola has the coolest flag and it’s not even close
Mozambique’s got a fucking AK on it
Yeah well it’s also got a book on it which means it’s for
A flag for intellectual revolutionaries. It’s a solid choice.
This and WPK are nice re-interpretations of the classic
flagons
Oh shit I forgot Wales! Love that dragon
Vietnam and USSR are my favorites. Very simple and iconic flags.
Worst ones are prolly the flags with Union Jack (Except for UK/Aus/NZ). Kinda lazy shit. Union Jack itself can be considered evil but not the worst thing aesthetically.

The story of how Canada avoided the “union jack in the corner” fate is actually really funny. The short version is that the minority-government prime minister of the time was about as anti-colonial as it was possible to get in mainstream 1960s Canadian politics and still be PM. He’s the same guy who, as foreign minister in the 1950s, led worldwide diplomatic efforts against Britain in the Suez Canal crisis. He wanted to replace the old not-technically-official but official-ish British-as-can-be flag with something entirely domestic. He didn’t want any European symbolism on it.
He and his progressive political allies basically tricked the pro-British conservatives on the flag selection committee into supporting a flag that he preferred, without any trace of the British symbolism that the conservatives demanded. But the conservatives didn’t know he preferred it. They thought he wanted a different flag. They thought they were going to deadlock the selection committee by preventing a majority vote for any particular flag. The pro-British faction lost their shit when they found out that the progressives on the committee voted for the same new flag, making the committee decision unanimous.
The conservative opposition leader was one of those standard-issue North American anglophiles who never saw a British boot he didn’t instinctively want to lick. He tried to filibuster the House of Commons to prevent a vote that would have made the new flag official, but some of his own party soon got sick of his shit and just wanted the whole debate out of the media once and for all. So influential opposition members rebelled against their own leader and forced an end to the filibuster.
The country is trash (death to
) but I think the maple leaf flag is pretty good. It’s instantly recognisable from a distance, not too crowded, and just looks nice imoYeah, it’s a good design. Of course, it could be improved…
I tried it with the hammer and sickle in the traditional yellow, but it looked pretty ugly. I think it works very well in white.
its probably a greener-grass thing but i still kind of think the decoy flag looks a bit better
Bullshit, I’ve seen the heritage minute. We locked some guy in a dark room until he picked one.
Bhutan is the best because it has a dragon
Israel is the worst because it appropriated a religious symbol and transformed it into a symbol of hate.
But Wales also has a dragon
And Malta also has a dragon it’s just tiny
DEAR ISRAELIS… YOU SAY YOUR COUNTRY IS IN DISTRESS, BUT I NEVER SEE YOUR FLAG FLOWN UPSIDE DOWN… CURIOUS…!!!
Jamaica for not having red white or blue.
It’s like a direct color inversion of the British flag
no notesNepal
Embrace non-rectangular thought!
Nepal? 🇳🇵
The best flag for symbolism, Angola 🇦🇴
The best flag from a purely design perspective, Seychelles 🇸🇨
Any flag with an AK is a flag I like
USSR, probably the best flag design in history. Most of the SSR flags are nice too.
Shoutout to Cuba for somehow having a flag that suits a communist country really well even though it’s the same flag they used before the revolution.
It’s not my favourite but I have to give an honorable mention to Hong Kong despite them being US simps
The Hong Kong separatists actually hate the real Hong Kong flag because it represents Hong Kong as part of the PRC. That’s why they always use the cringe black one with the dead leaf on it
That’s why they always use the cringe black one with the dead leaf on it
or the colonial flag
DRPK it’s iconic
Kyrgyzstan what if Vietnam but hairy star
Gabon yes it’s a three stripe but the colour combo in this image at least appeals to me (repeated again w Saint Vincent and the Grenadines)Worst, sorry Bangladesh the contrast hurts my eyes, makes it look like the greem circle is both recessed and floating
best flags: belarus and kazakhstan flags for their ornaments. And nepal flag for it’s unique shape
worst flags: all the ones with british flag in the corner look super ugly
honorable mention: turkmenistan, which literally has a carpet on it’s flag
The ones with the british flag in the corner also must suck to draw by hand. You have to create two whole flags in one.
South Africa and Norway. The old Zaire flag was one of my favorites until they got rid of it. The old GDR flag
is my personal GOAT and I felt that way long before I was a commie.Brunei, Turkmenistan, Mozambique, Angola in no particular order
Mayotte also going strong
Honourable mention to Nepal for not sticking to the rectangle
Northern Mariana islands is a bit too busy, same with Seychelles, otherwise really strong concept
Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Bhutan put interesting stuff in their flags, but idk, something is lacking still
Worst flags: Virgin Islands followed by anyone with just a color scheme arranged in a “neat” (strictly vertical/horizontal manner)
