1clkgtramg Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Came across this gem. Its the 1837 US Flag variant that has 26 stars shaped into a star itself. I wonder which state is represented by the largest star.. probably Michigan due to this flag being implemented when it became a state.

Cosmic Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Can you imagine all the arguing about where to put an extra star if the US ever adds a 51st state? People would lose their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyraven8 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Nova Scotia:Australia:1957-65 Canadian Red Ensign:(I prefer the 1921-57 version, though this was the highest-quality pic I could find of either version)Anyone with a Canadian address can get a free 26x32" printed flag poster of the red ensign (and others) from the government.

The_Admiral Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Here's another badass flag: it represents all the Celtic nations by being made up of all their different flags: The creator says the one in the upper-left represents England, but the English are not a Celtic people. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It also falls short as a flag that integrates other designs. The South African flag and Union Jack find ways to work different flag designs into each other. This one just awkwardly shoehorns multiple flags into one. There's no integration.

MDGP Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I really like Richmond, Virginia's flag... Do they actually fly it? I've looked for awhile but can't find a picture of it flying. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

1clkgtramg Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's a real shame that City flags don't get flown much Like how many people actually know what the Los Angeles flag looks like? I swear that thing is never associated with the actual city ever. I think Toronto, Indy and New York are the only ones that actually fly their flags. I may have seen on Philly flag, but I have never seen a Tampa flag in Tampa.... thats probably a good thing. BTW, is this not the best flag ever? Oh god, its like some kid just posted random stuff using Power Point and this happened.

I love Los Angeles' city flag and it's a shame it doesn't get flown. I'm not a fan of the city seal on it though. I'm not a fan of any seal or words on a flag. I give LA a pass though because it's home and it's so colorful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if there was an element that was simple to draw, but represented LA well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
