Hey guys welcome back to me contradicting myself in the same video by disliking flags with text and animals but also simultaneously liking them! (Also apparently 'horizontalization' IS a word?)

0:40 I like New Zealand's flag...a PDF

"text should be forbidden" "the winner is this Madagascar Flag" Flag: *HAS TEXT IN IT*

Plot twist: New Zealand actually changes their flag to a .pdf file

That Chad flag is horrible, just admit it. There is a reason flags are like they are

2:29 Thanks for accepting my Serbeea flag ❤

The dragon in the Croatian flag looks like Croatia´s map. That´s clever!

Please do this again, I missed the entry.

as a romanian i would never accept that abomination as my flag lmao

"Doesnt have kangaroo" Me makes an Australian flag with an Emu: •-•)

Argentina's new sun flag was amazing. Also, a lot of the honourable mentions were a lot better than the winners..

GK: Doesn't like the Latvia single white line Applicant: There is another

Most of these flags are remarkably unattractive.

4:00 i made it guys! that's my flag!! thanks for the contest, it was really cool to participate in it.

He really loves diagonals flags

5:37 That flag of Spain was my design!

I'm sorry but that Chad flag looks horrendous! :D

I don’t know man... some of those flags disrespect the 5 basics of flag design completely... especially when it comes to simplicity... also, never ever use texts, sigils or coat of arms in official nations flags. They are meant to be looked at from up close, not when waving in the wind.

9:34 the New Zealand flag as PDF icon 😆😆😆

11:46 As a Greek, i wanna say that that Greek flag was so simple, but so appealing. When you said that the flag was a mess, i will have to disagree just a tat bit there. It was a simple flag. A cross on the top right, representing Orthodox Christianity, and the 9 stripes that it has are actually suppose to represent the words: "Freedom or Death" (Ελευθερία ή θάνατος) from the Greek revolution of 1821.The re-design takes that away, but retains the Cross representing Orthodox Christianity, but added olive branches surrounding it, which is a nice touch if i do say so myself Edit: Sorry i realised it was the coat of arms. My mistake

Why make a good flag *when you have a fanbase*

13:45 😂 me trying to clean my screen until i realised it was a red point in the flag

4:40 we should make a orange lion on the Flag for my home country

I also feel like New Zeland's map should be the PDF icon

11:08 Sierra leone is mine. I can’t believe it was actually in the video.

In the end, I only submitted two flags to the contest... but I spent a lot of time throughout the entire month thinking of various designs and reading up on historical symbols for many different countries. It was a fun contest :) and the results were awesome. My personal favourite listed in this video was probably the redesign of Spain's flag (5:40). It was super creative and very well executed!

There it is 10:10 my flag :). Other submissions were so good and I'm happy mine was an honorable mention. Thank you! I know how much time and effort it takes to select out of such big pool.

9:33 New Zealand is a PDF file 😂

7:12 But now there's a whole new kind of confusion with India - same colours, use of elephant makes one think of the Indian elephant, etc

At 0:44, the panama one with the canal going through it is by far my favorite!

Two basic design requirements that need to be seen in flags: 1) The ability to recognize it from a distance and 2) Simplicity. You want a flag a child can draw with coloured pencils, and you want one that is distinctive enough, with sufficient clarity. A really good example of a flag that fits this is the Chicago flag. Simple, clean lines, anybody can draw it. That means it can be used on a variety of objects easily. One reason we see such simple, bold colours in flags is the background in medieval heraldry. The concepts of "Metal on colour/ Colour on metal" work extremely well.

_I just couldn't believe it!! Aside being one of the winners, seeing my flag in the thumbnail is so overwhelming and hearing from you saying,_ *_"this was honestly one of my favourites of all"_* _My country Philippines had been mold through series of colonisation and occupation. Each of the four elements in my flag has a meaning reperesenting the four heritage (Austronesian, European, American, Asian) that marked in the identity of my country. The yellow sky represents the Malay Heritage of Austronesian native islanders. The Human faced Sun represents the Hispanic Culture which is very evident in the Philippines particularly in religion. The Stripes represents the American influence bringing democracy to the country. The red half circle represents the Japanese occupation introducing the Asianization of the archipelago. The whole flag depicts the sun setting in the western shores that is very common scenery in the Philippines especially in the Capital Manila._

Why would anyone want to change Greece's flag?

I'm surprised about how good these flag are.

Nice Flags What about a DIY Flag Contest. A flag which is not a redesign of a real flag. You let us send all our flags with the name of a created country and the meanings of the flag. 😊

Oh my gosh! I won! I was the one with the New Zealand design :) Thank you!

6:37 actually the stars position on Brazilian flag present the constellations that could be seen at the sky in the night the Republic was "Proclaimed" (it was a coup d'etat actually) the Imperial Brazilian Flag used to use a cyrcle with stars to represent the brazilians (states) province, just like this one.

That Egyptian pyramid flag is definitely the best one for me. The Dutch one is a huge improvement as well.

1:54 THAT'S MY CROATIA FLAG!!! tell me if you liked it I also did a new flag for Mongolia and a combination of Mauritania and Nepal

As a Singaporean with familial links to Malaysia, that Malaysian flag is atrocious. Firstly, It makes no sense. Green would make more sense than blue (after all Malaysia is tropical and Its national religion is Islam). Secondly, removing the stripes would ignore the historical significance of the stripes, which were taken from the East India Company's flag as a nod to Malaysia's colonial past. I propose a flag of green and blue, to represent the jungle and sky and the straits settlement crest, with nine crowns as opposed to 3, to represent the sultans of Malaysia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_Settlements And 13 spikes radiating out of the crest to represent the 13 states of Malaysia.

9:45 I like the PDF flag =D

11:29 as a Catalan, I must say that flag is sooooo cool

8:19 should be appliable also for Brazil

Surprised by the amount of good flags made for my country (Egypt)! I was gonna submit my own submition, but i couldn't, but keep up the good work! 3:43 i agree with you with this, although it is very good too!

This Egyptian flag in the Category of Creativity is actually awesome, combining the history of Ancient Egypt by the Yellow Sandstone Pyramid and at the same time depicting the Mamluk Dynasty Yellow Flag all in one, the best in my opinion

I am glad that I was amongst the honorable mentions with my "Before it's too late" Maldives flag at 3:48

I am seriously positively impressed by how good some of these proposals are, especially Spain, Egypt and Argentina.

3:32 Brazilian Countryball Flag

9:45 Ah yes the classic New Zealand PDF file!

7:51 Green is associated with Islam, and Albania is the only state in Europe with a majority of Muslims (modulo some of the fragments of Yugoslavia, about which I am unsure).

Bangladesh Redesign looks fabulous! i Love it. I'm bangladeshi tho

8:57 by far my favorite flag in this video and in my opinion all tricolor flags should do this to make their flags more intresting(tilting them like that,cote of arms in the midle)

Man, to hell with easier reproduction, flags need to be beautiful, simple or complicated.

That Spain flag design is really cool, reminds me of the Maryland flag

Australia and New Zealand ought to adopt different national flags; the current flags of both nations are almost identical! I like the proposed designs for new flags of Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

6:37 as a Brazilian I believe this concept flag would remove the beauty and patriotism of our national flag, which is one of the most original and beautiful flags around the world, and the letters mean order and progress.

I really liked that Panama one that appeared smaller in the beginning

0:42 that "pdf" flag though

13:25 A creepy sun is staring me!

these flags are really done well great work guys

9:46 new zealand to the right, very nice

7:54 Green would probably represent connection to Muslim world ( since a lot of them are muslims ) 8:05 About our new flag, there is a lot of comments about 'new' style of our coat of arms, so this would probably be good idea but with coat of arms that was in use until 2010. ( The original one, not new masonic one) And, since our flag is basicly Russian flag upside down ( and yea it is, since that most of serbian ships in period of ww1 was w/o flag, Serbian sailors used russian flag as russian fleet was strong, and just to be clear which is which. they used to fly it upside down as to most people would be still Russian flag and those ships would be avoided ) . Hence, Serbia actually do have its older flags, yellow feild with red eagle on it ( Search Nemanici dynasty online ) . Otherwise, we really need part two of this since this is absolutly amazing video to watch and be part of it.

Very cool to do such a contest!!! I really liked the video

I’m from New Zealand and if it was in the competition it would probably be first or second and I love it!

Honestly, my favourite is the redesign of the Spanish flag! I want this made for I may fly it! I also very much liked the non-super geometric Ukrainian redesign, and the Cape Verde redesign.

Redesign Australian flag: We will have green, yellow, blue and white stars in our flag Brazil: hey man wtf

7:12 Stops confusion with Ireland, ok. Now it causes confusion with India lmao

As Luxembourger I find the Luxembourg flag redesing to simplistic. In my eyes the flag is too similar to the netherland flag but I find the one with the red lion well designed. And if you were to change it, keep the same amount of stripes or keep the lion. Don't change both

I am proud of my flag of Colombia has been in the video. Hola from Spain🇪🇸

As soon as I seen my flag 3:25 it felt like I was gonna catch a heart attack 🤣😋😀😀

I disagree with almost all of the winners he chose

Coat of arms exist on a flag WonderWhy: It's an ugly flag

10:30 im from chile This star is from our indigenous peoples, the Mapuches that's the reason that i liked

Ukraine suggestion #1 is the winner - hands down.

TBH- sometimes simplicity is the key to design a flag. It's hard enough for a child to draw or replicate his/her own flag and it could be the same for the adults.

Aaahh how did I miss this contest, I did my own flag redesign literally last week!

Please do this contest again. It's time for the 2nd edition.

3:10: small tweak, make the background the current colors of Columbia since it represents the region

The Argentinan futbol team should adapt that colour combo for an away strip. Those Serbian & Slovakian flags really pop!!!

3:42 Thank you for mentioning my Egypt flag. Means a lot!

2 Views, 4 likes. Probably Jesus and God are watching this video too.

I'm glad that my flag of Japan with the emperor's seal on it was named with an honorable mention!

8:16 looks amazing, i would fly that

9:10 As a Luxembourgish, I still prefer the first. I think it reminds better of our flag alternative on wich we have the red lion. Though, I think the red lion's flag would be better, just a little bit more complicated, but it could be simplified.

*Looking at the Netherlands flag redesign* Oh boy... History with Hilbert would be either be confused or pissed off.

I love those luxemburgish Flags!

Is there a part 2 for this?

Each star in brazilian flag is a represetaion of a real star in our contelation, thats why they are represented in this Way.

6:52 The proposed Latvian flag was just the former Thai Flag.

6:52 that flag looks like one of the historic Croatian flags plus the Latvian flag current one is better anyway

Astounding creativity by your submitters.

So Good to see my Macau Redesign made the video in some capacity thanks 👍

12:15 I don’t like that Mexico flag, because I like a darker green, and the eagles holding the snake on cactus both looks great and has meaning(it’s from a legend of a Native people of Mexico, I think the Aztecs who were in central Mexico)

2:24 Trust the Aussies to claim a Kiwi in their flag.

I love the original one of Malaysia flag with blue stripes and crescent & star at the middle..

Can you make all the submissions available for review? I saw a Canada flag flash past that I want to look at again (I think we have a good flag, but I like seeing alternate visions)

The Croatian flag with the dragon is a Game of Thrones reference. King's Landing was filmed in Dubrovnik.

The Australian one that you like is very much like the Solomon Island flag

Horizontallized may not have been a word before this video, but it is now. Thank you for the newest addition to my vocabulary.

9:44 That pdf New Zealand flag is dope!!
