You can now view the full results of the survey here! www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/anaizl/flags_of_100_of_the_worlds_largest_cities_ranked/

Vexillographer? I haven't heard that name in years.

Every time there’s a comparison to a us state flag, the video gets faster...

Great to see you back! By the way, I personally think Taipei and Cape Town were *so close* to actually working.

please make a video on flags of countries that don't exist anymore , like Rhodesia , Yugoslavia , Zaire and etc.

5:38 *_because its written on the f l a g._*

Imagine going to a US state governors' convention where every single coat of arm on a blue field flag is flown one next to eachother

Suggestion: maybe you should put up a contest for your viewers to see who can redesign these awful flags in to better looking ones. And then do a top 10 best redesign of those flags.

I'd be interested in the bottom ten, but without the seal-on-a-sheet designs.

Cape Town! THEIR FLAG IS BASICALLY A BUSINESS LOGO

The Cape Town Flag looks like the First Slide of a Google Slides presentation

It’s been 3,000 years...

It may not have worked out, but at least Taipei *tried* something.

Things you only see once a lifetime 1. A new Vexillographer video

Us flags: Blue background Something patriotic Writing/text

Now do the 10 most average flags... The ones closest to 5.5 (Since you can't vote 0/10, 5 is not the average, 5.5 is)

The worst flags: Oh, let's put our coat of arms in an generic color!We are genius! Me:|:(

another title: your opinions on seals on a background

Taipei is what happens when you give a 1-year-old a blank sheet of paper.

This is more exciting than the Super Bowl

While I was sad you were gone, having this so far after the survey was completed made it so I forgot what flags were on there and I got to relive the pain all over again. 10/10 would judge flags again.

Lol you Americans are dissapointed with half of your state flags being just a seal on a plain background Us Filipinos have to deal with 79 out of 81 of our provincial flags being exactly like that

The Cape Town flag looks like a business card

The text on the Abuja flag is arial. ARIAL. They went into google docs and sketched up a flag in 2 minutes

IT'S HERE! IT'S FINALLY HERE! WOOOOO!!!!!! Wait...where is my comment on the flag?

14:22 you can see the “My little ponies” In the background on the bottom self lol

Awesome video, was definitely worth the wait!

Finally you're back Peter!!!! Wishing good luck for you in the channel !!

Taipei's city flag looks like it was designed by a five-year old.

The flag of Addis Ababa looks like they made it on MS paint.

yay, you uploaded again!! [edit- please make more videos often!]

Halifax Nova Scotia used to have a nice flag. Although it was kind of complicated, it looked nice. It had and yellow saltire on a blue background with a blue kingfisher in the centre. It also had four blue arrows on each line of the saltire pointing towards the kingfisher. But they changed it to a beautiful new flag, they got a white background and wrote Halifax on it. That's it. Even a coat of arms would be better. I don't know if the original flag is still the flag of Halifax county, but the cities flag is awful. Anyways, I'm done my little rant, check out the flags if you'd like Edit: Nevermind, the new flag is apparently just a logo, not a new flag

Cool video. (i noticed your mlp colection hehehehehe)

If Cape Town had a Squid Game business card to go into the game.

glad you're back!

Google flag of Milwaukee. Then google people’s flag of Milwaukee, a rejected alternate design.

10:45 Taipei list #3 in this video Taichung: Hold my beer... To be fair, ALL city flags in Taiwan... Are pretty bad, I'm actually a bit surprised how you didn't mention Taichung City flag... Which has been deemed as the worst city flag in Taiwan.

*Finally.* a video. for once. yay.

Finally you are back!!!

You'd have to include the flag from Huesca, Spain. It's absolutely horrible.

10th Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo 🇨🇬 9th Tashkent, Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 8th Dhaka, Bangladesh 🇧🇩 7th Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬 6th Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭 5th Accra, Ghana 🇬🇭 4th Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 3rd Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼 2nd Davao, Philippines 🇵🇭 1st Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦

1:30 wait... FRANCE IS THAT YOU?

Glad you're back. I love flags. Talk about the Leiden, NL city flag!

I'm glad that you're back

Cool that you are back!

I’d tell my grandpa that a KZfaqr he subscribed posted a new video.

they should see my cities flag a big white plain oak tree on a dark red background with a line underneath the tree, under the line in the cities name and in the top right corner in big text is the founding date

Im a filipino but my city's flag umm i think its outdated i think so or maybe they just font care about the capital of my country yeaaaah they went on the second one

1:14 Woah there buddy, that's not the seal of Indiana, that's an actual unique design for once.

You’re back!

At least des moines no longer has a corporate logo for a flag

If provincial flags were counted, the Philippines might top the list... (yes I come from there; I'm ashamed to say.)

That's not even the flag of Davao. The current seal has a native shield on the escutcheon.

Where did you buy those little flags

I was looking for Vatican City in the thumbnail, and I was gonna yell "THE POPE IS COMING FOR YOU!"

Your'e back!

You need to make another survey. I'm sad I couldn't participate

Some cities that had been particularly faithful to the French Crown were awarded a heraldic augmentation of two or three fleurs-de-lis on the chief of their coat of arms; such cities include Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Reims, Le Havre, Angers, Le Mans, Aix-en-Provence, Tours, Limoges, Amiens, Orléans, Rouen, Argenteuil, Poitiers, Chartres, and Laon, among others.

Its been a long time!!

Cape Town looks like a company logo

my heart stopped a little when i realized you were also meant the seal AND flag, instead just the seal for capetown

I like how people hate flags with text but some of the most popular flags have text on them (Brazil, Saudi Arabia, etc)

When minor cities are doing better at making flags than a capital

cape town flag : "it's a movie poster if they added the release date confirmed :D"

Who else is watching this instead of the Superb Owl?

Brazzaville’s flag should just be what’s inside the seal, Tashkent should be all the stripes of the colors of major empires who controlled it. Dhaka should’ve kept the background, but the circle with the Bangladesh flag is zoomed in. Abuja should’ve been the same, without text, imagery is zoomed in.

7:38 hey Manila give that back to Singapore

The city of Davao is a seal on a peed on bed sheet

Just a guess, but does the 03-04 design of Cape Town have Table Mountain and white, blue, black, red, green and yellow, representing the colors of the national flag?

Take a shot when there's a US state flag reference.

The fact your back: :D The flags: D:

I forgot ur channel existed lol

If you think these city flags are bad, don't you dare look at the flag of Tampa, Florida

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME VEXILLOGRAPHER IS ALIVE???

the dhaka flag has both arabic alphabet and latin alphabet on it... VISIBLE CONFUSION

98% Comments Are About Cape Town 2% Comments Are Normal

I like the video Peter, the flags... not so much haha.

cape town's flag made me cry

I’m from Davao and it’s hilarious🤣🤣

I would love for a redesign of my city's flag (Just search "Szczecinek flag" and hit images). Yeah, Our coat of arms, consisting of yellow, black, and grey.... slapped on to a white flag with green bars on the top and bottom! No one can tell me who came up with the design. The green bars don't make any sense.

Even as someone from Nigeria, their comments made me laugh... wait until you take a look at some of our state flags

Pocatello's old flag is just godlike..... If you're Satan

I liked in Addis Ababa for a year and never saw that flag.

The Capetown flag looks like an automatically generated design on PowerPoint

1:58 Well, ALL of their coat of arms elements ARE unique so they just put them on a simple background.

And the people who hate the city flag of davao they didnt know the mayor was the daugther of the president of the philippines

In my brain, I screamed in rage when I saw the Cape Town flag.

Why do people hate city flags with text on it

Yay! He's back!

YEY. YOU'RE BACK

Manila and Davao, one of the Cities in the Philippines. Kinda like US state flag. Maybe someday re-design some flags of Philippine Cities, Towns and Provinces.

If you hate all of the flag, don't blame the flag, blame their mayor

"This looks a lot like U.S. state flags, except for the fact that less than 50 percent of them feature seals within their fields."

*sees both cities of the Philippines here* *BLEEP* I guess our country was made for everything but flags. There are other flags you should check out like Leyte and Bukidnon, but honestly, I expected both to appear anyways.

you broke the prophecy. Thank goodness.

Good video

Good delivery

Cape town, thats am amazing business card, terrible flag. Hold on, are we sure they didnt mix up their business card and flag designs?

Although the origin of the fleur-de-lis is unclear, it has retained an association with French nobility and asdociated cities and regions. It is widely used in French city emblems as in the coat of arms of the city of Lille, Saint-Denis, Brest, Clermont-Ferrand, Boulogne-Billancourt, and Calais. Some cities that had been particularly faithful to the French Crown were awarded a heraldic augmentation of two or three fleurs-de-lis on the chief of their coat of arms; such cities include Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Reims, Le Havre, Angers, Le Mans, Aix-en-Provence, Tours, Limoges, Amiens, Orléans, Rouen, Argenteuil, Poitiers, Chartres, and Laon, among others. The fleur-de-lis was the symbol of Île-de-France, the core of the French kingdom. It has appeared on the coat-of-arms of other historical provinces of France including Burgundy, Anjou, Picardy, Berry, Orléanais, Bourbonnais, Maine, Touraine, Artois, Dauphiné, Saintonge, and the County of La Marche. Many of the current French departments use the symbol on their coats-of-arms to express this heritage.

DUDE I EXPECTED THE PHILIPPINES CITIES TO BE IN THE TOP 10 AND ENDED UP IN THE BOTTOM 10
