• I like many of the "bad" flags. I think Tibet's snow lion flag is the greatest flag ever, but under this guys rules, it's a bad flag. WTF? I think is this guy's personal dictionary, the term "good" is defined as "easy to make with construction paper and Elmer's Glue," and the term "bad" is defined as "hard to make from construction paper, and may require a pen to draw parts." Oh, and the flag he created for NAVA is teh gay.
• I want to hear Bush pronounce "Vexillology". Just once.
• Yeah, I agree with Mr. K. He is peddling his design sentiments as divine commandments. Maybe that works in this internet, but people in other internets have different opinions.
• This makes me want to design my own flag. Maybe I can work the Autobot symbol into it somewhere.
• Maybe make a flag out of wood?
• Does somebody sell wood on the internets?
• World flag database. Interesting stuff. I think the idea is that simple and striking is stronger than more ornate and detailed. For countries, at least, to have an immediately identifiable and perhaps "dramatic" flag is just smart nationalistic juju. Organizational flags are a different story I guess. It's strange, but I was just this evening looking up at the flags of Canada and the provice of Québec flying side by side in a strong wind. Beyond the visual experience the sound of the flags flapping was striking and intense. I'd never really thought about flags at all but it got me thinking. And here's a post about flags. Go figure.
