I can't believe #5 isn't unanimous at this point. That was the first one that would always jump out when I looked at Flags of the World posters growing up.

I thought [country 5], that's not even fair. Is flag 7 supposed to look like Atari graphics, or did you take it off an 8-bit website?

Is the circle in #2 off-center? I'm not OCD, but I'm finding that image anxiety inducing.

Shit, Sri Lanka may have been my number 1 all the way through the worldwide tournament, if we're going to go that far.

The group runner-up above is just meh. The crest is neat but the way its overlaid on the background isn't that great.

An outrage. Sri Lanka's flag is a global top 5.

And the rampant anti-semitism among amateur vexillologists is ridiculous!

Which begs the natural question as to why Xerox has an affinity for yurts.*



* - I guess that flag depicts the top of a yurt?

I voted for 1A, but 1B is still better than either of the #3 matchups.

I don't understand how 3A got this far. That's just not a good flag design. Just "put more stuff on the flag and people will think it's good."
