The colors are great there, it works surprisingly well.
Flags of communist countries have always been awesome. USSR, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, East Germany
I can’t find it, but there’s a cool infographic / image that has all of them. I could only find one for the hammer and sickle variations:
Nepal is my favourite. Most iconic hammer and sickle IMO
I really like the ones that dared to be different and show what working class means to their area.
The flag of Switzerland is always a plus.

I agree these are good, the others were not though. I’d like to add to consideration:
-
Argentina 🇦🇷
-
Canada 🇨🇦
-
Japan 🇯🇵
In particular, Argentina is, if not the best national flag, at least my personal favorite.
. Argentina, bog standard three stripes and something in the middle design no different from El Salvador’s, Guatemala and Honduras’s.
. Canada, same as the Argentinian flag but worse because of its use of a leaf. By far the cringiest flag.
. Japan, it’s just mid.
The Canadian flag is not a “bog standard three stripes” design. It even introduced a new vexillological term; the Canadian pale.
I don’t understand why you think the maple leaf, a symbol which has been associated with Canada ever since there was a “Canada” to speak of, is “cringe”.
The Canadian flag is a vexillological masterpiece and I will die on this hill. I wouldn’t bother dying for my country, but I would for its flag. It’s instantly recognizable, simple yet symbolic, and honestly such a massive glow-up from the previous Red Ensign flag.
You want to see a cringe flag? Look at this atrocity:

Cringe flag for a cringe country
The flag of Canada is perfect.
I agree that Argentina could be improved. Maybe make it five stripes instead of three? Just add a bar of white at the top and also the bottom. The red symbol in the middle is great, but maybe we need more than one, let’s make it four in a horizontal row. Since there are more now they’ve got a be a little smaller and therefore also simpler, something recognizable but cool like a brewer’s star.
Oops, just made the Chicago flag again. Unbeatable.
Iirc this was designed by a committee somewhat recently, yes? Now it’s on bags and walls and flying proudly. Good job, Chicago.
April 4! But, uh, of AD 1917, so not that recently.

Thinking outside the box: Nepal 🇳🇵
I always loved Angola. I also appreciate the minimalistic design of Japan.
Apologies in advance if I’m doing this wrong. But the 1890 national flag of China was badass. Check out the current Welsh flag though, I’d say it’s close. 🏴
The Welsh flag was my favourite as a kid!
It kind of disappoints me that Wales ruins the standard:flag system in the Home Nations though, if they were to be included in the Union Flag I’d want to see it be the St. David’s Cross with the dragon going on the Royal Standard where France used to be
just add the bloody dragon in the union jack. how hard can it be
U mean design and style? If so then I like north macedonia
Which countries have the best flags in terms of flavour?
Greenland: 🇬🇱
Isle of Man: 🇮🇲
Papua New Guinea: 🇵🇬
Albania: 🇦🇱There is something about the aesthetics of Greenland’s flag I just really like. It’s simple but pleasing on the eyes. Maybe the way that the circle is offset, rather than centered.
You’ll probably like this proposal for the flag for Antarctica then
Gorgeous, I love it.
Though at the same time, it sorta reminds me of the logo for No Man’s Sky, haha.

Vietnam:
Angola:
Nepal for originality:
I thought the Angola flag looked bad ass so I looked the country up on Wikipedia. This struck me as a bit odd.
“Angola achieved independence in 1975 as a one-party Republic, but the country descended into a devastating civil war the same year, between the ruling People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), backed by the Soviet Union and Cuba; the insurgent National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, an originally Maoist and later anti-communist group supported by the United States and South Africa”
That is odd, aaand now I have to do a deep dive on the Angolan civil war, great. Lol
I like Canada 🇨🇦, Wales 🏴 and Bhutan 🇧🇹
Flag of Iran, or the flag of the Kingdom of Hejaz (gone). Nothing political about those choices in particular, i just think their flags are the prettiest.
Iran flag is peak design.
really pushing the tricolour to new levels.
those stylised letters really give them a cool aesthetic. regardless of what’s written. peak graphic design.
Someone else mentioned Seychelles, so I’ll also throw in the rather awesome, Jamaica:
To my knowledge, Jamaica’s is the only national flag to not contain red, white or blue.
Oh wow, that’s cool. Didn’t know that :-)
🇧🇷
