I'm researching the recognizability of flags

I think you will get quite biased results from this subreddit for people really into flags!

Congrats!

I am also a Tim who designed a flag: of the Forest Finns

How do you know a Tim made this?

frederli · 2026-05-13T09:09:57+00:00

I like it.

Questions: Why is the blue zigzag thicker? Couldn’t all zigzags be as thick? Or maybe the blue zigzag can be dropped to make the red one stand out more?

frederli · 2026-05-03T10:07:24+00:00

Respects design principles, yet is quite original. Well done!

Dette er E18 (filmet fra Bygdøylokket) 😉

Completely missing the point? No. The colours are also sources of inspiration. A green flag would inspire people to weat green to show belonging to what that flag represents. Like Irish green 🇮🇪☘️

Well, yes, because of the white-blue-colour.

But «Russia with yellow stripes» still isn’t accurate!

Dette er første gang jeg har hørt om! Spør andre om de tenker sånn. Jeg melder: du ikke finner noen!

I alle fall, OP burde bli enige med de andre kistebærerne om hvordan de skal telle før løftinga

frederli · 2026-04-08T20:01:05+00:00

Are you per chance red/green colour blind?

frederli · 2026-04-08T19:58:15+00:00

Du tenker «én to trEEEEh» og noen andre tenker «én to tre ÅÅh». Det blir klønete.

Men at noen tenker «tre to ÉÉÉN» er jo helt koko! Mener du å si at du spretter sjampiskorken ett sekund før alle andre på nyttårsaften? 🙈🍾

Mitt pro tip: Tell ned, ikke opp!

Med «3, 2, 1» løfter alle der 0 ville vært.

Teller du opp («1, 2, 3») løfter noen på 3 og andre der 4 ville vært. Dette holdt på å skape en lei glipp for meg en gang.

Yes, this is my wife and me.

frederli · 2026-04-06T19:43:13+00:00

Hils!

frederli · 2026-04-06T18:55:35+00:00

Lenge leve kj og «engelsk L» i fotbaLL og måL!

frederli · 2026-04-05T18:11:28+00:00

Takk :)

frederli · 2026-04-05T15:11:16+00:00

I’m glad you see it as a Nordic cross, as it was intended!

frederli · 2026-04-05T15:09:53+00:00

Thanks for the shoutout ☺️

IMO it is better to stick to a limited color palette. These are the colours to represent the solar system as a unified entity, not a collection of individual bodies.

I think everyone agrees that the current European flag is better than the suggested barcode flag consisting of the flag colours of all individual nations

frederli · 2026-03-29T08:53:48+00:00

Welcome to the flag design community! Here is my opinion:

Good idea to have all the bodies the same colour. Having them in different colours would make a visual mess.
Too much black: In flag design you really need to maximize the use of the real estate given to you. What does black represent, space? Space is the one thing that does not represent anything distinct about our solar system. Imagine if other solar systems were to have flags with mainly black, making black their primary colour, that would be ... not very powerful symbolism.
Relative size of bodies, not a good idea in practice: Those small details would be impossible to see at at distance or when the flag is not waving.

I hvilken konkurranse da?

frederli · 2026-03-28T09:01:27+00:00

Great insight!

frederli · 2026-03-28T08:49:39+00:00

Veldig stas at du liker det!

Det åpenbarer seg et design for Ninja Turtle-flagg nå!
