Design the perfect EU flag

[Dom Pedro II]

What is that? A flock of birds flying into an airplane engine?

First idea:

Since the EU is a Union of independent states, like the United States is (or was...) I think many of the principles that went into making the US Flag should apply to the EU flag. Bars for the charter members and stars for current number of members. Add gold stars when new countries join.

[OzzyKP]

Second Idea:

Big V looks kinda cool. Stands for Victory and Peace, good things for the EU to promote. Colors are colors seen often in EU member flags. Can add more stars in the middle and on bottom when more states join.

Big V?
Isn't that from Commander Keen?
It looks like a pro-palestine statement, no thanks, eurocoms flag would be the thing
in that case.

for the first one, homewer.

i think the first one, Ozzy, looks very good, but I just KNOW 90% of Europe won't go for anything resembling our flag

Question : Why not just leave the flag the way it is? Thus far I haven't seen anything I've preferred over the original. The original is tasteful and subdued... I like it

Yes, but have you seen the new 'barcode' edition?

[Dom Pedro II]

Wait... I thought that was only a suggestion?

Because Finland want's it own star :doitnow:

[Dom Pedro II]

*sigh* Well, I suppose the best thing to do then is simply put a map of Europe of all the current members... each time they add a country, just fill in the gap.

You can't just do it like the U.S. flag, of course, because all those stars in that big circle will look somewhat ugly.

Why not leave the flag just as it is, BUT add 3 stars more?

[Dom Pedro II]

Well, the problem is that there may be more members later and then THEY have to have a star too... and like I said, you can have maybe fifteen stars in the circle and then it starts getting excessive... and I don't think putting them in rows on a blue background is very attractive either.

Aaargh! Flame! Spam! Troll! Flame! Spam! Troll! Rant!


I say we get the bar-code flag then!

[Dom Pedro II]

Uh oh... I broke Tuomerehu.
