Fortunately, nowadays their flags are more interesting than

I’m not sure how this historical element has been overlooked so much among the many discussions of a new Massachusetts flag design. The following information is collected from the wooden statue’s Wikipedia page:

- The Sacred Cod is a four-foot-eleven-inch (150 cm) carved-wood effigy of an Atlantic codfish, painted to the life, hanging in the House of Representatives chamber of Boston's Massachusetts State House‍—‌"a memorial of the importance of the Cod-Fishery to the welfare of this Commonwealth" (i.e. Massachusetts, of which cod is officially the "historic and continuing symbol"). The Sacred Cod has gone through as many as three incarnations over three centuries: the first (if it really existed‍—‌the authoritative source calling it a "prehistoric creature of tradition") was lost in a 1747 fire; the second disappeared during the American Revolution; and the third, installed in 1784, is the one seen in the House chamber today.

What do you think?

Feel free to ask me questions or say anything about the flag redesign of Poland.

Saw this on Instagram and have no clue what the green flag is. I know the blue one is for Crimean tatars.

There are almost all countries, and I can see flags or national flags that have now disappeared or changed.

Tochigi is a prefecture in the region of Kanto in Japan, adopted its flag on March 1, 1964

This is the flag of Sanseito Party, which is the right-wing party in Japan.

Obligatory “the place I am from desperately needs a flag redesign but nothing on this sub spoke to me” post. I am no graphic designer, so please be gentle.

Instead of a comment, I’ll just talk here… - Bottom of the shield of arms with the maple leaves replaced with trilliums…I think it’s cute. It’s a nod to the coat of arms while being uniquely Ontarian - Loyalist crown…to reference the Loyalists. Although, to a lot of Ontarians, crowns no longer represent the Crown (tm), but rather provincial associations. So, it is nice to add regardless. - Colour scheme…similar to the original. I see the original flying every single day. A similar colour scheme would cause the least whiplash.

As for the actual compositions I have (Reddit may mess with the order like it did the first time I tried to post this, but)… - The one I like the most, the one with the thin stripes on the sides. - The Canadian Pale, which looks super empty to me. I wanted to add something like a gold ribbon wrapping around the back of the middle stripe? Not sure. - The “me messing around with composition randomly” one. It actually looks kind of cool, thoughtlessness aside.

I tried other colour schemes and none seemed to work as good with what I had, but obviously I did not try everything and there could be a magical combination I did not stumble across. What do you guys think?

And elements…I wanted to add more things, but I didn’t want to be too on the nose. And fitting more elements into the composition would have been a very difficult task that I do not have the skill for.

Ok. Thank you for coming to my Ontario TED talk. Please be nice.

I know that some people won't like this, but I wanted it to be similar to real-life native american flags, not to be visually appealing to me in particular.

The 8 red lines represent the 8 bands of the Pasin nation, red to represent that all people in the nation have underwent hardships and the blood spilt from colonization.

The green square in the middle represents the Pasin peoples' connection to nature, while the four circles with symbols represent the sky gods: Sun, Moon, Cloud, and Wind.

The central bear head shows the main Pasin god, Aǫtem, who represents victory, strength and hunting.

Övörkhangai Province is a province in Mongolia, they use a non-rectangular flag, and I think is the best subnational flag in Mongolia.

Pays de la Loire is a region of France, it dosent have an official flag, sometimes, this flag is used to represent the region. Features elements from all its departments and historical provinces combined, adopted in 1986 (de facto).

This is a film about the New Zealand Land Wars, the siege of Orakau specifically during the Invasion of Waikato in the 1860s. I recognise the other flags the rebels have as real flags or at least based on real ones, but not this, white handprints on a black flag.

Tried looking it up but couldn't find anything similar, I know hand symbols are popular among the followers of the Ringatu Maori church in the modern day tho. And people of the Ngai Tuhoe tribe (where most Ringatu are from I believe) were in this battle/film so part of me wonders if it is based on that? but idk.

I dont think hand print was a popular symbol among rebel Maori at the time also.

So yeah, this a real flag or just made for the movie?

This building houses the Starlite room music venue and River City Revival House restaurant and bar. This flag seems to have an apparent theme, but is it based off anything? or seen anywhere else? What does it fully represent
