When i first saw the stars and stripes version with a swastika instead of the stars ... man, goosebumps ! Making the axis and japanese flag into one is easy but the swastika on stars&stripes, union jack and tricolore...that's heavy stuff Basically every seal or logo gets overshadowed by a swastika nearby, that's how strong context is. Imagine one on brasil's, canada's or even funnier...russia's and China's!

"Aka" in Latvian means "a well", which you sort of can see in that shape - logs enclosing a well from all four sides. And yes, that symbol somehow also represents the Sun and the world. Swedish-Latvian or Estonian-Latvian unions would actually make sense, except there already are EU and Baltic assembly, so those would be kind of redundant.

I only found out about the contest recently but gone in and voted for some of my favourites, especially loved the Latvia-Estonia Union. Love designing flags on my free time, so I will definitely participate if you make one in the future.

The Greek Cross with the Turkish crescent in the very center... that one genuinely sent shivers down my spine when I saw it in the thumbnail. Aside from the fact that this is never ever going to happen ever: the hypothetical architects of such a union should at least have as much common sense as to design something brand new, not use two of the most divisive symbols in recorded history. One on top of the other. In opposing colors. Plus imagine all the "boo hoo, our cross is underneath your crescent, so offensive" and/or "whine, our crescent is smaller than your cross, so offensive"... /rant, sorry. Nice video :-) pax
