    There are always exceptions. The vexillology association has a list of recommended design concepts and that list includes something along the lines of "you don't have to follow these rules as gospel, if it looks good it looks good" The flag of the US State of Maryland is the best example of this.

    @@mafv4091 I'm just using it as an example of a flag typically seen as breaking the rules of flag design but still looking nice. For example, it isn't easy to identify from far away if you don't already know it, it is hard to draw, it literally is a coat of arms (or at least based in the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore), it uses a tacky combination of colors. And yet it works. My point still stands that you can make a good flag even if you don't follow the "rules" of flag design. Edit: so the flag of Maryland is actually based on the coats of arms for the Calvert and Crossland families, who Sir George Calvert belonged to both of (the Crossland family being George's mother's family) so this flag has to Coats of Arms!

    scoot. The problem with coats of arms or sigils is they weren’t meant for flags. They were meant for use on paper, where you can see the details very well. For a flag that has to be very visible, even over greater distances, using sigils or coats of arms makes no sense. I would rather pick one central element, simplify it and put it on the flag instead of the whole sigil or coat of arms

Most of them break the 5 basic rules, and many of them break the basic rule of heraldry (which applies equally to vexillology): "No metal on metal, nor colour on colour". On an overcast day, at a distance, most of these "creations" will just look like a random blur.

A cross on the top right, representing Orthodox Christianity, and the 9 stripes that it has are actually suppose to represent the words: "Freedom or Death" (Ελευθερία ή θάνατος) from the Greek revolution of 1821.The re-design takes that away, but retains the Cross representing Orthodox Christianity, but added olive branches surrounding it, which is a nice touch if i do say so myself Edit: Sorry i realised it was the coat of arms.

    Two basic design requirements that need to be seen in flags: 1) The ability to recognize it from a distance and 2) Simplicity. You want a flag a child can draw with coloured pencils, and you want one that is distinctive enough, with sufficient clarity. A really good example of a flag that fits this is the Chicago flag. Simple, clean lines, anybody can draw it. That means it can be used on a variety of objects easily. One reason we see such simple, bold colours in flags is the background in medieval heraldry. The concepts of "Metal on colour/ Colour on metal" work extremely well.

    As a Singaporean with familial links to Malaysia, that Malaysian flag is atrocious. Firstly, It makes no sense. Green would make more sense than blue (after all Malaysia is tropical and Its national religion is Islam). Secondly, removing the stripes would ignore the historical significance of the stripes, which were taken from the East India Company's flag as a nod to Malaysia's colonial past. I propose a flag of green and blue, to represent the jungle and sky and the straits settlement crest, with nine crowns as opposed to 3, to represent the sultans of Malaysia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_Settlements And 13 spikes radiating out of the crest to represent the 13 states of Malaysia.

    7:54 Green would probably represent connection to Muslim world ( since a lot of them are muslims ) 8:05 About our new flag, there is a lot of comments about 'new' style of our coat of arms, so this would probably be good idea but with coat of arms that was in use until 2010. ( The original one, not new masonic one) And, since our flag is basicly Russian flag upside down ( and yea it is, since that most of serbian ships in period of ww1 was w/o flag, Serbian sailors used russian flag as russian fleet was strong, and just to be clear which is which. they used to fly it upside down as to most people would be still Russian flag and those ships would be avoided ) . Hence, Serbia actually do have its older flags, yellow feild with red eagle on it ( Search Nemanici dynasty online ) . Otherwise, we really need part two of this since this is absolutly amazing video to watch and be part of it.
