I'll admit I maybe snubbed Albania but the rest are mid and their design pattern is done better by something already on the list.

Wales is a great country in many respects (go Plaid Cymru!) but its flag is uninspiring and very overrated.

An awesome dragon that is hard to draw! It'd go hard if this were heraldry but for vexillology I value ease of reproduction.

AppleAmpsTo be fair the dragon's symbolism and history go pretty hard but slapping a heraldic charge on a bicolor and calling it a day is still deeply uninspiring.

Okkkk but if you're gonna violate Vexillological convention it should be in service of something flashier, imo. Sri Lanka is a good example of this.

AppleAmpsLike, that's a flag that is built from the ground up with the cool lion in mind! Wales is just a standard bicolor with a jpg copied onto it.

MossGrowsOnNormanRuins@defcon.social@AppleAmps imo shri lanka, france and mexico should all be higher. I'd disagree with Japan if it weren't for that one incredible captured japanese flag from ww2 with the japanese blessings on the white, and the US soldiers signatures all on the red

AppleAmpsHell, I think if you want a bicolor with a dragon done right you should look at Bhutan! It actually does something pretty interesting by having the colors be diagonal with the dragon dividing them.

AppleAmpsI'm not against unconventional flags but being unconventional *and boring* is a deadly combination.

I could be persuaded to move South Africa down, I guess I just reaaaally like the symbolism there. France is a cool flag historically and because Libery Fraternity Equality but as a design it's middling, imo.

MossGrowsOnNormanRuins@defcon.social@AppleAmps imo the french flag is one of the most impressive to see a massive line of all at once, im not sure what it is about them, maybe the contrast between the dark rich blue and the white.
here's a monet painting of bastille day i saw when i was at the musee d'orsΓ©e that illustrates the point imo

Ehhh, you've seen one tricolor in a line you've seen them all. If Monet had painted the same scene with the flag of like, Estonia, it'd also go hard.
