    Paul Graham Retweeted John McCafferty

    People in the UK get so used to it that they take it for granted, but the British flag is a great bit of design. And remarkably modernist for its day, as you can see from comparing it to the traditional approaches to combining two flags.https://twitter.com/jdmccafferty/status/1374625196213145601 …

        It's truly the most beautiful flag. Various tricolors are so boring compared to it.

        I stared at these too long, and now I have semantic satiation on the Union Jack!

        I'm a big fan of the asymmetry of it.

        It reminds me how National Party of New Zealand proposed to change its flag but failed... the majority Kiwis from that far still vote to keep the original design.pic.twitter.com/tKNUdZ48eY

        I am glad we didn't choose the Lockwood flag. The only option other than the current that came *close* to being good was the hundertwasser flag.
