I disagree, it’s just a couple branches and a flower, a child can redraw a basic flower and branch. Doesn’t need to be exact. Brazil is a good example, just draw the right number of stars doesn’t need to be exact
same with this just draw a sun
or tree
etc

I would argue the words and stars mean the Brazil flag is failing rule 1 and 4. Argentina should simplify the sun — same for the Norfolk (and Lebanon) tree. Hong Kong
flower is better, though they should drop the stars1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I’m my view, a good rule of thumb is whether the design works on the scale of a postage stamp (because that’s what it looks like on a flag pole) and these details don’t work

It sounds like the rules were written from the perspective that European tricolor flags are the pinnacle of flag design and I definitely disagree with that. Agree to not just throw a seal on a flag though.

Definitely heavy European influence, but it starts with strong universal needs of flags being easily recognizable at a distance (ships, battles) and reproducible by a wide range of people

The first design (1st) is easily salvageable though: Drop the flower and leafs, and enlarge the center star (2nd) Perhaps even drop the extra bars (3rd) And remove the small stars (4th)pic.twitter.com/cu2chCVnGg

It does, which I don’t love either. But you would have to give up the whole concept to avoid that

I wouldn’t mind if they just keep the center starpic.twitter.com/PjusQEbIFp

this actually looks pretty cool. easy for kids to draw, and easily recognizable. problem is it might look too much like a hong kong or vietnamese flag...

Yup, though I think that would work outpic.twitter.com/ffpmva1ud6
