Fun With Flags: Round 1 - Group A

[mae]

Please vote for the best flags; you may choose up to six flags. The top six will be moving on to the next round. This is NOT a vote for which country is "better". We are strictly voting based on the aesthetics and the design of each flag, not taking into account any geopolitical issues. Below each flag you'll find a link to the Wikipedia article about that flag, if you're curious to find out more about its history and symbolism.

[Jean]

thank you for PMing me, pablo! I am trying to participate in whatever I can, but the old head is bursting every time bears try to concentrate

hope it's only temporary...

[mae]

Hope you can indeed participate, Jean! As for my choices, I went with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Tanzania, Grenada, Kiribati, Argentina, and Romania. I find B&H's flag really unique, not a great one, but very interesting, and Tanzania's is very striking. Even though it's a simple one, I really like Romania's colors and their order (sometimes the colors can be good, but the order isn't).

[mae]

Somewhat surprising that Kiribati is leading so far, but it is a pretty interesting flag.

[Jon]

The colors are beautiful!

[mae]

17 voters so far and zero for Sierra Leone. A bit surprising, the colors aren't garish or anything. What is it?
