Please vote for the best flags; you may choose up to four flags. The top four 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.

What's so special about Haiti, Jean? I'm really not feeling that center piece.

Bears just love convoluted centerpieces! And they adore complex coats of arms.

It just looks copied and pasted and out of place, not really integrated. I dunno.

I'm surprised that so far Norway is behind. And I hope South Korea gets more votes!

I could only find two tat I liked: Kiribati and Tonga.

I, muchh like Jean, like crests and coats of arms but the Haitian flag just didn't do it for me.

Canada, Kiribati, Norway

Kiribati flag really does not look like a flag to me - more like a book illustration or something like that. But it is very appealing.
Canada - well, love the maple leaf!
Norway - another Scandinavian flag, another major love of mine :)

Kiribati flag really does not look like a flag to me

What's worse, Kiribati is not even pronounced "Kiribati" :panic:

Had to look that up :) Who knew that it would be pronounced in such a strange way. As a general remark - why spell things differently from their pronunciation? :wtf: :panic:
Thanks for the interesting bit of info, pablo - in Russian it is pronounced just as it is spelled.
