Re: A flag to represent European people?
You are fully entitled to comment on anything in the forum. All I expect of anyone posting is an interest in the topic and a bit of knowledge. What we don't know we can learn from each otherSary wrote:I feel like I should not keep commenting on the castle flag design ,because I am American,but since nobody else is.....

Re: A flag to represent European people?
The difficulty is in finding or inventing a single symbol which can represent the whole of Europe. I doubt it's possible. Combining the cross with a pagan symbol such as some kind of sun wheel I think works pretty well since the meeting of pagan and Christian traditions was unique to Europe, at least to begin with. Consider these:

Some proposals for a different EU flag:

They are not very good.

Re: A flag to represent European people?
Rem Koolhaas's design is kinda cool ,modern futuristic looking. Another striking flag imo
Is it a rainbow barcode?
So many designs to choose from.....the perfect flag ,worthy of representing all of the European people,each country,part of the whole.
A difficult decision

Re: A flag to represent European people?
I must confess, I didn't properly read the explanation to the Koolhass flag and I see now that it is quite clever, moving from west to east and converting all the national flags into stripes. But the end result still looks like a deckchair.Sary wrote:Rem Koolhaas's design is kinda cool ,modern futuristic looking. Another striking flag imo

Imagine if all the citizens of Europe voted for a single flag to represent them. What would they find acceptable?
For me, there are two colour combinations for flags that work really well - black-white-red and black-white-blue. Unfortunately, the former can be very reminiscent of Nazi flags so one has to be careful with it.

I like color scheme of this flag
I think that the the old paper background is a good choice ,it is neutral ,gentle ,pleasing to the eye. It gives an old world feel to written word,red and black look especially nice against it .
Perhaps a little lighter in color.

Problem is the flag is similar to georgia flag. Therefore it's impossible to choose it as an european flag.

Re: A flag to represent European people?
This flag has cool design, look closer to Georgian flag but the style is pretty good.
I personally like the flag on the left top, but why not.

This Georgian flag symbolises Europe perfectly. What do you think if we rotate the flag in opposite direction? I know it isn't a revolutionary idea.

Re: A flag to represent European people?
This one has symbols of four ancient European civilisations: a Thor's Hammer for Nordic, sun wheel for Slavic, triskele for Celtic and Lambda shield for Greek:
It should probably represent Rome as well though. Maybe an imperial eagle could be put in the middle.
