Europe needs a better flag, the 12 star one is kinda boring. I suggest a modern version of one of these:

1920 European flag proposal, with every countries flag arranged radiating out from the center. I think this looks tuff, it just needs to be reworked with modern flags.

1951 flag of Europe proposal by Salvador de Madariaga. It has the geographic location of each capital as a star in a constellation (the big star is Strasbourg). Again, I think this looks really cool, it just needs to be reworked with the new capitals.

1951 flag proposed by Hamries. The Es stand for Europe.

Which flag do you think is best? There’s a whole list of potential ones here, check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Europe

No it doesn’t it’s just a circle with 12 stars. I think the constellation one is a lot better

i like simple flags more than complex ones. i don’t think a child could draw the constellation one from memory whereas the circle of stars is nicer. it says a lot by saying very little

Yeah that’s true. What do you think about this one? https://alpha.wasteof.money/posts/697a8b1ccec5c90a82401e89 Maybe it’s a little more simple

I actually do think the first two flags in this post are tuff, the latest one is just a joke though, I saw one of those flags irl and realized how similar it was

I like the current one. Also I feel obliged to be pedantic and say that it's the EU flag and not Europe

Technically it’s called the flag of Europe on Wikipedia, so… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Europe

Yeah same. I think they should make a version for the US States
