Thursday, May 09, 2002 Bar Code or Bender? A number of folks have commented on the new EU flag design and proclaimed it hideous, but I like it. It's really quite wild and colorful, and different. A whole new take on flags just as the original Stars and Stripes changed everything about flags, too. My only problem is that the red stripes seem to cause optical illusion clashings. At least it does on the computer screen. Furthermore Prior to the U.S. flag, all other national flags represented either a family (with crests and heraldic symbolism) or Christianity (Great Britains triple Cross Union Jack). The U.S. flag was abstract with colors symbolizing qualities and starts and stripes numerically representing member states. posted by Mark Butterworth | 3:15 AM | |
