...yeah, you might be right. It started as a simple idea of Nazi flag with black helicopter on the center and then got a bit out of hand.

To answer a few questions: my flag was simply every Euronation's flag on top of each other at 15% transparency.

I really like Snap's, but it needs a dash of something...can't figure out what...

But why the Croatian flag in the middle? Not to mention the fact it covers the belgian flag.

what do you mean "in the middle" they're all "in the middle"

I just threw 'em in any old order. It must be one of the upper layers, which is why it's clearer than the majority of 'em.

Has anyone ever seen flags like this before. I saw a couple of these when I was in Germany. Yes I realize that is the German flag, but do any other countries have a similar pattern?

Orange, that red-white decoration on the left, is that supposed to represent a flag as well?

And why does the thing have 7 stars and two halves? The whole point of designing a new flag is that there aren’t just 12 stars for 15 members anymore!

Sure, I've seen enough flags with the Belgian flag (or the Flemish, for that manner) centered inside the stars. Sort of a way of symbolising the conjunction between both I suppose.

Due to the indeterminate number of countries in the EU: how about the existing circle-of-stars flag, but with the stars whirling about too fast to count?

As a logo on computer screens, it would be animated. As a letterhead or flag, it would be a hologram. Designing a flexible hologram for a cloth flag would be the subject of an otherwise useless multi-million-Euro research project, hence profoundly symbolic.

On a serious note, how about a flag with 3 horizontal or vertical rows of 5 stars?

Or how about cross with one star in the middle and 4 legs of 4 stars towards the corners, like the old confederate flag.

(ok that last one was not as serious)
