I think they should cut out a state... then they'd have 24... and can have another circle around the original circle . Or maybe you can put a star in the middle too .

Though I REALLY like the colors .

What is the meaning of the EU flag?

Unity and perfection of the 12 stars are the official meanings, IIRC.

Besides three also 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12. It's the smallest number that can be divided by so many other numbers. Ten only by 1,2, 5 and 10. The decimal system sucks!

Remember that thread where we suggested new EU flags a few years ago? I've still got my suggestions from that thread saved onto my HD. Here are some of the cooler ones...

#1: The only europe-specific flag shape combine in an aesthetically pleasing way with the current design.

Arabic numbers and their multiplication logic are much more rational than stars and their addition logic.

Do we want to end up with a cluttered flag like the Yanks ? No.
The Arabic number is extremely elegant, and will be convenient once the EU spans on the whole world (except Turkey )
