I like this one even if it goes against vexiological principles of flag design.

I don't know enough about flag design to see why this flag is a problem. It's fantastic.

Reminds me of Maine voting to keep their crappy current flag

I liked the one with the butterfly, personally.

Second one looks really good, first one could be a nice meme template.

Did you read the explanation for the third one? It is awesome but would be impossible for citizens to produce freehand (is that even done nowadays? Even in schools?)
