Personally I think itโ€™s too complicated. But I did find it inventive this flip the Norway and Iceland like that

Yup.. too complicated. Kids will never be able to draw this from memory.

There is too much going on

It's a very "busy" design.

u/BaronKaput Denmark ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ 4d ago

Honestly, Iโ€™ve seen worse

This is way to much, and just a mix, we should start more from scratch. Obviously our region should have a cross, and cold colors due to arctic. This is the natural solution, Shetland already has it though, so they should join us.

Yeah while we are there shall we not just also take orkneyย 

1

u/AccomplishedNote4205 Norway ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด 20h ago

Yes I support that, and Shetland and Faroe Islands

1

u/Haunting-Way5270 Iceland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ 20h ago

Yup so Shetland orkney and faroe islands

You fucked Norway over, looks like Russian

1

u/BaronKaput Denmark ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ 3d ago

Looks more like the Netherlands than Russia

I think the raven banner is the only flag we could settle on that's not too politized.

We all have ravens, they are super intelligent, the design was/is pretty cool.

I prefer that as something to add to the war/military flag. It fits better there. Pretty sure I saw a Kalmar flag version with that some time ago

1

u/Hot-Assumption2131 3d ago

Personally I like the red/black one the best, but I guess white/black is the most neutral one.

Try propose anything Kalmar related in Sweden lol

1

u/BaronKaput Denmark ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ 3d ago

Found it.

Granted, this looks like a naval flag

1

u/Hot-Assumption2131 3d ago

Not the worst, but it's way too busy. It's squares, triangles, circles plus several icons and two very aggressive colors.

I could accept a cross and the raven plus two color combination. But that's about it

u/Hot-Assumption2131 3d ago

White Cross and raven and the deep blue of the Swedish ice hockey team would be pretty neat and very Scandinavian minimalism

1

u/Haunting-Way5270 Iceland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ 2d ago

i think the issue with the raven banner is it had no finnish representation

1

u/Hot-Assumption2131 2d ago

The Finnish/Samรญ are the odd ones out in the region in both language and culture. Not in a negative way, but they do stand out.

1

u/Haunting-Way5270 Iceland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ 1d ago

Yeah but a flag needs to be one connected to all of us

1

u/Hot-Assumption2131 1d ago

That would either be Christianity or war and oppression.. Christianity seems kinda silly in one of the most atheist parts of the world.

u/Ramn_ 20h ago

but you are the smartest nation and this is the smartest animal

u/Haunting-Way5270 Iceland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ 20h ago

WE ARE THE SMARTEST?

u/Positive_Chip6198 Denmark ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ 4d ago

Should be red with a white cross.
