Obviously it got rejected, it doesnt have the Romanian flag

This was never intended as a flag

"The barcode has been featured in a number of prominent European newspapers, mistakenly touting it as the new European flag to replace the current twelve gold stars. This, however, was certainly not the idea behind its conception. The barcode was merely a suggestion for an extra symbol, parallel to the existing EU symbols, to bring Europe in a new way to new audiences."

That's not a flag, it's a printer error.

Imagine having to remember this flag in school.

If you flip it twice and shake it vigorously, nothing particular happens.

I think, out of fairness the french flag should be rotated 90 degrees.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

I can see why

I see the problem: the lines should have been horizontal

It’s not very pretty. But I like the concept.

Well, it be easy to identify on a flag pole, at least. You wouldn’t be able to spot individual details, necessarily, but what else would look this busy?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago

And America would rejoice for no longer having the most overstuffed flag.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

I have to say that is goofy.
