Best
π¬π§ It pains me to say, but the union jack is probably the best overall flag. Iconic, easily recognizable as an icon or a flapping piece or cloth, it does the function of Flag perfectly
πΈπ¨ Seychelles always stood out to me as a striking and simple design, one that stands out among a sea of flags
π§π· Brazil is iconic, and a good example of when you can be loose with vexillology design principles
π΅π· Puerto Rico is the better version of what the US flag was trying to go for
Worst
Every Tricolor flag. Not merely boring, but also actually bad at being easily distinguished as the flag of a particular nation. A total failure to Flag.
Flags with union jacks as an element are cringe, and also difficult to distinguish from each other. Only slightly better than a tricolor.
π§πΏ Belize just looks like a blob on blue, and is my pick for worst unique flag. Still manages to be better than the previous two categories.
