I love how you had to put, 'Actual County Flag' on there cause otherwise I'd think you were exaggerating them hahaha.

[flame_warp]

"Oh, they can't be THAT bad."

*the animator didn't even redraw the fucking flags*

"Oooohhhh

[hamishwoodland]

Damn I thought the animator was exaggerating the badness of the flags. They weren't at all.

[r.pizzamonkey]

Liberia putting their watermark on all of the flags

[GeniusLad]

"THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS REAL!"
*google*
"Oh my..."

Only Graphic designer in Liberia is BEST Graphic Designer in Liberia.

Those flags have some good concepts, they just look like they were drawn by someone who has no idea how to draw anything. Liberia should pay any half-way decent random artist a few bucks to redraw those flags, and they'll look good.

Having these visuals for the flag episodes really improves the experience. Very well done, I hope you keep at it!

[NineSun]

I had to look them up on Wikipedia ... I hope those flags came from a pre-school contest and somehow ended up being the real state flags ... There is no way, anyone would pay someone for these designs ...

[josephcarrick]

imo the Japanese flags kinda just look like well designed corporate logos.

[Ziggo]

Thats some nice animation. I like how you change the details as they are mentioned.

[oohyeeuh]

God damn those Japanese flags are sexy.

[maryland]

Its even worse when you find out that Maryland County used another flag that was SO much better. Look up the Republic of Maryland.

[taskmasterjosh]

the Japanese Prefecture flags look like pokemon badges lol

[XalphYT]

This one had me laughing from start to finish.

[capcamouflagepatterni]

River Gee county actually uses an even worse version of the flag, where both of the trees in the background are flying.

[legoboy]

I didnt think this level of bad flag design was possible.

[eair]

He is actually pretty good at describing stuff!

[popalupa]

It's like they were trying to make them look bad

[the_kraken]

Well.. at least they meet The flag criteria of “a child can draw it”
