MERCH

SUBREDDIT

It's like this was a group project at school where no one could agree on a design so instead they split up the space and everyone did their own idea.

i reached a level of nerdiness so high, i am freaking watching some guy rank coat of arms

[aston-s]

So I disagree with number 23 being the worst, Döbling is the worst surely? So many of these could be redesigned and simplified using existing elements it's infuriating

[LotsOfS]

Would love to see a part 3 where you redesign these to something more simple yet still maintaining some of the most significant elements of each. I have some ideas myself but I'm not Viennese so I'd probably just offend people.

The people creating them: *Graphic design is my passion*
They may not be great designs, but just be thankful they weren't created in MS Paint like the Liberian county flags are

[riograndedosulball]

Chaotic evil take

These are the best designs, because they are aggressively anti modern, and thus, way more interesting than if they weren't

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong
West Vienna, strawberry-goat-guy mama
Take me home, country road

Or just do what we do with our capital...no flag nor shield what so ever. Because the national flag and emblem are good enough to represent the entire nation and its spirit

[KopernikusGKK]

what threw me off: left and right in heraldry are normally used as seen by the bearer of the shield..

[hlibushok]

Well, so we've figured out what is the worst coat of arms in Vienna, but we still don't know what the worst coat of arms *in existence* looks like.

Translating the Names made me laugh. xD Ottakring could have been translated with "otter minor"

[impulsivegeneaglot]

Good video! However, I cannot help but think that you were being too harsh on Christian symbols. Like it's part of history, it's not about relevancy? We need the heritage to be properly preserved. The part about Newbuild's CofA, the Ottoman's invasion of Vienna is an indispensable part of their history, we cannot just drop it for something like a crescent and a star just because 15% of the population is Muslim right?

[beanbagburrito]

Kinda infuriating that so many of them could just pick one of the many sub shields and make it the full one and it would be so much better

[TheDandjo]

Dude, you confused me not numbering the districts in order of their real numbers.

[Favmir]

Ottakring flag would look AWESOME if they got rid of the left side and only left the right side.

[FairyLiquid]

That doesn't make any sense - a coat of arms within a coat of arms? What's next, a coat of arms within a flag within a coat of arms within a coat of arms?! Oh, that was next...

[swaggerdagger]

Bruh the graphic designers were just trolling with these 🤦‍♂️

[DasZuckerhaus]

These coats of arms represent how we austrians like to solve problems: everyone gets everything :)

[UNVIRUSLETALE]

Me starting the video: it couldn't be that bad...
It's worse, way worse than I thought

As a Floridsvillager (I probably wrote that wrong because it feels very weird to type), I am ashamed.
