wolves were extinct in most of europe but seem to be making something of a comeback
maybe bears are kind of the same way
Wolves are coming back because of the presence of the three wolf moon t-shirt, it has given them unnatural power. They hunt in packs of hundreds now and fear neither man nor steel.
I think they're both pretty nice, actually. I guess the rectangular design would be less jarring, but they're both good.

Japanese subnational flags all really take the approach of the national flag: a design, generally circular, of some sort, in the middle (one or at most two colors for that), and then a solid-color background.
And the vast majority of those designs are pretty awesome.
A sample:
Chigasaki
Koga
Nanao
Higashikagawa
Ito
And it's like that in every city in the country.

I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.
I've always liked Israel's flag. It's a simple, centered design that uses an easily recognizable symbol, the Star of David. I also like that its layout and colors are based on Jewish prayer shawls.
The first thing I thought when I saw them was, "Hmm, when the entire universe is run by interplanetary corporations, these will look really cool painted on the sides of their mechs."
Some finnish city and county Coat-of-arms. Some of them are even recently designed (in 90:s). Maybe its the heavily regulating them that keeps them looking heraldric, not corporatish.
Local weasel representing now defunct province and my home city Ice-hockey team.
Now what US-flag really need is more weasels. Maybe 13 weasels to represent the original 13 colonies on a field.
or 13 crying eagles instead of stars, if you want more American animal.

we have the same thing
as in, heavy regulation of what counties, cities and municipalities can do with their coat of arms
"You know how everyone's agreed that stars are good on flags?"
"Of course.
"You know what's better than just a few stars?"
"What?"
"A few dozen."
With the combination of lots of stars and lots of stripes, I always thought the US flag was incredibly old-fashion looking, like something modern that was styled after very busy medieval heraldry. But that's just me.

Wait what.
Seriously?
yep

Reading up on European Lions made me really fucking sad.
Lions! Real live lions in Europe. That would have been awsome.
Fucking Greeks, Fucking Romans.
There are a huge deal of bears in Europe.
Also there are some bison in Eastern Europe, but not many.

The first three look like corporate logos.
Hmmm.
I suppose they don't look like Japanese corporate logos.
I'm glad Canada has a simple, easily recognizable and fairly unique national symbol. Even without the flag, the maple leaf can stand on its own.
i think that a maple leaf is kind of a dumb idea for a national symbol
but damn if it doesn't make a handsome, iconic flag
then that maple leaf can eat a dick

You sure about that?

I don't see how at all.

The stars are used for nice designs on some of these.

Red is, after all, one of the handsomest colors you can have a on a flag.
The real mishap is when you get two flags that end up, by coincidence, looking like each other (Burma and Taiwan).
No I'm pretty sure it's awesome.
Haters be hatin'
