I've always been fond of Ghana's flag. . . Maybe it's because I used to live there, but the experience wasn't exactly a fond one. I just like the colours.

The US flag sits right on the dividing line between "individual" and "ugly". Stripes a rarely a good fashion statement, and the blue just seems to clash with the white and red. It is preferable to yet another version of the Tricolour (however that's spelt) though.
Personally, I'd vote for the Japanese flag. It's simple, but effective. Although the South Korean one is a good attempt at pimping it up.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

My faivouarite flag is Uruguay. It is a happy flag, reminds me of swimming and summer. The opposite would be Albania, to me. Fire and death it portends.

Me, I'm partial towards Greenland's. Apart from Japan's, it's the only one that draws its inspiration directly from untamed nature. This gives a hint of persistence and significance beyond mere human affairs.
The green flags of certain arid North African countries are also touching, as strong symbols of what is not. They are about hope, and desire, and also all the misery that their pursuit has caused. I gather the flag of Vulcan would be solid green, too.
In comparison, stars and stripes and tricolors and their historical symbolism are... I guess the best word is "petty". So are the assorted crosses, including ours - but at least there's aesthetically pleasant controlled asymmetry in the shape.

And, of course, the Welsh flag has a dragon, so it automatically wins.

Delta actually treated me alright on my recent Florida excursion. My last experience with them was dreadful. But this one has restored their good standing.

Well I don't know what I think of the American flag in a design sense...
All I know is we stole the design (from a VERY appropriate source) along with the tune for our national anthem (which originated as a British drinking song).
