(Ignore British territories) there is a flag, of a country or region, that has another flag inside it? Like old South African flag?

Can anyone identify this?

I pass this flag all the time on my commute and I cannot figure out what it is. Found outside of Boston, MA. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the bad picture.

Iceland flag redesign

NOTE!!!!!!!-I used ChatGPT to describe the new flag.ChatGPT said “The redesigned Icelandic flag embraces a modern and minimalistic approach while honoring Iceland’s rich natural beauty and Norse heritage.

The flag features a dark blue background, representing the North Atlantic Ocean that surrounds Iceland. A horizontal, glacier-white stripe crosses the flag’s center, symbolizing Iceland’s vast glaciers and snow-covered landscapes. In the middle of the white stripe is a smaller fiery red cross, symbolizing the island’s volcanic activity and Iceland’s warmth and resilience.

To add a touch of Icelandic folklore, the flag has a subtle, wave-like texture within the blue background, evoking the Northern Lights dancing in the sky. This texture is faint, adding depth without detracting from the simplicity of the overall design.

This new flag captures Iceland’s essence through colors and forms inspired by its striking natural features and unique culture, while preserving the traditional cross to signify its Nordic ties.”(btw i used https://tennessine.co.uk/flags/ to make this flag)

I encountered this flag whilst out walking and I do not recognize it from anywhere.

Can anyone identity this particular flag? It was displayed in front of a house in my neighborhood while I was out walking and I was curious enough about it to post it here and see if I could find an answer.

Saw this bumper sticker- Is it as bad as I think it is?

If it helps, this was spotted in Rhode Island. I tried doing my own search but couldn't find anything.

Proposed flag of the President of Ukraine

ATTENTION: This is a rough design reproduction based on the redesign description of this flag

There is a golden trident on the blue shield. The shield is supported by a Ruthenian lion, a Cossack with a musket and a Crimean tamga

The great coat of arms of Ukraine is used

Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine and the Supreme Court of Ukraine

.+ Information:

A new round of the historical spiral puts new heraldic tasks on the agenda. So, a day before the solemn announcement of the Zluka UNR and ZUNR, on January 21, 1919, the Commission for the development of the project of the coat of arms of the UNR, consisting of P. Doroshenko (chairman), academician O. Levytskyi, H. Narbut, G. Pavlutskyi, P. Zaitsev, M. Bilyashivskyi and V. Modzalevskyi reached certain conclusions, which is reflected in the protocol: a) Determine that at the present time, when the merger of ZUNR with the Eastern Republic took place, it is necessary to record this moment in the corresponding merger of the emblems of both republics in the coat of arms of the Cathedral of Ukraine. Such a coat of arms will be clear and understandable for the broad strata of the Ukrainian people, in addition, it will be convenient to compose, because the elements that must be used for this do not cause any doubt. This is a Cossack with a rifle for Eastern Ukraine and a lion for Western Ukraine. b) Taking into account the fact that both parts of Cathedral Ukraine arose from the same source - Kievan Rus, it is necessary to include in the coat of arms the sign of St. Volodymyr. However, in two weeks - at the beginning of February 1919 - the Ukrainian authorities were forced to leave Kyiv. Defeat in the Liberation Games led to the loss of Ukrainian statehood, and the issue of developing a large state coat of arms ceased to be relevant for many years. >

Flag of the Island of Elba under Napoleon's rule. Are there more examples, like this, of genuine historical flags? like the first used by a country.

City of Ukiah Flag Concept

https://preview.redd.it/fnntnfidc5yd1.png?width=1700&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7a6feb0a73ee9e212f4a7ba8ddedeb03082ca97

I had the concept for a flag for our city after realizing we don't have one. Just an incopratation of some of our native Iconagraphy, a color palate representing different aspects of out heritage and several Icons of our area including a 5 7 5 star chain (for ukiah/haiku) and a native sequia tree/pinecone. Of course I know the design is cluttered and I would love any feedback or suggestions for alterations.
