Design and art obviously aren't mutually exclusive, music is generally considered an "artform" and isn't even visual ala painting (arguably the archetypal artform), while design, especially in this manner, actually is.

i left the counterchange on because it kind of symbolizes the present day greenland flag symbolism/changes (#2) white circled star on a blue background with red filling the gaps in the circle from the circled star (red means the sun and ocean and white means the glaciers, ice cap, icebergs and pack ice, both like on the normal flag, but the ...

Also, Greenland is only off-centre from North if you arbitrarily put the centre of the map through Greenwich. If you travel in a straight north from any point, you get to the North Pole. That's just how it works. The Greenlandic flag was designed much earlier than the South Pole flag and none of these were considered in the design.

A while ago I created this alternate flag for Greenland, for a possible authoritarian-fascist aligned government. Lore: Black and White represent the country's location on the North Pole, as the day/night cycle is dominated by either 21 hours of light during the Summer and 21 hours of darkness during the Winter.

Dec 20, 2020 · In 1985, this flag was one of several proposed to become the flag of Greenland. However, the Parliament of Greenland decided to keep what is now the current flag in an 11-14 vote. Other flags proposed included a flag with a white background and a green Nordic cross (essentially an inverted version of the above flag) and Greenland’s current ...

Jan 1, 2023 · It's a deliberate act of distancing from the nordic cross symbolism and tradition while simultaniously preserving the colours and the asymmetrical nature of the danish flag. It's a very fitting flag for a country that is struggling to find its own way into the future, between dependence from Denmark and the attempt to deal the colonial past.

Edit: Also, Greenland literally almost picked a nordic cross flag, it lost by a pretty low margin, so it's still incredibly wrong to call this insensitive. The Greenlanders call both flags by the same name in Greenlandic, christ sake.

Aug 3, 2021 · Greenland's redesigned flag looks fucking awful. Colours aren't nice, and the lack of the split circle removes that cool look of a sunset. I don't see the point of keeping the two-colour spilt element if there's no circles.

May 28, 2015 · The flag of Greenland was designed by Greenland native Thue Christiansen. It features two equal horizontal bands of white (top) and red with a large disk slightly to the hoist side of centre. The top half of the disk is red, the bottom half is white.

Jan 18, 2022 · I really don't like this one... Mainly because the diamond shape is so close to touching the edges of the flag. It should be further from the edge. Also, it has a weird 3D effect. Sure it follows the "principles of flag design", but it looks really off. And a more interesting color would be nice, like the orange flag by Whitney Smith.
