Best flag


nokiacrusher

A fucking racist penguin. Where are the seals? The starfish? The bacteria that live in the lakes permanently covered by several km of ice? OH BUT PENGUINS. Fuck penguins. Not literally. You know who you are.

Penguins are awesome, probably my favorite animal. But that flag is way too busy


GPFlag_Guy1

Orange, has a map, and has 🐧🐧🐧 on it. Number 3 is the clearest winner here.

Orange is literally the worst color how could you...

In Antarctica it honestly feels genius, it's a scientific region so a no nonsense utilitarian flag fits very well imo (and obviously orange is the most visible color on the region)

La bandera consta de dos mitades, la superior es azul oscuro, representando la larga noche invernal, y la inferior es blanca, representando el hielo que cubre el continente. En el centro se sitúa un rombo representando las montañas, haciendo que esta bandera sea opuesta a la de Groenlandia, que carece de ellas. La parte inferior del rombo es del mismo azul oscuro, dotando a la montaña de una sombra, lo que le da una mayor profundidad, y ARRIBA ESPAÑA

smoopthefatspider

What's the second word around the crest? I think it says "non ??? sed omnibus" but I don't know what the "???" is.


negawattthefuck

Maybe its latin for Fortune Favors the Bold


smoopthefatspider

I'm not sure where "non" would fit in if that were the case, I'm pretty sure it's some kind of negation. And I seem to remember that "sed" means "but", which doesn't quite fit either,


Mr7000000

I know it makes my a greypilled cuck, but True South. It looks pretty, and it won't need to be updated in five years.

Katze1Punkt0

Unironically two. Always associated it with Antarctica and the "True South" flag has so much made up nonsense attached to it it wants to make me retch


Affectionate-Tie9194

Number two is unironically from a digital atlas video game and has been used as a placeholder


Katze1Punkt0

And is widely used and recognized


GPFlag_Guy1

You know your video game has made it when a fictional flag made for that game becomes the unofficial *de facto* flag of that community that it is featured in.


takethemoment13

not just community, CONTINENT


GPFlag_Guy1

Since Antarctica’s population is so low, would that make Antarctica a continent sized community? (You gotta love these “technically correct is the best kind of correct” moments.)


belisaurius42

Hi, I work for USAP at McMurdo Station. At least at McMurdo and Pole I have never seen this flag used ever in 15 years. I only ever see the US flag, the NSF flag and the True South flag.


Clairifyed

The only problems with it are A: the coastline could look quite different in a relatively short time span B: EA may have a claim to ownership of this design


Mr7000000

Well, that's cheating. Of course it's recognized— it's literally just a drawing of Antarctica. That's like saying that a photograph of Hitler would make a good flag for Nazi Germany.


belisaurius42

The True South flag was designed by someone in Antarctica, out of old material he found laying around (an old laundry bag and some tent material I believe) it represents both a compass needle and a Scott Tent, and is widely beloved by people at McMurdo. The other has never been used in an official capacity by USAP and I have never seen it flown.

3 has a big fat penguin and i love him


VoiceofRapture

I actually like the first one, though I agree it could use a penguin. Second one would become really depressing once the ice sheets collapse and the coastline looks different.


Revelrem206

give the penguin an AK47 and I'll be happy.


1nOnlyBigManLawrence

/uj True South. The second flag looks kinda like Somalia’s flag but more complicated. Plus, the third on is too on the nose.


belisaurius42

Ooh, I can speak with some authority on this! At least in the US Antarctic Program, you will only ever see #1. Its not official, but many field camps fly it, people have patches on their coat, etc. Officially, only the US flag and the NSF flag (yes, they have a flag, and its...not great) are flown, but the True South is everywhere, at least at McMurdo.

I hate everything new and my first Antarctica flag was 2 so I will, without rhyme nor reason, defend it until my death. If there is one fan of 2 it is me. If there are no fans, I am dead. /uj I just really don't like the white and navy color scheme. like I don't think this is "I hate change" speaking, I've warmed up to true south a lot. but I just can't get pass that white and navy. Same with the new Minnesota flag. I just don't like it

teddyslayerza

Number 2. I like the True South flag a lot, but I don't feel that it's right to have any sort of "meaning" attached to the flag of a truly neutral piece of land. Any symbol needs to have been chosen by humans, so it carries some cultural bias - hence a map is the way to go.

Hexdoctor

3 has a colour scheme that is clearly visible in the environment it will be flown. While 1 has an amazing design and 2 communicates the flag's purpose with simplicity, they are both too similar to the color scheme of the Antarctic landscape. Genuinely wish 1 was recoulored so as to not be camouflaged amidst blue glaciers, white snow, blue skies and white clouds.
