Is our fate sealed?A flag should be more than simply a seal on a plain background; it's a great opportunity to represent a country, state, or city with meaningful imagery. Some of the most iconic and striking flag designs in the world are the simplest, using stripes, stars, and other basic elements to represent and unify large groups of individuals. A successful flag not only showcases the best of a political entity, but also does so in an aesthetically-pleasing way.
