The individual colours look good on flags but I don't think they really work together here. That red sun-thing looks very out of place, almost like it was slapped on for the hell of it. The scandinavian cross design is the only thing I like about this flag.

6.5/10 I'm not a fan of the green realistic laurel wreath, perhaps if it was more simplistic, or a non-primary color. Or fit within the single blue line, it feels messy how it spread out over the red and yellow, especially where the colors meet. But I do like the color scheme overall

A solid 9 I would say. I like the vibe of the flag and the tone of colors. Vaporware style moon/sun is incredibly good detail. What takes a point away are the way flowers are arranged. If they were more in a half circle or not falling onto the triangle it would've been 10

4/10

Pink on a flag is not a good choice of color, as it looks weird, but seeing this flag, I can infer that this flag has some LGBT symbolism in it. Secondly, the pall on the center of the flag looks a bit too complicated to be drawn by hand, although some might see it as easily memorable. And the third and final thing would be the stars arragned in a ring pattern, it looks too much like the stars on the flag of the European Union, and it doesn't blend well with the light shade of pink, and the central star in the mildle of the pall looks weird as well. Overall, not that great of a design, though I wouldn't call it an excuse of a flag.

4.3/10.

It's a classic flag with a stickman on it - do I need to say more?

The only thing I really like about is the bull-thing in the red and yellow color scheme, looks nice, maybe remove the stickman?

This is so good. The colours seem so naturally combined, as if they are a leftove from a stone age past.
Design is simple, and consistent with that stone age past as well.

It might not be everyone´s cup of tea, but consistency, execution, composition: it all fits perfectly together.

10/10 from me. Don´t change it.

Solid 7.5, I'm going to ignore the person on there, I like the look however the two different shades of blue kill it for me, it feels so neon and outstanding because of the black and white contrast but then the M inside is like a dull navy blue, I would make it match the electric blue on the X. I don't know if the font signifies anything, but I would also make the M thicker and simpler.

I like the color selection, but I feel that the center circle (probably a sun) and the flowers around it are too big. What I would do is make the center circle smaller, and maybe remove the lines, and have the flowers "bend" around it in the shape of a laurel.

Overall, it's an 8/10. I like it.

OK, now it's too simple and cliche. Sorry, but the only thing saving you from me giving you a lower score is that epic bird (probably a dove...Pidgeon? Seagull? I can't tell tbh). 6.2/10 Maybe choose a rather unique design/pattern for the primary colors in the background, maybe it'll work out.

I like it! Your flag has a lot of elements, but it does a really nice job of blending those elements together so the flag doesn't feel too busy or crowded. I do sort of feel like there could be less or possible more thickness of the "spirals" that surround the centerpiece of the flag, as that would make the flag a little more pleasing to look at and a little less busy. I would recommend keeping the somewhat esoteric yet not completely alien vibe of the flag, as that is one of the major strengths of the flag.

Overall, a solid 8.7/10.

I'd say 8/10. The flag look good and doesn't make my retina bleed. It's minimalistic in a way, with no people background or symbols like an eagle, which I think is better that way. I'd see a country with such a flag irl, it seems genuine and the minimalistic approach is what make it good I think. Overall, a pretty good flag, not much to add to it, I just prefer darker colors, though the chosen ones are nice-looking.

N.B: I suggest clicking on my flag to see it bigger, otherwise you'll miss things.

To be honest, I don't like it. The over-sized cogwheel on a white circle, with very small fleur-de-lis in the middle, surrounded by barely seen yellow hammer-sickles and olive branches, and crossed hammers make everything overloaded. It works as an emblem or seal, but not as flag. Plus the dark red and dark blue don't provide contrast, making the entire design gloomy.

There is however strong potential for good re-design, should it be done from scratch, keeping some of the symbols.

Your flag is pretty simplistic, mind you this isn't a bad thing, and it is a classic tricolor of red, white, and blue and doesn't have an equal value of color. The gold star on red somewhat implies communism, which I am assuming is the plan. Overall, just a classic flag and not to its detrimental

Too many symbols with no clear symbolism. Red and white is a good color combination, but the black eagle doesn't fit and is just too big. Just those three vertical lines with a horizontal line crossing over them on the white bg on their own would be both simpler and better looking, in my opinion.

The flag itself looks nice, I find the design to be somewhat simple and the design to me dosen't seem like a flag a actual nation would have but rather an organization. I'm going with 6/10, not a bad flag.

I like the flag a lot. The black and while puts the symbol in focus. Even the bird symbol fits in well and doesn't distract you from the main symbol in the centre. The flag fits the nation very well.
