I wonder, what’s average salary for a flag designer?
So I finally found a picture of the new flag we gave Iraq. Josh Parsons, who rates the flags of the world by design sense, would probably grade it above ours–it wouldn’t look out of place in Star Trek movie–but that’s besides the point.
First off, the old Iraqi flag predates Saddam’s rule, and so replacing it announces some awfully sinister intentions. And second, the new flag has a crescent on it–an Ottoman symbol, not an Arabian one. Whoops.
