That organization is the North American Vexillological Association

Flags are meant to be seen from either side, which is why letters/words are such bad flag design (beyond ruining the purpose of symbolism).

Oregon "fixed" this by having the only two sided state flag design in the US.

Back to the states with some more US City Flag GLOW UPS

First, just to show that NAVA (North American Vexillological Association) is changing lives, here is their report on the Mesa AZ flag. The PRETENDER flag ranked 146/150. NAVA wants to UPGRADE

My sincerest apologies to the village of Mackinaw City, MI. The flag I posted is merely an official city "winter sign" required to be printed on a rectangle of nylon fabric.

Thanks to the intrepid reporting of CRW flags for uncovering the TRUTH

There is a place where cities know how to design GOOD FLAGS. That place is Japan. Over 1,000 municipalities and I& #39;m struggling to find any BAD FLAGS

Almost all follow GOOD FLAG design principles.

This is why they have high speed rail and we don& #39;t

By the very high bar set, and by no means egregious, these are the BAD FLAGS of Japanese municipalities

Aira City (their old flags were much better!)

Ibusuki (another recentish flag from 2014)

Kariwa

Nasukarasuyama (cute!)

Hard to choose but here are my favorite of the many GOOD FLAGS among Japanese municipalities

Kyoto Prefecture flag

Shizuoka Prefecture (it& #39;s not only a map of the prefecture, it& #39;s Mt Fuji!)

Date City

Nonoichi (nice)
