How do you like the German flag from a design and aesthetics point of view? Please don't consider any associations with the country, current politics, etc.

I don't like it. It has too little contrasts and could be seen as brown from far away. Belgium did a better job with those colors because the yellow next to black gives it more contrasts. My favorites are Russia and Netherlands

The first time I saw the German flag I thought it represented fire.

Red reminds me of blood.
Yellow reminds me of envy.
Black reminds me of death.

The black/white/red one was better

???

Isn't green the traditional color of envy?

>>61293043
I love it from the historic point of view, representing the fight people fought for centuries to gain freedom and democracy (its colours originate from the uniforms of the militias fighting against Napoleonic oppression in the early 19th century - the first kinds of freedom fighters we had)
Aesthetically it could of course be better than a tricolour, but still I think it's the most beautiful flag we had up to this point. The German flag until 1919 (red-white-black) is too plain and uncolourful for me, and the Nazi flag just seems like an elaborate company logo.

I really don't like our flag, it's a relatively generic tricolor, eventhough it's not as bad as the red, white and blue tricolors.
As a kid the yellow and red always reminded me of fries and ketchup and the black were burned ones. I've been a fat child.

GDR flag was cool, prussian flag was cool. A lot of your regional flags are also very nice.

Are you aware that only dollars are fully green?

The currency bills of Israel come in different colors.

Always interesting to hear what other ppl associate the colors with. Burned fries, ketchup, normal fries is my favorite so far

Like I said, I also think that it's aesthetically/colourwise the best flag we had up to this point. Also, history only adds up to the design. Nobody would say that the French flag is one of the best designed flags in the world, but because it's so associated with the French revolution, it has its own iconic style.
The only flag that can compete with the tricolour imho is the Wirmer flag (pic related) but since it's abused by the fucking right-wing retards of PEGIDA it's considered unflyable

>>61293043
boring tricolor

It's just a tricolor.

not a fan of flags that are just 3 colours

talk shit about the leaf all you guys want but flags without symbols are meh

If they choose a good pattern and colors, it looks pretty good, like Bulgaria or Estonia for example

I liked the black-white-red one better, just from an aesthetic point of view.

Black-Red-Gold has to little contrast and is a shitty colour combination in general.

Not that it matters

UK. Even if I don't like the country that much, you can't debate the absolute beauty of its flag

Bhutan, Liechtenstein and Estonia have nice flags.

It's actually a lot better than the Coldsteel-tier Imperial flag.

Germans like beer, The black to me represents industry and work, and the red represents the blood of Your ancestors, other than that it's a nice flag

I like the colours. It looks serious and has gravitas. Reminds me of autumn and sunsets. Red white blue is way too overused.

>>61293043
the black looks like a bbc thats on a long tongue and the yellow is the blonde girls hair
thats germany nowadays

Tschuldiga? You quoted the wrong post...
But hey, their flag is OK, albeit "Islamic white/black/red/green" is overdone.

First time I saw it I wondered why anyone would put black on their flag. Guess I didn't like black that much.

It's just another tricolor really can look great in the right context.
