Good Colours

Gambia

A+ 90 / 100

Great design and colour choice. Also represents the geography of the country (without being a map).


Good Colours

Pakistan

A 88 / 100

Best use of the star and crescent. Unfortunately, it depicts something astronomically impossible, namely the eclipse of the moon by a star. But perhaps it's not a star but a nuclear satellite-weapon aimed at India?


Simple

Japan

A 87 / 100

A classic. Simple, to the point.


Good Colours

Good Shape

Simple

Somalia

A 86 / 100

I think this one beats Vietname by just a little, owing to superior colour choice and a smaller star.


Simple

Turkey

A 85 / 100

South Africa

A 85 / 100

Colours a little eye-jarring, but overall very nice design.

Israel

A 85 / 100

Cuba

A 85 / 100

Good Shape

Simple

Switzerland

A 85 / 100

Simple

Viet Nam

A 85 / 100

Not quite as nice as Somalia.


Graven Images

Canada

A- 80 / 100

Hmm... that maple leaf? A difficult question, but I think not quite stylised enough.

Faroe Islands

A- 80 / 100

Nicest of the cross flags so popular in Scandinavia.


Good Shape

North Korea

A- 80 / 100

The star is very well placed with regard to the shape of the whole flag, but the overall design is just somehow lacking in zest.

Chile

A- 80 / 100
