This would be ok if it were a little bit stylised. Not much, just make the island a cleaner saucepan shape and remove the beige tower for the lighthouse or whatever, just leave the green triangle and enlarge it so you can actually see the fucking thing. A flag should represent concepts, not be a fucking picture.

>>2864151
In fact, fuck that. make top half white, bottom half blue, with a thick green line as a divider, and a green triangle at the center of the top left quadrant.

All these extremely busy flags are hideous. A flag should have at most three colours and preferably only a single design element. A good principle is that it should be simple enough that a 6 year old could draw it from memory.

Nordic cross flags are good examples of this, of the ones in the thread we have:
