Unique Flag : Nepal

The Nepalese Flag  is the world’s only non-quadrilateral national flag. The flag is a simplified combination of two single pennons, the vexillological word for a pennant. Its crimson red is the colour of the rhododendron, the country’s national flower. The flag was adopted, with the formation of a new constitutional government, on December 16, 1962. The individual pennants had been used for the preceding two centuries and the double pennant since the 19th century. The flag borrows the basic design from the original Hindu design, which has been in use for more than 2,000 years. There are even instruction of how to draw the map to exact measurements using pure mathemtatics.

 

Assessment: I think flags should be more creative like this and use more unorthodox ways to represent their countries. so that way we not only get unique colours and emblems but also unique shapes. Should flags all over the world be redesigned and adopt new features. There’s nothing wrong with modernization , some maybe feel they lose the traditions of their fore fathers work but its important to move with the times and keep doing new things to improve them.
