After the start of this post, I've made it a personal goal to learn all the flags in the world and get 100% on the quiz. Would be a cool thing to know.

Got 161.

A lot of those African ones do blend into one another after a while.

And the bloody Middle East needs to stop having red, white and black on every flag!

Oh yeah, Marshall Islands Win!

eSwatini nearly changed their name again in the time I was away.

Semi Final 1 is at 18:00

Semi Final 2 is at 19:30

136 / 197. Their Bhutan dragon was hillarious!

cdeb

It was a bloody zebra!

Have to commend the voters on Boards, three great semi finalists. And Argentina, but I think that's more down to the way the draw fell than anything.

Any of Marshall Islands. Dominica or Namibia would be a worthy winner.

Marshall Islands and Dominica are similar.
Might lead to one of the other two winning

the thing about it is a few weeks ago I would never have guessed the obscure ones like Bhutan, Marshall Islands, Dominica etc on the quiz, now they are the easiest ones

Your semi-finalists are;

Namibia

Dominica

Argentina

Marshall Islands

I was flicking back through the thread there, Namibia have gone on a hell of a run, they've knocked out St Kitts and Nevis, Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana - four of the best flags out there, they've had a tough draw in nearly every round and they're still standing with only four countries left.

What happened to Uruguay?

Semi-final 1 - expires @ 19:00

Namibia



VS

Dominica

cdeb

Ooh, fluttery!

I think I need to let bygones be bygones here and ignore who they've knocked out. Time to take each on its own merits here.

I'm still not convince by that green/black/yellow Dominica combo. Add in the purple and white and there's a little bit too much tbh.

Namibia - I don't think it's a finalist, but it's a better put-together flag here, and that's the question being asked ultimately.

So - Namibia

Father Hernandez

Namibia, nice mix of three colours and a sun. +1 for Windhoek being a nice beer.

The Dominica flag just doesn't do it for me.

Dominica for the winica, that and its nicer

Skylinehead

I'll plump for the colour-shifting bird this time. Dominica. Although Namibia is lovely.

Not that it matters when the Marshall Islands will win.

md323

Namibia for me.

Nicer colours.
Don't like that Dominican one at all.

Earthhorse

Namibia

I only voted for Dominica to knock out Albania.

Which sounds like a lyrics from The Elements song.

Pawwed Rig

Dominica - so the parrott does not cease to be

ArnoldJRimmer

Two great flags, but gonna go for Dominica, prefer the colours and design

Deeper Blue

I have to go for Dominica here

It's very unique and I'm a fan of the colour scheme.

While the Namibia flag is nice I really don't feel it's particularly head-turning and to be honest I'm amazed it got this far.

KathleenGrant

Namibia I like the use of diagonal stripes, the colours are vibrant and the sun really does give a feel of energy and life to it.

davetherave

Namibia has a nicer palette of colours, it looks more pleasant on the eye.

normanoffside

Dominica is the clear overall winner for me. Love that Parrot.

quickbeam

Both great, but Namibia is more flaggy, and has pleasing colour combinations, and has a nice story to its design.

quickbeam

Somebody mentioned about messaging the embassy of the winner, so this might be handy (opens as pdf).

Argentina is the only one of the semi finalists to have an embassy in Dublin. You'd have to go to London for Dominica or Namibia. Marshall Islands isn't listed at all, so not sure where we'd send them if they won.

Vote Namibia

While the Dominican parrot is cute, the rest of the flag is quite jarring. You'd get a headache from looking at it too long. Namibia's is much more pleasant; still colourful but relaxing.

Baggly

Namibia as it looks more flaggy

ozzy jr

Dominica for me.

I'm all about the parrot, got to keep him going.
