Right folks... I've made my decision and it's not one I take lightly. We've gone from 256 flags right down to the last two standing. The final couldn't split them. Overtime couldn't split them. What I've done is taken my favorite two reasons for both and weighed them against each other. It's not ideal but it's either that or flip a coin.alchemist33 wrote:Carababo please. TdF is great too but the symbols on Carababo is just perfect - it has meaning, is not too detailed, and the colours are in pleasing proportionsZaph wrote:Tierra del Fuego - two magnificent flags, a very worthy final. But given how much I generally dislike orange as a colour, it takes a very special flag to make me forget that it's orange, and this is that flag. It goes brilliantly with the blue, and the stars are a nice touch, but the albatross is the icing on the cake. All round, it's just genius.
For me, it's Zaph's that just shades it.
So with that said....The Winner of the Ultimate Battle of South America is Tierra del Fuego

The flag has a white flying albatross, rendered in an abstract style facing the upper fly. Its wingspan stretches from the canton corner of the flag to the lower fly corner. The area of the flag above the albatross is blue, and the area below it is orange. In the centre of the blue area is a stylized version of Crux, the Southern Cross.
The orange section symbolizes the fire that gives the state its name and is in the shape of the larger island, while the blue represents the sky and the sea that surrounds the island. The stars of the Southern Cross, which guided so many travellers through these regions, also symbolize the southern location of the islands and other territorial elements taht make up the province. The albatross is a symbol of Tierra del Fuego and its flight represents freedom.
Santa Catarina
In the central shield, the stars symbolize the municipalities of the state, the eagle represents the productive forces, the key symbolizes the strategic position of the state in the south, the anchor refers to the ocean that bathes the state, and the date 17 November 1889 is that of the adoption of the republican regime. The branches correspond to the coffee plant and the phrygian cap also symbolizes the republican regime. The phrygian cap also represents freedom and the pursuit of liberty.
A shout out also to Kathleen's informative posts and family's decisions, enjoyable

Congrats TdF - I will walk with your penguins again
Props Omack, serious work in getting this together. I have a new found appreciation for the Brazilian flag, and learned lots... It's a pity my flag brain is like a seive or I might do better in the Peehs running :pac:
I'm not generally into traditional crested flags as much, and am very swayed by colour. There were a few I liked along the way (Durazno/Chubut/A navy one with a 4part crest I can't remember the name of
, etc ) that really earned a place in my heart 0 -

I missed the result and the ensuing penalty shootout, so just catching up now. Delighted that having missed them I still managed to be involved in the final decision, it truly is a special flag.
Omack, you've outdone yourself with this one, thanks for a truly epic and hugely enjoyable game. And special credit to Kathleen for doing what the rest of us were too lazy to do and actually find out about the flags. 0 -

Sometimes it's not needed thiugh. Some people it suits to just look st something and say yes or no. I just love that flags have a story to tell. To be honest i didn't see the albatross on the TdF flag. I just saw a white irregular line. But once i read about the albatross and its meaning I was sold. But also reading about the Brazilian flag and realising that the arrangement of stars had meanings on 3 or 4 levels. It really does help me to look at something i have i have seen hundreds of times with a new appreciation.0 -
