Omackeral

And it's a fantastic comeback right at the death!

Match 3

Miyagi



vs

Mie

Zaph

Mie - prefer that shade of green, and the symbol is pretty interesting

Purgative

Yes as Zaph said Mie

Citizenpain

Miyagi , prefer that shade of green

ari101

Miyagi - nicer shade of green and I'm seeing the lotto ad where the dude in the flats installs water slides for the whole block, 'cause he had to share the 7 million - better than a french horn hogging the always scarce deck chairs

Earthhorse

Mie - not much to choose between these. Prefer the shade in this one. Though I do think some of these colours would look more natural on an actual flag and be less intense.

Cosmo Kramer

Miyagi for me. Looks like a more modern take on the Irish shamrock - presumably it has nothing to do with it at all, but that's what makes me like it all the same

quickbeam

Miyagi - I like the tripple swish, and it's a nicer background shade.

Omackeral

Another tight affair.

Miyagi advances to Round 2

Match 4

Oita



vs

Fukushima

Earthhorse

Fukushima - love the colour and the off centre effect

ari101

Fukushima - a vote for the turtle, he needs votes give the level of radioactivity in the water there (too soon...? :eek:)
I like the symbol is off centre and I also note if that wasn't a silky, I doubt I could overlook the orange in your face colour

Purgative

I like the devilish Oita but Fukushima use of orange is unusual and the symbol off of the axis

Cosmo Kramer

Fukushima - nice colour and interesting placement of the design on the flag

Reberetta

Fukushima

Zaph

Fukushima - I like the way the symbol is wandering towards the top left corner rather than behaving and staying put in the middle.

Barna77

Fukushima. Love the orange colour.

Oddly enough, Oita looks like a biohazard symbol.... paired with Fukushima. Coincidence much?

Fukushima- like that it’s off centre and orange reminds me of warm summer evenings

Citizenpain

Fukushima

Omackeral

An absolute hammering here.

Match 5

Chiba



vs

Hyogo

quickbeam

Chiba - the star is nice and the other one just looks too washed out.

Reberetta

Chiba

Earthhorse

Chiba - just about

Montage of Feck

Hyogo, I like the sky blue and white. Also its one of the few flags that doesn't look like the flag of futuristic mega corp that's involved in building dodgy cyborgs and genetic engineering.

ari101

I'm struggling so I did a Kathleen

Chiba
Yellow fringed white emblem on blue field. The emblem is stylized Katakana characters of Chiba ( chi = チ ha = ハ ) which represents progress of Chiba. Blue stands for hope and progress, yellow for prefecture flower rape blossoms.

Hyogo
White stylized Kanji character of Hyo of Hyogo in wavy shape on blue field. White stands for brightness and honesty and blue for Japan sea and Setouchi sea.

I suppose it feels like more effort went into Chiba so I'll vote there

JP Liz V1

Chiba a tad bit more interesting

Barna77

Hyogo

Purgative

Chiba - prefer that blue
