I have never seen that flag design before but it's perfect! What a great design & what a great companion to Greenland's flag. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
May the Science be with You
To make it perfect, the blue at the top should be replaced with black and the blue triangle shaded in orange, to reflect Antarctica's most iconic inhabitants.

My favorite flags are the ones that can be reasonably drawn by hand. The American Flag is pushing it with those thirteen stripes and 50 stars, but at least they are simple shapes. The flag of my home State of Oregon is entirely too complex and detailed for anyone except exceptional sketch artists to get right (and practically impossible to do entirely by memory). However, this Antarctic flag is a brilliant combination of simplicity, beauty, and meaning.

As a fellow Oregonian I feel obligated to point out that our flag also has 2 different faces meaning you'd have to draw both sides if you wanted to fully represent the flag. But hey, at least one of the sides is easy

@Josef Stalin I'm not an artist, so even a "easy" drawing of a beaver would easily defeat me. Plus, I work for the University of Oregon, so I think I'm legally obligated to avoid anything involving beavers. Go Ducks!

Australian state flags are just about as bad as some US state ones - sure, the National Flag is iconic enough, but look up the flags for New South Wales or ACT (Canberra) for example, and see how complex they get with the Union Jack plus State Crests and other complications!

Actually the white sheet is a very fitting Antarctica flag in my opinion. No military could ever fly it in battle. A flag of peace and snow!

So... Grey is going to go dark now and in 9 months we'll get a video drop of him actually in the Antarctic talking to the son of the guy who made the original design for the 3D atlas company, who will give Grey a mysterious sketch book that belonged to his father that will have concept art of said flag done by someone dated in the 1800s. Going to be epic!

The greenland flag being a kind of opposite to this one is so perfect to me. One has red while the other has blue, one is north while the other is south, one has most of the color on top while the other is on the bottom, one has a round shape while the other is pointy. If I were an alien and I discovered these flags in their respective countries I'd assume they were some weird earth hieroglyphics that translated to top/bottom and were just being used to label the top and bottom of the planet.

My favourite part of all my favourite parts of Grey's videos is his wonderful voice-over. Not just the sound, but the emotions. So much glee, or anger, or confusion, or hesitation, etc. Of all essay BRvidrs I watch, this is the pinnacle of voice-over. What an acting talent!

I love This flag so much. The design is really memorable, and there are so many meanings to it, the mountain casting a shadow, the night sky, the compass, the diamond and the parallels to Greenlands flag all make it so cool and I really hope it gets more recognition.

I know you probably cut it for time, but the timeline is deceptive since there have been several contenders for the flag design before and after the Bartram flag. There was Smith’s 1978 design, Cooper and Tucker’s in 1995, Hamilton’s in 1999, and Leroi’s in 2007. I think all the designs are pretty great for their own reasons, but I agree that the 2018 one is probably my favorite as well.

love the flags video... as someone *almost* living in New Mexico, I can definitely agree with New Mexico having the best state flag. Only thing is that sadly the Zia symbol on the flag was actually a secret religious symbol that was basically stolen, which is unfortunate. I learned this when I bought a hoodie with the symbol and it came with literature explaining how a) NM might not technically have a right to put it on the flag (but it didnt stop them) and that b) the suggested restitution for this was to donate to the Zia Pueblo education fund, and so part of the purchase of my hoodie did just that. Also I'm a patreon bonnie bee. TY for all the videos past, present and future.

For the sake of Grey’s wellbeing and mental health, I’m super glad he managed to contain himself. For the sake of my own cruel and easily distracted mind, I’m slightly disappointed there was no hour long descent into existential madness. I am a bad person. Simple or labyrinthine, our household is going to end up watching it 12 times and rewatching the entire back catalogue anyway, just like we do every time there’s a new video CGP Grey video. We will create our own descent into madness, as it should be.
