How did this get copyright flagged? Did EA get to it this quickly?!

Qsie 2 meses atrás

My question exactly! I hope we hear more once it gets resolved ❤

Leak 2 meses atrás

I guess EA must have read "flag" in the video title as "plz flag"... :(

That final flag design is actually super cool

Jon Forsythe 2 meses atrás

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 2 meses atrás

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.

Josef Stalin 2 meses atrás

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

Kent Slocum 2 meses atrás

@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!

Josef Stalin 2 meses atrás

@Kent Slocum well I can definitely second that last part

eLNeroDiablo 2 meses atrás

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!

notanimposter 2 meses atrás

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!

ArcticFox140 2 meses atrás

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!

Cryonicprawn 2 meses atrás

I can't believe Grey didn't spend 8 months and a plane trip to Redwood City to see if EA knew about the origins of 3D World Atlas. He's come such a long way since Staten Island.

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.

Whenever CGP releases a 5 minute you know there's going to be a 55 minute "footnote" video that didn't get in the full video.

Catherine Lu 2 meses atrás

I'm actually kind of relieved and shocked to see such a simple, non-convoluted video from Grey for once. What a plot twist

Nox Ultionis 2 meses atrás

Damn. The second flag is satisfying on so many levels and lines up with Antarctica's theme far better than just posting a picture of the whole continent.

Ada H 2 meses atrás

This is why Grey is my favorite educational BRvidr-- he can do months of research, animation, and voiceovers to create some of the best media on this platform that is engaging, interesting, and very well produced. Loved the video so much, Grey.

Dok Champa 2 meses atrás

Thankfully the newer one is cooler anyway

Pedro Scoponi 2 meses atrás

For anyone outside the gaming sphere, the reason Grey mentioned EA's involvement with the vocal equivalent of this emoji 😬 Is because they're _infamous_ for, among other things, a bad habit of buying gamedev studios that made something cool, beloved or unique, getting their grubby investors hands all over the next products until it's noticeably worse, and then promptly firing everyone and sending the poor, acquired studio to the mass grave. It is a tragicomically frequent occurrence.

I'm proud of him for not losing himself to another Tiffany-style rabbit hole of tangents....but at the same time, you could talk about flags at length and I think we would all appreciate it.

Lovecraftian Walrus 2 meses atrás

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.

Noctuoidea 2 meses atrás

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.

Valery0p 5 2 meses atrás

Also the Antartic Treaty flag dates back from the 1961 emblem, that's been around for a long time

Kedo 2 meses atrás

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!

Energya 2 meses atrás

It's quite a cool flag indeed. I also love the detail that its aspect ratio is wider than usual so the central icon will remain visible for longer in the harsh Antarctic winds

Sousy M 2 meses atrás

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.

@Hedd Thomas Im pretty sure a lot of what we recognise as Antarctica's outline is just sea ice. There is land, but its not 100% land. Without the ice, it wouldnt even appear as one continuous land mass above water.

For anyone wondering, the flags at 0:43 are (from left to right): Oskar Pernefeldt's proposed "International Flag of Planet Earth", Pascal Lee's Mars flag, The flag of Gondor from Lord of the Rings, An unidentifiable pizza-looking flag (maybe an invention of Grey? Seriously no idea), And what looks like a stylised German heraldic eagle [edit: turns out it's the flag of Syldavia from Tintin]

While I do love the True South flag (the dark blue and white flag discussed here), I was surprised you didn't mention the Whitney Smith orange and white flag. To be clear, if they ever do officially assign a flag to Antarctica, I'd love it to be the blue and white one, but the orange and white one does make some interesting and reasonable choices worth mentioning.
