      In 2002, a proposed redesign for the European Union flag, created by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, was met with widespread criticism and ultimately rejected. Known informally as the “barcode flag,” it featured vertical stripes in the colors of all EU member states’ national flags. The intention was to symbolize unity and diversity within the EU by representing each member equally. However, the design was widely ridiculed for its resemblance to a barcode or even a deckchair, leading to its dismissal as a serious contender for replacing the established EU flag. Despite its rejection, elements of the design were later repurposed for the visual identity of Austria’s EU presidency in 2006.

      yeah that thing is hideous, and goes against rules of good flag design: easy to draw and few colors

      If you scan this at self-checkout, the machine explodes

      Are we sure this was supposed to be a flag and not a barcode?

      It looks terrible. At this point you might as well keep the flags as tiny rectangles

      I like the current EU flag but this makes me appreciate it even more.

      A screen less then 50” will show that as uniform white

      It looks a bit like a barcode or maybe the design for a towel. Maybe a pair of weird 1970s curtains?

      Smash all the flags into one big flag is just a stupid idea.

      The Commodore 64 flag!

      Now imagine the Ode to Joy made by Rob Hubbard 😎

      It looks like the 70s plastic ribbon strip curtains they put over doors to keep flies amused

      Its not just that its hideous, its very particular for a specific time period when these styles were popular in design. The current flag us far more timeless in my opinion, and would not have to change every time a new member joins (or leaves… UK)

      If these colors were printed on a resistor, and roughly mapping the colours to [valid colour codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code) and ignoring the final multipler code, its value would be 5524230425654240232246669999 Ω

      Thanks, ChatGPT; no question too stupid for you. Now I wonder if it could solve an escape room…
