Five principles. One studio.

Drawn from the North American Vexillological Association's Good Flag, Bad Flag. Our editor offers gentle hints as you go.

1
Keep it simple
A child should be able to draw it from memory.
2
Use meaningful symbolism
Imagery should relate to what it symbolizes.
3
Use 2 or 3 basic colors
From the standard contrasting palette.
4
No lettering or seals
Never use writing of any kind.
5
Be distinctive — or related
Avoid duplicating; show connections deliberately.
