Roman Mars: Why city flags may be the worst-designed thing you've never noticed



I love this TED Talk, because I love Flags. I want to see you, give you my company products and talk about flags with you.

Roman Mars: Why city flags may be the worst-designed thing you've never noticed (script)
Summary
The definition of design is to make life better and provide joy. All around us has the design. If you pay attention more and seriously think about all forms of design the world will be turned beautiful by magic.
The speaker talked to us about the design while giving flag examples. It's because you can understand the design of almost anything, if you understand the design of flags, what makes a good or bad flag at once. The flags are close to us and work on our emotions.
There are the great country flags in the world. Those have important principles which are simple, deep meaning, having few colors, no lettering and distinctive. They'll obey it because they're on the international and the stakes are high.
However, city, state and regional flags seem different somehow. Every great city needs a great flag, doesn't it? It'll lead to creating the good relationship of good design and civic pride. If you had a great city flag, you would have a banner for people to rally under to face those more important things.
