The Liberian County Flags Animated

I love the Liberian county flags because they manage to be a genuinely unique and memorable set of flags for relatively small regions without falling into many of the pitfalls that tend to plague flags made for smaller regions of other countries. Contrast these with the flags of lesser known cities and regions in other countries and you'll see that the vast majority are forgettable seals on a monochromatic background. Liberia, on the other hand, actually tries to incorporate local symbolism in colorful designs, which is far better for creating a memorable and meaningful flag that you could recognize from a distance than just throwing a seal on there.
The flags have become a bit infamous among the vexillology community for being crudely drawn (which is what got me thinking about them), and while a few of them could certainly be cleaned up in their artwork, I don't actually think major changes would be an improvement at all for most of them. I've seen several non-Liberian vexillologists' attempts to design cleaner versions of the flags, but in all of these that I've seen, they tend to abstract the artwork into basic shapes, which may be cleaner looking, but has far less meaning. I think this is something to watch out for when ever designing flags for small regions: Compared to something like a national flag, there's going to be less local symbols that could still be recognizable once abstracted, so it's often better to leave those symbols as more specific drawings, even if they look unpolished, rather than lose that aspect and be left with just another geometric design that could really represent anything. I think far too often smaller cities and counties just give up on designing flags and resort to a seal on a bedsheet just because they don't have the same sort of local symbols that work as abstractions like more well known flags, and so I commend Liberia for actually giving it a go.

I'm a middle school teacher and taught a mini lesson of vexillology just week, where we discussed why these flags were simultaneously so great and so terrible. I cannot wait to show my students this video tomorrow.
GREAT? they litterally used MS Paint and even copied parts over cause they were too lazy to spend 5 secounds creating a new one
@@adrianamundsen6939 thats the terrible part
the great part is it freaking sums up the whole counties history
@Orange ball my students were very confused by these flags. Many comments along the lines of "I could have made a better flag." They also happen to be too young for MS paint so they compared it to the drawing tool on snapchat.
@@catalyst.-_ the great part is that a child is capable of drawing these flags
I don't know whether to love these or hate these.
Hate

U.S : help me
It is me or they hired a 3 year old to draw almost all of the counties flag’s?
when you learn the meaning behind the flags you understand that these flags are actually pretty good!
What symbolism is there behind "hand with pole and river"?
Really cool 👍🏻

Nice work put more effort to it then the design of the flags
Did someone go on MS paint too make these flags
Yes. Unironically, yes they did.
Maryland is my state. But why did they think about Maryland 2 in Liberia?
The Maryland in Liberia was actually originally an independent country. It was named that when it was settled in 1834 by freed slaves, mostly from Maryland the state. There were other settlements named after other US slave states at the time, but I believe Maryland is the only one that still has that name.

Wtf😂
These are good concepts but so poorly executed that it’s a national embarrassment. All we had to do was create a seal and properly embroider it on a flag (like every other state, county, region, country, etc.) … but M S P A I N T. 🤦😬
