This flag design for the extremely popular video-sharing website YouTube is a pile design, which means that there is a triangle on the hoist of the flag. On this flag, I used a pile to resemble the "play" button of YouTube videos, and added two vertical bars in the fly to resemble the "pause" button. The colors red, white, and black, are the main colors of the YouTube logo.

Canadian Thanksgiving Day
If the United States has a Thanksgiving Day, Canada should have one, too. And if I design a flag for the United States Thanksgiving Day, I should design one for Canadian Thanksgiving Day.
The flag's proportions are 1:2, the most common flag proportions in Canada. The colours of the flag are the Canadian colours, red and white. The partial cross represents separation from England, and is in the shape of a T, for thanksgiving. A representation of the constellation Orion appears on the hoist side of the flag, symbolising harvest time. The constellation on this flag is made of thirteen stars, representing the thriteen Canadian provinces and major territories.

Anchorage, Alaska
This Anchorage, Alaska, flag design consists of a hoist-facing yellow pentagon on a blue background, with a blue anchor in the center of the flag. The blue and yellow represent Alaska and the anchor is a symbol of the city. The arrangement of the yellow shape is similar to the geographic layout of the peninsula which Anchorage sits on.
The current flag of Anchorage is yellow with the city's seal on it, and of course, the word "ANCHORAGE" on it, in all caps. Although it's unique, it needs a much simpler format. My design keeps the uniqueness, but retains all symbolism, and looks as good at the current flag, possibly even better.

Ontario
You must admit, the current Onatrio flag is quite complex, along with that super-complex Union Jack. And since Canada is independent from the United Kingdom, their provinces could help display that fact by removing the Union Jack from their flags.
In this design, I a red background with a white cross. The red and white are the colors of Canada, and the cross hints at the United Kingdom, but doesn't scream it like the real flag. I took the green shield with leaves and transformed it into a canton for this design, and the result looks as Ontarioan as anything.
A masterpiece, if I do say so myself.
Serbia
I bet you've heard of the recent split of Yugoslavia into Montenegro, Serbia, and Kosovo. Kosovo's new flag is easily much better than the other two nations'. Montenegro's is complicated, ugly, and just plain weird, and Serbia's is not only complicated and just plain weird, but it adds to the European tricolor confusion, but it doesn't seem that they'll adopt a flag without a tricolor, so I designed this flag.
I kept the Serbian tricolor of red, blue, and white, and instead of the coat of arms, I placed a Serbian cross in the canton area of the flag. It's golden because Serbia is looking forward to a "golden" future.

BIG NEWS
The flag of the United States of America is a bad flag. Many people, especially Americans, disagree with that statement. Why do they? Well, my guess is because they are attached to it and have grown up with the design and feel that if they criticized their nation's flag, they would feel unpatriotic or something. In other words, they are proud of their nation and feel that they should be proud of their flag. This should not be the case. People should not be proud of a bad flag design.
Now people ask, "Why is it a bad flag design? It has tons of sybolism, and it looks great." Yes, that is true, but did you know that a flag will always have a lot of symbolism if you cram way too many symbols onto one design? That is why the United States flag is bad. Because it is much too complicated. People might say, "No, it is not complicated. There are only stars and stripes." Now, that is false. Only stars and stripes? And how many stars and stripes are there? "Only sixty-three." Only sixty-three? ONLY? The United States flag is complicated and should be changed.
Some people might ask, "Why does it need to be changed after 47 years?" Well, things change over time, especially the United States. The original thirteen stripes and Union Jack wasn't a good design, either. Way too many stripes; it gives some people headaches, I'm guessing. Also looks like a candy cane when wrapped around a pole. Now that's funny.
Anyway, things change, and flags do, too. It is time for a change. Also, did you ever wonder why the stars are five-pointed? There is no reason. There goes a lot of that "symbolism". What do stars have to do with the United States? Nothing. There goes a lot more of the symbolism.
Then people might ask, "Well, no design could be better than the current United States flag." If people design some, we will find one design which stands out.
I am hoping for a new flag for the United States of America. I will be trying to design some, and looking for more. If you have any designs, please email them to me.
It is time for a better flag for the United States of America. I can't wait!
