Angela: hey, I have an idea for a flag.
EU: Us Too!
Angela: alright, lets see it.
EU commits Self Delete, bleeding onto a white sheet

You're not the only one, a friend of mine called the flag the "LGBT flag in 2050" and I lost it as well. He also calls it a barcode flag and we joked about the US building a giant ass barcode scanner to buy europe that way. Which lead to this image being made.


this is just something a redditor made https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/7b7qbf/the_rejected_eu_flag_updated_to_todays_28_members/
here is the original on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/CrappyDesign/comments/7b5ce8/rejected_flag_of_the_eu_2002/

here is the wiki entry of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Europe#European_Union

In 2002, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas designed a new flag, dubbed the "barcode", as it displayed the colours of the national flags of the EU member states in vertical stripes. It was never officially adopted by the EU or any organisation, but it was used as the logo of the Austrian EU Presidency in 2006.[37]
