Graphic Design Critique: Nation Flags

This person has taken it upon himself to critique each of the flags of the world by the quality of their graphic design, and assign each a grade.

Gambia gets the only A+. Gets props for, “Great design and colour choice. Also represents the geography of the country (without being a map).”

The ultimate failing grade goes to the Northern Marina Islands (”Appears to have been constructed from clip art. Truly awful.”)

The U.S. flag gets a ho hum C+. (”Too many stars: If one is good, fifty must be just right.”)

Although not receiving the lowest score, the flag of Turkmenistan must come in for a dishonorable mention for losing points in all the categories of: Eyewatering, Too many stars, Too busy, and Makes me nauseous. (”Only flag to both make eyes water and induce vomiting.”)
