Roman Mars on Flag Design

Roman Mars gives us a candid and enthusiastic TED Talk about his obsession: flags. From the best to the worst designed, Mars gives us a hilarious talk about vexillology - the study of flags - and it it he reveals the five basic principles of flag design, and how these principles are really universal to anything. This is truly about the art of seeing!

 

Roman Mars is obsessed with flags - and after you watch this talk, you might be, too. These ubiquitous symbols of civic pride are often designed, well, pretty terribly. But they don't have to be.
