The flag of the Dominican Republic. It has a nice contrast of colors. Blue, red, red, and blue. All divided by white, making the colors stand out more. In the middle you have the bible and the cross, representing the DR's rich catholic history. These two are complimented with 2 olive leaves. IMO best insigna in the world.
Then you have the 3 famous words written on top. Dios, Patria y Libertad.
This means God, Country and Freedom. |

The problem with the St George is that it's developing a close association with football hooliganism and the BNP. To be honest I wouldn't have it anywhere near anything I owned, which is sad really.
This one has a pleasant sentiment: Kiribati
If only England's flag had such peaceful connotations.  |

Yeah, that one does look like it should be on a Strawberry Alarm Clock album cover or something. |

I'm biased, but I LOVE the Stars and Stripes of the US flag.
Also, I very much like the flag of my ancestors: Malta
