No town or city in my area has a flag. The nearest capital city, Sydney, has this monstrosity:

IT'S A FLAG WITH SIX OTHER FLAGS ON IT
HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO MEMORISE THAT
WHY IS IT SO COMPLICATED
THERE ARE FIVE DAMN COLOURS ON IT
WHERE'S THE UNION JACK
Shit my State's flag is awful.
Nothing builds spirit up like an extinct animal and fucking Texas on your flag.
Step aside everyone, worst city flag in the union coming in.

[QUOTE]It displays symbols of Milwaukee on a medium blue background. In the center, a gear, representing industry, bears symbols of Milwaukee's identity and history. An Indian head, resembling the Milwaukee Braves logo at the time,[SUP][1][/SUP] represents Native American origins. A flag with two stars, said to be a Civil War-era flag,[SUP][[I]citation needed[/I]][/SUP], may also represent a service flag.[SUP][2][/SUP] A lamp symbol in the upper right was once associated with the Milwaukee City Library.[SUP][1][/SUP] Below this is Milwaukee City Hall, representing government, which is flanked by a church, a factory, and the County Stadium. The golden barley stalk on the left represents Milwaukee's brewing history, and the red ship with water symbolizes Milwaukee's status as a port city.[/QUOTE]

Arizona doesn't fuck around when it comes to flags.
California's flag is the only flag that works with words tbh, its kinda symbolic and i see it everywhere, probably because it blends nicely in with the flag

Those are pretty nice but not as cool as our flag, the flag of Skåne:

There is also the official flag of Skåne based on our weapon shield:

No official flag, but my county (Oxfordshire) has a pretty nice proposal.

Honestly if the Jacksonville flag didn't have the text on it it'd be a pretty decent flag.

My city flag, I don't mind it.
This thread is proof of why most people don't understand proper flag design/have poor taste. Everyone is posting their flags which have text, seals, are complicated or have more than three colours, and saying that they like them. Ironically, they are doing this in a thread which explicitly makes a case against poor flag design.
