Episode 25 - Why Vexillology Matters with Kai McAlister

Frequent guest contributor Kai McAlister returns to go in-depth on one of his and Evan’s most cherished, ultra-nerdy topics: vexillology; or, the study of flags. We talk about why we are so fascinated by this topic, why it matters, and wax eloquent on what makes a good flag design, as well as listing several examples of both good and poor flag design.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The “Good Flag, Bad Flag” paper explaining the five main “rules” of good flag design https://nava.org/good-flag-bad-flag J.J.
