Good Flags * Bad Flags

At Titus Flags, we’re passionate about promoting exceptional flag design.

One invaluable resource for both novice and experienced vexillologists is the PDF guide “Good Flags, Bad Flags,” compiled by Ted Kaye for the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA).

This concise, user-friendly guide outlines the five key principles of good flag design:

  1. Simplicity
  2. Meaningful Symbolism
  3. Limited Use of Colors
  4. No Lettering or Seals
  5. Distinctiveness

By following these guidelines, flag designers can create visually striking and culturally significant flags that stand the test of time.
