Personally i think our flag is very beautiful.

"It is none other than the Vučedol culture that in terms of diverse
and richly decorated checkerboard motifs stands above all other
cultures", wrote Schmidt in 1945. In the research presented in the
article: "The origin of the Pythagorean proposition in the Vučedol
culture in Croatia" (Jurić et al., 2000) it has been determined that
the Vučedol culture, lasting from cca 3000 to 2200 BC, was
aware of the system of numbers 3, 4 and 5 and thus perceived
the method of drawing geometric presentations whose lengths of
sides related to one another as whole numbers, presenting the
basis of what was later defined as the Pythagorean proposition.
In this work the authors have explored the relations among the
presentations of different combinations of squares and quadrangles,
called "checkerboards" with systems of numbers 3, 4, 5
as well as 5, 12, 13, and 7, 24 and 25. It has been presupposed
that the Vučedol culture checkerboards were used for presentations
of various mathematical calculations. Out of the numerous
differing presentations of checkerboards, the checkerboard
with 72 fields numerically containing 12 triangles of the 3,
4, 5 system was specially analysed. Also, a hypothesis was put
forward stating that such a checkerboard could have been used
in time calculations, thus revealing that members of the Vučedol
culture were acquainted with a calendar, according to which the
new year started after the winter solstice.

I like it.. what does it symbolize?

[Damião de Góis]

The flag is normal and like some other tricolor ones so i'll comment on the shield. From an aesthetic point of view i don't like it that much because i think the contrast doesn't look good (i'm also not a fan of the similar racing flag):



I find my own flag ugly, so don't take my words in the wrong way.

Personally, I do not really like this flag. There are too many flags with the pan-slavic colors (blue, white and red) but I really like the red checkerboard. I think the red checkerboard symbol is more powerful than the pan-Slavic for Croatia.

[Methmatician]

I like it.

[dralos]

i hate those colours but i like the symbole in the middle

[Insuperable]

I do not like it. The simpler flag, the better it is. The central part (the symbol in the middle of it) has to be replaced only with the checkerboard without anything else like crown.

[Mraz]

Would be better without the "crown" IMO.

[Lena]

It's not about the coat of arms, nor 'crown' as some say, but the light blue colour which clashes with other ones, and brings disbalance.

[Archduke]

The checkerboard symbol is very impressive.

I like it.
