Lithuania congratulates Myanmar on upgrading their flag and encourages others to do the same, Lithuanian digital agency Gaumnia.lt came up with such an idea, after Myanmar on 21 October announced to the world that it is changing its national flag.
The idea to „Lithuanize“ world flags came after the huge online buzz on new Myanmar‘s national flag looking so similar to our national flag. „So similar“, ,twin flag“, ,exactly the same“, ,amazingly similar“ – the comments on the similarity were avalanching from the news portals to the murky parts of the internet, the agency said to the Lithuania Tribune.
„As Myanmar‘s new flag looks so similar to our national flag, we concluded that our flag is very good. Actually, for us, Lithuanians, it is the best in the world. So we are pleased to see that it evident, and not only to us alone!
As changing a national flag into a better one is a long and complicated administrative process (it took around 4 years to Myanmar to upgrade their flag), we were scared that the other states can loose loads of precious time going through the numerous design proposals and long decision making processes. So we simply made the proposals for the other states to upgrade their flag designs faster. The vector files can be given for free. Lithuanians are a very creative nation and can always help if the creativity is needed.”,- Darius Bagdziunas, the director of digital agency Gaumina.lt told jokingly to the Lithuania Tribune.
Who knows, perhaps the Lithuanian flag one day might become one of the most successful Lithuania’s export, after basketball.
