You often see these flags or banners hanging outside houses that have some seasonal or holiday theme, like they have a jack-o'-lantern flag for Halloween. Recently I walked past a house that had a flag celebrating summer. It had a colourful design with sunlight and flowers, and prominently featuring a ladybug. Somehow, I thought it would be funny if someone made one of these flags to look like a national flag. Like the summer flag could feature a simpler, more stylized lady bug, like this:
So I was going to do a big production where I would come up with national flag-style designs for each of the seasons. But I only got as far as fall, and was thinking what would be on that flag. A leaf turning colour - say, red - would be appropriate. Of course, you could just use the Canadian flag for that. So here's my proposals for flags you can use to celebrate the seasons, using actual national flags:
Fall: Canada
Winter: Israel
Several countries have wintry colours, but Israel has the bonus that lots of people will mistake the Star of David for a snowflake.
The island nation in the Indian Ocean is full of Easter Egg colours.
The sweltering sun in a cloudless sky is a great sign of summer. And Palau's 18,000 people could use the income.
