EU may get new 'bar-code' flag
According to this Ananova story, the EU may get new 'bar-code' logo designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. The design incorporates all the colors of all member states. Oh, say 45 colors or so. The resulting design looks a lot like a rainbow barcode.
Grasshoppa critiques the design on a number of issues, including the cost of reproduce such a flag with its dozens of colors. However, I am not so sure of that... I'm pretty sure IKEA has a sheet and comforter set with the same pattern, and we all know how they like to keep costs down.
I just want to know how they decided which bars are what width. Is it based on population? Geopolitical power? And what will they do when additional states joing the EU.
