Hello everyone,

This community is only a few hours old, and already there is a meta post ha ha.

I was just thinking that the EU flag doesn’t include non-EU countries such as Switzerland, the UK, Norway, Ukraine, Iceland, Albania, Georgia, etc.

Maybe a more “map-based” logo like this one could be considered too?

While it may not nominally include them, the flags stars represent the coming together of countries. Stars ate no longer added to represent individual countries as theynjoin, so i thinknit still fits.

Using the map works but as a circular icon it will also exclude countries or be too small, so it doesn’t fix the problem presented.

Its not ideal as a logo but unless a better option presents, I’d keep itnover a map. Unfortunately, this specific map is not loading for me. Possibly an update issue.

It now loads for me. Ireland and northern irelands borders are incorrect. I too blame Brexit, lol.

But as suspected, of this was used, Iceland would be cut off as would Portugal and lots of others depending on selected Centre.

Keep it as it is, I say.

No. The EU flag is the flag of Europe too and actually predates the EU. It was merely adapted for it too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Europe

I think the flag is fine personally. It’s very clear what the community is about.

I suggest my drawing of Europe by memory. Your favourite country might not even be in there but it’s simple so you can see it as a small icon! I see no downsides.
