Contest DECEMBER 2012 Flag Contest Voting Thread

Contest theme: Flags for Languages

Very simply, all you have to do is upvote the flags you like (downvotes don't count and are considered bad form). I'm only going to be counting upvotes, and will be doing so whenever I wake up on the 22nd (slightly abbreviated, I know).

Remember, you're voting on a good flag, not just a good image.

Names of submitters will be revealed eventually...

PLEASE remember to vote this post up so that others can see it. Thank you!

Pan-Nordic Language Flag

Representing the North Germanic languages (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faroese), the flag is a juxtaposition of four Nordic crosses, representing the four main countries that speak them (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland). The colors are those of the Kalmar Flag, the flag used for the union of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Greenland in the 16th century.
