The Meaning Behind 33 World Flags [Infographic]


The Big Bang Theory is a bad show and you should feel bad for liking it. But having a fascination for world flags and their symbolic meaning? That’s okay in our books.

Have you ever watched an Olympic Games’ opening ceremony and wondered what all those flags’ shapes and colours mean? Why does the Libyan flag have a crescent moon on it?
