Talk:United Nations Honour Flag

Incomplete reference
My university library's copy of the World Flag Encyclopedia: All World and Regional Flags Featuring Honor Flag Development 1942-1947 has pages missing, so I had to piece together what info I could from the pages that are there. It seems that Brooks Harding published the book to try to keep the flag in use, but the decline only accelerated, and nowadays at the U.N. the flag is "memetically discouraged" (as the library computers in David Brin's Uplift universe would say)...

I don't really care whether this article is elevated to "good" status or not, but it most definitely DOES link to Four Freedoms: "who was inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech of January 1941)"... -- AnonMoos (talk) 11:18, 23 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Also, it definitely does mention the later United Nations flag: "However, it was never an official flag of the United Nations as an organization (which was founded in 1945, and adopted a different flag of the United Nations in 1946)". This "review" seems to be of rather poor quality! AnonMoos (talk) 11:22, 23 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The main Four Freedoms artwork was Norman Rockwell's famous series of illustrations, but they didn't appear until the United Nations Honour Flag had already been designed, and I don't know what relationship there could be be between the flag and the illustrations, other than both being inspired by Roosevelt's speech...
