That's one of the most god-awful monstrosities I've ever had the displeasure of laying eyes upon in my life.
Or even better, they should combine the current and proposed flags, and use that exact image you have there.

I thought the EU flag was the left part of that. Just the blue background with the 12 yellow stars (soon to be 19 IIRC)

I think your confusing the Japanese flag with the Japanese anthem which is absolutely repulsive. The flag is ok. The worst flag IMO is Libya. Just....green.......

I've always liked the Japanese flag. At least it has something unlike Libya.

If they implement that new EU flag I'm going to burn brussels to the ground. It is absolutely disgusting! The parliament has better things to do than discuss such innane things!

Unfortunately, the Nazi flag followed closely by the Japanese flag.
Ugh!

I thought they decided not to add new stars for new nations.

That's right. We're 15 states now and still only 12 stars.
Instead of extra stars, they added a symbol to represent all states after the 12th

Best looking flags:
Lithuanian flag proposed in 1939 (with green Vytis cross in the middle and colors yellow and red on borders)
Confederate States of America flag (that one with blue cross with stars on red background)
Kazakhstani flag
Japanese war flag (with black dashes near the read "sun")
Former Afghanistani flag (green, white, black with that symbol on the middle)
Brazilian flag
And, of course, current Lithuanian flag

Sri Lanka's flag is pretty cool. The welsh is nice too. I like the Libyan flag for it's unbeatable simplicity.
The flag of Macedonia ...err, ah, ah ...FYROM, ...Markos put away the sword... looks good too.

The Japanese rising Sun one is cool: the Polish and Indonesian flags are both OK, as is the French Tricolor.
I dislike overly complex flags, or flags with difficult designs. Oh, and the old flag of the DRC, the Zaire flag, had a hand holding an AK-47 right in the middle of it: that and really ugly colors.
