Flags of the Future

               Hi, I am Khushbu Sanghi, for my 100 DAYS PROJECT, I have decided to revisit the flags of hundred countries,which have been existing since the 18th century or even older. Flags represent our country; it is an identity that instills pride, patriotism and values. It speaks to people and tells them a story giving them a sense of belonging and identity. With my passion for design and appreciation for culture, I have taken my resources and identifiers that resonate with how flags would look in today’s time and culture to give people a new sense of pride.

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST #Day100 FLAG OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Present Situation: The United States has one of the world’s richest and most diversified economies. While the country's economic freedom ranking has dropped there are signs of renewed labor market dynamism and increased growth, and major regulatory and tax reforms are spurring business confidence and investment. The continuing decline in the score for government integrity reflects a growing perception of cronyism, elite privilege, and corruption. Future Flag: The future flag of America is divided into two halves. On one side the flag retains the stripes representing the original 13 Colonies, while the other half represents the strong democracy of the country through its pillar of hope and strength. The bald eagle is national bird of the country conveying power and the spirit of its people taking the country forward. It is symbolic of the importance of honesty and truthful principles while the star signifies protection and connection. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #America #USA #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day99 FLAG OF CUBA Present Situation: Cuba is one of the world’s last Communist dictatorships, and state control of the economy is pervasive and economically inefficient. Although the nearly bankrupt government has eased rules on private employment in an effort to reshape the economy and improve efficiency, development of a job-creating private sector is unlikely. Much of the labor force performs low-productivity functions in the bloated government sector. All courts are subject to political interference, and private property is strictly regulated. Excessive bureaucracy and lack of regulatory transparency continue to limit trade and investment. Workers do not earn living wages, the agriculture sector is starved for investment, and the banking system is primitive. Future Flag: The future flag of Cuba represents the country’s growth and economic reforms through agriculture. The three pointed leaves indicate transparency, efficiency and prosperity forming together a sustainable system of the country. The stem in the center also represents the famous Cuban cigar. The two blue strips indicate equality amongst the people while the red indicates increased trade. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Cuba #BrightFuture #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day97 FLAG OF CAYMAN ISLAND Present Situation: The Cayman Islands have for many years enjoyed a thriving economy with literally zero unemployment. The main industries are financial services, tourism, and real estate. The tourism industry continues to boom with a continual increase in cruise ship passenger and air arrivals. The financial industry continues to boom with new businesses constantly arriving and established businesses expanding. There is no direct taxation; however, government raises its revenue from fees and duties. Future Flag: The future flag of Cayman Island represents a scallop shell in the center indicating the universal centre of all life forms, the spirit, and the soul. Within it is a representation of the pristine waters, which the island is famous for from which is a bright risen sun for cheeriness and positivity. On one side of the sun is a dolphin that represents growth and warmth towards the countries visitors while the parrot on the right side represents the country’s national bird along with future foreign businesses. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Caymanisland #BrightFuture #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day96 FLAG OF BERMUDA Present Situation: International business, which consists primarily of reinsurance and other financial services, is the real bedrock of Bermuda's economy apart from tourism. Bermuda economy still enjoys one of the highest per capita earning in the world. The Government has signed up to the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women in Bermuda. Bermuda's exports have been quite limited and have been shrinking over the years. Future Flag: The future flag of Bermuda represents a seashell with the waves below indicating the serene blue waters that surround the country. It also shows rise in the country’s economy through tourism, gender equality along with better health and educational systems. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Bermuda #BrightFuture #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day95 FLAG OF BRUNEI Present Situation: Brunei’s ongoing economic struggle to emerge from a long recession has been exacerbated by low oil and gas prices. The government hopes that a well-educated, largely English-speaking population, excellent infrastructure, and political stability will attract foreign investment to diversify the economy to other industries, such as information technology and halal manufacturing, that are permissible under Islamic law. The country benefits from moderately well maintained monetary stability (the Brunei dollar is pegged to the Singapore dollar at parity) and a relatively high degree of market openness. Future Flag: The future flag of Brunei represents the white-bellied sea eagle that is the national animal of Brunei. It is known to soar to great heights with its wings held stiff in a V-shape. The head of the eagle indicates a mosque and the wings a Quran- the Islamic holy book. The tail indicates an oil drop, helping the economy flourish. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Brunei #BrightFuture #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day94 FLAG OF BAHRAIN Present Situation: The economy is dominated by state-owned enterprises, although the government has a stated goal of increasing private-sector growth. Due to slumping global oil prices, the government remains focused on reining in public spending by reducing subsidies for fuels, food items, water, and electricity. Trade is extremely important to Bahrain’s economy. Both Sunni and Shia women face discrimination in the right to divorce and other matters. Future Flag: The future flag of Bahrain represents a white circle with a negative space of an oil drop, which is the key business to Bahrain’s economic growth. The cutting lines also represent trade and growth for a stronger future, apart from indicating equality between the Shia and Sunni Muslims. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Bahrain #BrightFuture #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day92 FLAG OF ALGERIA Present Situation: Algeria's economy remains dominated by the state, a legacy of the country's socialist post-independence development model. Currently, unemployment is one of the biggest factors leading to setbacks in improving the poverty rate in Algeria. Combined with low oil prices and deteriorating living standards, tackling inequality has become increasingly difficult in Algeria. Future Flag: The future flag of Algeria represents the finest natural resources the country is famous for– petroleum, natural gas, iron ore, phosphates, uranium, lead and zinc. The divided green and red represents gender equality and the center square is the increase in employment and education. The star in the center indicates their religion along with unblocking of the political system, diversifying the economy, and ramping up diplomatic efforts. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Algeria #BrightFuture #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day91 FLAG OF NIGERIA Present Situation: Falling oil production and inadequate policies took a major toll on Nigeria's economy. Nigeria leads the world in uneducated children effecting employments rates and creating poverty. Violence between nomadic and farming communities is spreading killing 100's of people. The underfunded judiciary has some independence but is hobbled by political interference and rampant corruption. Economic growth has been driven by agriculture, telecommunications, and services, but diversification has yet to help the people living in extreme poverty. Future Flag: The future flag of Nigeria represents the recent rise in oil prices supporting the economic recovery, to reduce unemployment and address poverty. It two leafs against the green represent agricultural growth as well as an open book to indicate improvement in education and freedom of business in Nigeria. The white strips on the sides indicate equality, strength and peace. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Nigeria #BrightFuture #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day90 FLAG OF SPAIN Present Situation: The severe 2017 constitutional crisis triggered by Catalonia’s push for separation will test the strength of Spain’s post–financial crisis economy, the rebound of which was facilitated by structural reforms highlighted by a reduction of the inefficient and oversized government sector, labor market reforms, and restoration of the financial sector’s competitiveness. Resolution of the crisis could threaten fiscal stability. Despite relatively sound economic institutions and transparent regulatory and judicial systems, the indebted public sector is still a drag on growth. Future Flag: The future flag of Spain represents the country’s national bird- Spanish Imperial Eagle, conveying power, freedom, and courage. The star represents authority and excellence. Together the symbol indicates the rise of Spain’s economy and a booming industry, overall improving the health and wealth of the Spanish citizens. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Spain #Spanish #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day89 FLAG OF PARAGUAY Present Situation: The agriculture, retail, and construction sectors continue to be driving forces for economic growth. But the government of Paraguay plans to attract investment by improving infrastructure, reforming the inefficient public sector, and increasing private participation in state-run enterprises. Paraguay is one of the world’s largest producers of hydroelectricity. Corruption remains widespread in all branches and at all levels of government. Nevertheless, progress has been made on the social front, with a series of reforms in this area, including free access to primary health care and basic education and the expansion of conditional transfer programs to benefit vulnerable populations. Future Flag: The future flag of Paraguay represents the country as one of the world’s largest producers of hydroelectricity generated by one of the world’s largest dams, the Itaipú, jointly owned and operated by the Paraguayan and Brazilian governments.

#Day88 FLAG OF PERU Present Situation: The Peruvian economy is at a crossroads. Over the last two decades it has been one of the fastest-growing economies in the region, enjoying macroeconomic stability, a strong mining sector, an open economy, and growing agro-industry and services sectors. Growth-enhancing structural reforms, including lowering the costs of hiring and firing workers, increasing investment in non-extractive industries and achieving poverty reduction should now become a higher priority.

#Day87 FLAG OF HAITI Present Situation: Political instability has hindered the Haitian government’s ability to meet the basic needs of its people, resolve long-standing human rights problems, or address continuing humanitarian crises. Illiteracy and gender-based violence is a major problem in Haiti. Haiti does not have specific legislation against domestic violence, sexual harassment, or other forms of violence targeted at women. However, the country has fortunately entered a new period of stability, providing an important window of opportunity for the government and other state institutions to be able to bring forward a programme of reform so needed to allow Haiti to join the path of sustainable development.

The flag also symbolizes freedom of business without the government interferences. The three trips in red and yellow indicate equal rights for women and other communities.

#Day86 FLAG OF ANGOLA Present Situation: Angola’s economy needs to be fundamentally restructured to reduce dependence on oil. Monopolies and quasi-monopolies dominate the leading sectors. Pervasive corruption and institutional weaknesses continue to undermine other important reforms. Trade barriers and burdensome investment regulations hamper development of a more dynamic private sector and interfere with diversification of the economic base. Trade is significant for Angola’s economy. Future Flag: The future flag of Angola represents oil drop on which the economy of the country depends on. The growing agriculture is also reflected within the symbol of oil, which adds towards the economic improvement. The leaves are also a representation of increase in literacy and overcoming poverty by generating skilled labor.

#Day84 FLAG OF VENEZUELA Present Situation: Venezuela’s economy has been stifled for years by blatant disregard for the rule of law and principles of limited government. Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, and oil accounts for almost all exports and half of state revenues. The judiciary is highly politicized, and the rule of law as traditionally understood has ceased to exist. Corruption is pervasive amid spiraling rates of violent crime. The ongoing economic crisis and an opaque and heavily, although arbitrarily, regulated business environment make Venezuela an unfriendly place to run an enterprise. Future Flag: The future flag of Venezuela represents the oil reserves in blue. The circle symbolizes a safer community with regulated governmental laws to bring people together and work towards a better country. The white represents honesty and peace. The pointed triangle is an indication of the growing natural resources in Venezuela along with higher trade for a flourishing economy. The star symbolizes the catholic belief most Venezuelans follow. The yellow highlights a bright new era of success and happiness for the Venezuelans. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Venezuela #Venezuelans #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18

#Day83 FLAG OF GREENLAND Present Situation: Greenland's economy consists of a big public sector and comprehensive foreign trade, which has resulted in an economy with periods of strong growth, considerable inflation, unemployment problems and extreme dependence on capital inflow from Denmark and use of outside, mainly Danish, skilled labor. The second-largest sector by employment is Greenland's fishing industry and is one of the main factors of the country's growth. Future Flag: The future flag of Greenland represents the welfare and prosperity of the country. The symbol on the flag represents a fish, which is one of the biggest sources of revenue in Greenland, and the red box symbolize the country to be the world’s next great mining frontier as global warming starts to uncover precious metals from the frozen surroundings. The fish tail also indicates diversification in trade patterns. --- #Flagsofthefuture #100daysproject #the100daysproject #Greenland #Goodlife #Countryflags #Mycountry #CreativeNews #Flagofhonor #Proudtimes #CreativeFlow #Betterdays #Worldnews #SVAbranding #followme #SVA #NewsWorthy #CNN #News #Creativity #Imagination #Countryrights #Hopeforever #100daysproject2018 #Flagoftheday #flagstory #Bestoftheday #MPSbranding18 #MPSB18
