Dutch Flag Redesign

DUTCH FLAG REDESIGN

The flag of the Netherlands is a boring flag. The Netherlands itself is a very stunning nation and the flag has potential to be better. The Dutch have many symbols so lets change that.

SYMBOLS
Lion: A dutch symbol used in many things in Dutch culture.
WHY?
The Dutch Flag is a tricolour which is common in many European nations as the default, standard design and the Dutch Flag falls in that category. The repetitive three coloured bands. However, the Dutch flag is not an excellent choice because it is basically the French Flag tilted sideways. This is a classic funny meme here that proves this example. 
I decided to make the flag unique by adding a symbol in the centre, marking something that is culturally symbolic to the Netherlands. A lion which colour matches great with the unique but historic Orange.

This was the hardest flag yet! By making this flag, I couldn't just go ahead and select a preset image of a lion from the tool that Flagmaker Jr. (the flag creator website I use) provides, I had to get a design image of a lion and change the colour and since it was slightly pixelled, I had to sharpen the image.
