I love flags and flag design. I also like to design flags for places that don't exist, and redesign flags to suit my personal tastes. While proud of my Basque heritage (I'm very mixed and that's one part of my background) I'm not in love with the design of the Basque Flag or Ikurriña - purely a design statement, not political. The colors are perfect - look at any photos of the Basque Country - white houses, red roofs and green landscape, but the design (based on the Union Jack) does not thrill me. I took those colors and the prehistoric Basque sun symbol - the lauburu - and came up with a suggestion for a new design.
