Holy frick, who designed this? Who approved it? That's a symbol for a company that sells washing machines, not one of the greatest militaries in Europe.
>washing machines
Most washing machine brands have better design than that.
That logo's more like one you'd find on a store-brand electronic device's mysterious power brick.
France got so obsessed with being modern and update that they kinda throw the baby out with the bathwater sometimes.
A lot of institutions in Europe suffer from this meme. Many universities will use corporate style nu-logos instead of simply sticking to their Medieval crests. Even Oxford changed their Printing Press publishing logo to some bullshit MS Office Tier abomination
Austria is the best one by far dumb Black person. It‘s actually based, unique, memorable and simple and even uses their national colours. All the others are lazy corporate shit or straight up fudd coats of arms.
If your country's military symbol isn't concise, catchy and can be drawn from memory, it's a shit symbol and totally worthless. Also crowns on modern military insignias just look extremely cringe and forced unless it's maybe Bongland.

Nothing he said was wrong. What's your point exactly?
you illiterate turbo Black person
the austrian symbol has maybe more history condensed than any other into it:
red white red resembles Duke Leopold of Babenbergs crusader dress. he was busy besieging Jerusalem with King Richard when he got the info that the archons elected him emperor of the holy roman empire.
since he couldnt fly his family crest for the job, he needed a new one. to show everyone that he means business, he chose his crusaders dress, which he just took off his armor after a busy day of cutting down muslims at the walls of jerusalem. The dress was covered in blood exept where his sword belt was, there a white stripe remained.
et voilà, austrias crest was born, red white red stripes.
make the red a roundell and the white a spiky triangle to stay minimalistic but easy to recognise.

It's actually a pretty badass origin story. My respect for our western sógors just grew a bit.
>unique, memorable and simple and even uses their national colours
those are criteria befitting an air force roundel, the symbol for a nation's land forces should have more gravitas than that
>washing machines

At least its not Austria.
That looks like a symbol in your ca or washing machine about oil change or, roadworks, or something.
I would objectively call this the worst design, even over Austria (which is so minimal, it would be sort of like a cool non-descript armband symbol), France/Germany or even that orange belgium thing.
It literally makes me think of insurance companies or something.
I like Finnish, Spanish and Ukrainian, they are both simple and traditional at the same time.
I don't like Portugal, France, they look corporate.
Swiss is avangard in how little they tried.
British need to get rid of the "army" and beef up the swords

It says ARMY because its just the Army's logo.
Picrel is the logo of the Armed Forces. Sorry for bad quality pic better available on Google.
Oh, I'd rather post the emblem of, y'know, latvian national armed forces...
This. What's with the weird palette though.
Also OP is a gay for starting thread with such a shit map. If micro-states are excluded should not have included them and put correct, proper size logos for others. Anyway, any logo you can't spray paint on a tank with 1..2 colors is fake and gay peace-time vanity project armies not suitable for real battles.
Swiss symbol is complete dogshit
German symbol is the best but would look much better without the text
Ukrainian and British symbols are tied for top 2
Kosovar symbol looks like a pro CS:GO team logo
Greek and Cypriot symbols look stupid
Portuguese symbol looks like the logo of a start-up
belgium by a long shot
also pretty sure quite a few of these are their respective armies/armed forces 'logos' and not their official emblems
if that makes any sense
Only good ones are Czech, Poland, Spain, Britain, Russia, Moldova and Serbia. Ukraine would be good with a better colorway and Germany should just use a black iron cross, not this faded grey shit and blue text
Belgium is the worst: NATO, and even worse, EU insignia has no place on national insignia.
Switzerland with its wall of text is next worst - just use the shield part
Font choice on Portugal's is horrific but otherwise better than France, Germany and Netherlands so far as attempts at modern branding goes
I for one really like Ukraine’s. >actual cross and not that garbage nu german shit >swords >ancient logo thing in the middle
Poland, Scandinavia, and Spain are nice too. Austria isn’t bad either, by far the best “modern” logo from how low the bar is, but that would fit more for an army brigade or something.
Belgium is barely even an actual nation itself, so its rather fitting. Its literally been a glorified conglomerate throughout its entire existence.

Everyone else has swords. Italy has swords & cannons.
Every one featuring a gradient or 3D effects is awful, the worst being probably Croatia or Turkey, but there are others that don't meet that criteria and are still terrible like Belgium or Bosnia. Most of them are pretty bad.

1. Austria - though it could be improved by adding the national symbol in the middle
2. Germany (minus Heer and preferably a different colour scheme/a black Iron Cross with white accents would look a lot better)

Technically, the Szent István flag is our official flag, just not as much as the other one. But yes, it is definitely nicer than the more official one.

Britain, US, France, and Poland actually rely on military experience from the most recent century. Germany slightly less so, but they do have some institutional knowledge from what once was the most powerful military in Europe. Case studies in Ukraine from the last year are going to be pretty important for the next generation of officers, so any military that's supporting the Ukies will likely have respected academies.

>without too much shit on it >Spain looks cool
Huh? It's super busy with all the feathers and the crown
My favorites are Lithuania and Ukraine. Germany wound look great too if they didn't try so hard to look non-threatening.
Switzerland easily. You see the swiss flag shaped like a shield and you know exactly what it stands for, if you showed m any of the other generic lion with swords logos that could be anyone.

It always made me laugh that the Pirates of the Caribbean movies designed a new, ominous flag for the evil East India Company (pic related) even though it was one of the most powerful organizations in history with a well-known flag... presumably because the studio expected American audiences would be very confused if they used the real flag.
Some chucklefrick Wikipedia editor mislabelled the civil ensign used by the Austro-Hungarian merchant navy as "Flag_of_Austria_Hungary" fifteen years ago, and now most of the internet seems to believe a flag that was only ever used by seagoing merchant ships registered in Austria-Hungary was the state flag of Austria-Hungary, because that's what you get when you google "flag of Austria-Hungary".

all the variations of the generic bi-/tricolor roundel, all the variation of the crescent moon & star roundel
Poland, hungary, bosnia, fyrom, estonia, lithuania, belarus, russia, kazakhstan all fail on account of it not being fricking round
that said, they're the more interesting looking ones compared to the fricking targets the rest have
Norway would be good if they actually operated exclusively delta wings.
Ireland looks nice but I don't think they have real aircraft.
MonteBlack seems too miss something.
The day Russia finally ditches the fricking red star and consigns it to the turdpit of history, where it belongs is the day I'll think that maybe there is hope for them ever evolving into a normal, functional, civilized nation.
old flag made serbs seethe so they complained until the fricking UN held a contest to pick a new flag, in the end they just decided to rip off a battery company logo.
I'm a sucker for the Iron Cross, it's simple yet iconic and it looks especially great on aircraft. It's really too bad the krauts have fallen into the habit of trying to downplay it because muh nazi associations. You can immediately tell from the choice of color for the current army version that they tried to make it look more non-threatening.compared to the stark black-and-white contrast of the traditional version. They don't even award it as a medal anymore, it's such a sad waste.
I sorta like the Netherlands one a lot, a simple orange band with a lion rampant on it, which is a good blend of modern simplicity and traditional motifs.
Albania's isn't terrible either, and the baltics and scandis are nice too
basically every polish insignia has eagles with crows because soviets took the crowns so we added them back just to spite them
historically, the king in Poland didn't have much real power since the 17th century or so, so the crown has a long history of being a symbol
Worst easily the Netherlands followed closely by France/Portugal.
Best? Italy(because canon's) and a shared 2nd spot for, russia/uk. Honorable mentions are Romania/Poland and Spain.
>France, Germany, the Netherlands
It's funny how the politicians have turned a symbol of might and tradition into a corporate logo.
You can almost tell which country has a strong sense of nationalism and identity and which is globohomosexual type by their army symbol alone.

Hmmm... >speak French >from the Kingdom of France >insufferably continental
Yep, they definitely French. Go back to PrepHole and jack off to your haplogroup astrology with the other rubes.
The good Henry actually got his son to be crown-prince of France and held the crown for him. One united dual monarchy in the West!
Unfortunately, he had ruined England to defeat the French and the peasants went full riot mode and many of the knights to suppress then were dead in France.
They rioted the frick our of the kingdom and even seized the young prince, now king, and could have deposed him or killed him, but flinched and let him go.
Eventually the rioters lost but only because they ran out of richgays to loot and began to loot the poor city folk who has joined and helped them. These then turned on the rebels and helped the nobility put the revolt down.
Basically, won the war but taxes his people into open warfare to do it, which then destroyed his army and let the French take back the crown and, slowly, more and more territory.
But the whole reason the nobility and English king had claims in France in the first place was because they were of French descent.
I like the German and Slovakian ones best. Simple and distinctive (eagles and lions are overrated).
The idea of the French one, modern and simple but it looking like a sword with an offset blade drives me crazy. >pic related would be better
t.French
best: Germany. though it would be better in the classic black and white. they obviously toned down the contrast to make it less menacing.
Ukraine, Finland are also pretty cool. of those with crowns (usually too convoluted), Norway looks best.
Kosovo is pretty baller tbh. Swiss is a bit simplistic but also a classic.
worst: has to be Austria. looks like a laundry symbol. also bad: France, Belgium, Portugal. Turkey looks gay because they are.
Great Britain is by far the best.
Poland, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Slovakia, Luxembourg and Czechia are ok too.
The rest are pretty ugly.
Then France, Portugal and Belgium are just insanely bad. And Switzerland is just pure autism.

generally considered to be over compensating, france has a small empire and either directly or indirectly controls North Africa. it has an expeditionary force, but it is more correct to call it an extra-territorial military policing force. they are a declining power with some significant problems to over come to maintain their status quo.
honestly, I would recommend they stop trying so hard, they would benefit more long term by giving up on their ambitions.
>Sweden
their policy of armed nutrality has built up a very strong domestic industry and built up a strong standing national army. while no expeditionary force, no one doubts Sweden's ability to defend itself without the aid of NATO or the EU.
I'm going over some reasons of nations I chose not to include:
>Germany
while definitely a leading arms producer, they have a significant logistics and armament problem. this is very deep and inset. it has nothing to do with their capacity but the Obstinance of their procurement branch of government. if they could just engineer a way around that, they could probably compete with the likes of the US.
>Poland
while quite aggressive towards Russia, their military is heavily focused on national defense. they don't field the top of the line equipment, and still have some lingering soviet equipment that is "rack grade" and has been modified heavily. luckily as of recent they have "leased" a lot of it to the Ukraine as it is cheaper and are replacing it with second hand US equipment and NATO equipment.
>Turkey
they have a strong national military, but no expeditionary force. they are rather a wild card but internal struggles keep them from realizing their full strength.
Britain Germany and France
>france
Holy frick, who designed this? Who approved it? That's a symbol for a company that sells washing machines, not one of the greatest militaries in Europe.
>washing machines
Most washing machine brands have better design than that.
That logo's more like one you'd find on a store-brand electronic device's mysterious power brick.
France got so obsessed with being modern and update that they kinda throw the baby out with the bathwater sometimes.
A lot of institutions in Europe suffer from this meme. Many universities will use corporate style nu-logos instead of simply sticking to their Medieval crests. Even Oxford changed their Printing Press publishing logo to some bullshit MS Office Tier abomination
From Bad to Worst:
>Germany
>France
>Portugal
>Switzerland
From Least to Best:
>Croat
>Hungary
>Austria
>Finland
>Poland
The only modern looking insignia that's worth a damn is the Austrian one, the rest look like corporate garbage.
>Austria
Oh come on that's just a traffic sign, not a military insignia
I like it because it looks like the symbol of a dystopian army.
Covection ovens, insurance, and launder money, respectively.
Austria is the best one by far dumb Black person. It‘s actually based, unique, memorable and simple and even uses their national colours. All the others are lazy corporate shit or straight up fudd coats of arms.
>t. keeps his daughter locked up in his cellar

If your country's military symbol isn't concise, catchy and can be drawn from memory, it's a shit symbol and totally worthless. Also crowns on modern military insignias just look extremely cringe and forced unless it's maybe Bongland.
That's what national jacks are for you fricking moron (and why they are simple)

Delusional germcucks shouldn't be allowed to talk with their degenerate upside-down Weimar flag. Prussia is gone and will never come back. The last legitimate German government was lead by an Austrian.
Seethe.
That's a German flag, not a Prussian one you fricking jizz gargling moron
Are you moronic?
Are you?
Obviously its influenced by its history
That doesn't change it from being a GERMAN flag, as in a flag that was used by the nation of Germany, Deutschland
Not fricking Prussia, which didn't exist as a nation when that flag was used
Fricking kys you absolute cum guzzling moron
Imagine being such smoothbrained midwit and this smug about it. Literally rebbit self-fellation but there are no updoots or profiles or karam here.
Nothing he said was wrong. What's your point exactly?
you illiterate turbo Black person
the austrian symbol has maybe more history condensed than any other into it:
red white red resembles Duke Leopold of Babenbergs crusader dress. he was busy besieging Jerusalem with King Richard when he got the info that the archons elected him emperor of the holy roman empire.
since he couldnt fly his family crest for the job, he needed a new one. to show everyone that he means business, he chose his crusaders dress, which he just took off his armor after a busy day of cutting down muslims at the walls of jerusalem. The dress was covered in blood exept where his sword belt was, there a white stripe remained.
et voilà, austrias crest was born, red white red stripes.
make the red a roundell and the white a spiky triangle to stay minimalistic but easy to recognise.
good, but sadly nowadays austria is overflooded with shitskins from middle east, africa and serbs, bosnians, croat, albanian subhumans
like no place elsewhere you can drink tapwater and it doesnt smell like chlorine?
yeah well the Swiss still have a plus and Austria has a minus
on a map you end up looking like the volume control for Europe
Germany and Poland look like digipads.
Kinda fitting, Europe is like the worst multiplayer game of all times
>bloodstained crusader dress
It's actually a pretty badass origin story. My respect for our western sógors just grew a bit.
>unique, memorable and simple and even uses their national colours
those are criteria befitting an air force roundel, the symbol for a nation's land forces should have more gravitas than that
To be fair Russia uses the Red Star as does Belarus sometimes. Russia also has the ZOV marks for the Ukrainian theatre.
Poland uses a black triangle on an orange circle.
moron detected.
>That's a symbol for a company that sells washing machines, not one of the greatest militaries in Europe.
Your point being?
inverted cross... that would be masons, they run that cesspool
An inverted cross is christian symbolism also known as the cross of St. Peter
fricking educate yourself
I like Armee de terre because it looks like it reminds me of something scifi.
France is the worst
At least its not Austria.
That looks like a symbol in your ca or washing machine about oil change or, roadworks, or something.
That's Switzerland moron
>Best
Spain or Germany
>Worst
Belgium is so fricking garbage its unreal.
A lot of those symbols look like they could be car brands.
Cute.
>don't speak to me or my wife's son ever again
Cyprus, Macedonia and Constantinople are all rightful Hellenic land.
Scandinavians all look solid and timeless.
Spanish and British look great too.
Portugal, France, and Belgium are complete puke worth frickups
I would objectively call this the worst design, even over Austria (which is so minimal, it would be sort of like a cool non-descript armband symbol), France/Germany or even that orange belgium thing.
It literally makes me think of insurance companies or something.
>orange belgium thing
?
He means Netherlands.
Looks like some railway operator.
That's not the symbol of the Hungarian Armed Forces, that's the country's coat-of-arms. Picrel is the symbol.
>France and Germany
Look like Corporate Logos
>Switzerland
A nice shield and wordswordswords
>Hungary, Denmark
Classic
Germany looks like some cheap ass 4.5% piss lager beer.
I like Finnish, Spanish and Ukrainian, they are both simple and traditional at the same time.
I don't like Portugal, France, they look corporate.
Swiss is avangard in how little they tried.
British need to get rid of the "army" and beef up the swords
Wrong for UK.
It says ARMY because its just the Army's logo.
Picrel is the logo of the Armed Forces. Sorry for bad quality pic better available on Google.
Its all army logos in the OP
thats fricking vile

Wow you managed to find a worse one.
The Swiss logo looks like the one on Swiss Army Knives.
The real question
What do the corporations Heer, Armee De Terre, and Exercito make?
Washing machines
Generic IT consultancy
Trains
Agree on Germany and France but I feel Portugal would make a fine tail logo for an airline.
Not the best but I find the smol castle comfy.
Portugal, France, and Belgium are soulless, Turkey also looks shit, the font on the iron cross is also shit. The rest are okay.
This one makes me think of getting a haircut.
That not only is outdated but the emblem of a Staff battalion
This is the new one of Latvian Mechanized Brigade, as they don't have a "Land Forces",
hmm why m1917?
Not sure if there is a meaning.
Enfields were the Interwar service rifle of the army apparently, I always assumed they had used Mausers or Mosins.
yeah, I just thought mosin was way more common there than any other ww1 rifle at the time
Something to do independence war during interwar period
That is the meaning - it was the standard service rifle of the time
By meaning I meant I am not sure if maybe it symbolizes weapons used in the Independence war
>emblem of a Staff battalion
>literally an emblem with a staff on it
Oh, I'd rather post the emblem of, y'know, latvian national armed forces...
This. What's with the weird palette though.
Also OP is a gay for starting thread with such a shit map. If micro-states are excluded should not have included them and put correct, proper size logos for others. Anyway, any logo you can't spray paint on a tank with 1..2 colors is fake and gay peace-time vanity project armies not suitable for real battles.
Swiss symbol is complete dogshit
German symbol is the best but would look much better without the text
Ukrainian and British symbols are tied for top 2
Kosovar symbol looks like a pro CS:GO team logo
Greek and Cypriot symbols look stupid
Portuguese symbol looks like the logo of a start-up
belgium by a long shot
also pretty sure quite a few of these are their respective armies/armed forces 'logos' and not their official emblems
if that makes any sense
Only good ones are Czech, Poland, Spain, Britain, Russia, Moldova and Serbia. Ukraine would be good with a better colorway and Germany should just use a black iron cross, not this faded grey shit and blue text
Belgium is the worst: NATO, and even worse, EU insignia has no place on national insignia.
Switzerland with its wall of text is next worst - just use the shield part
Font choice on Portugal's is horrific but otherwise better than France, Germany and Netherlands so far as attempts at modern branding goes
I for one really like Ukraine’s.
>actual cross and not that garbage nu german shit
>swords
>ancient logo thing in the middle
Poland, Scandinavia, and Spain are nice too. Austria isn’t bad either, by far the best “modern” logo from how low the bar is, but that would fit more for an army brigade or something.
Belgium is barely even an actual nation itself, so its rather fitting. Its literally been a glorified conglomerate throughout its entire existence.
I like the legionairre motif.
Spain is cool, they still use a bunch of Imperial banners/flags from the old times
>Worst
Portugal, France, Turkey, Italy, Belgium
>Best
Spain, Poland, Austria, Greece, Cyprus, Ukraine, Finland
Funfact, the symbol for the german armed forces, navy, army and airforce are all the same iron cross + the type of branch written in some fat letters
Here´s the airforce´s
They just made the iron cross watermark friendly
Everyone else has swords. Italy has swords & cannons.
Thus it wins by virtue of long range DPS.
Every one featuring a gradient or 3D effects is awful, the worst being probably Croatia or Turkey, but there are others that don't meet that criteria and are still terrible like Belgium or Bosnia. Most of them are pretty bad.
The best is Finland by a long shot.
>best
Germany, the Balkenkreuz is high-impact and striking. 2nd best is the British, old-fashioned and elegant but not overdone like a lot of the eastern euros.

France, got the low quality typical of 1980s computer aided design, looks like it was ripped from an unremarkable arcade game

3. Hungary/Sweden but without the crowns
Ireland's one is the only one that doesn't look like a bastardised heraldic crest or an insurance company.

Britain, US, France, and Poland actually rely on military experience from the most recent century. Germany slightly less so, but they do have some institutional knowledge from what once was the most powerful military in Europe. Case studies in Ukraine from the last year are going to be pretty important for the next generation of officers, so any military that's supporting the Ukies will likely have respected academies.

It always made me laugh that the Pirates of the Caribbean movies designed a new, ominous flag for the evil East India Company (pic related) even though it was one of the most powerful organizations in history with a well-known flag... presumably because the studio expected American audiences would be very confused if they used the real flag.
(The real flag).
Probably mistake it for the Hawaiian flag.
Apparently they had coins that looked similar
Some chucklefrick Wikipedia editor mislabelled the civil ensign used by the Austro-Hungarian merchant navy as "Flag_of_Austria_Hungary" fifteen years ago, and now most of the internet seems to believe a flag that was only ever used by seagoing merchant ships registered in Austria-Hungary was the state flag of Austria-Hungary, because that's what you get when you google "flag of Austria-Hungary".
so whats the real flag
Black and yellow.
That's the Austrian flag. Translithania used the Hungarian flag.
It's the Habsburg flag, used for the whole empire when needed, e.g. on embassies in foreign countries.
This was used in state and civil settings.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Habsburg_monarchy
the dutch east india company also had an ominous tri-letter merchants mark in the middle so there is some basis for it.

I'm a sucker for the Iron Cross, it's simple yet iconic and it looks especially great on aircraft. It's really too bad the krauts have fallen into the habit of trying to downplay it because muh nazi associations. You can immediately tell from the choice of color for the current army version that they tried to make it look more non-threatening.compared to the stark black-and-white contrast of the traditional version. They don't even award it as a medal anymore, it's such a sad waste.

I like that Ukraine looks like a Nazi war-merit cross medal
That's a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossack_cross
Portugal looks like a gas stop logo.
Poland's is incredible.
>crown
>poland has no monarch
Jesus is crowned king...but also its a very historical symbol, the soviets got rid of the crown but after the fall we brought it back
basically every polish insignia has eagles with crows because soviets took the crowns so we added them back just to spite them
historically, the king in Poland didn't have much real power since the 17th century or so, so the crown has a long history of being a symbol

Best: Scandinavians, Ukraine, Turkey, Italy, Romania, and Spain
Worst: Portugal and France.
Ok gays. What's the best symbol of all time, current or historical
God damn France, Austria and Portugal are terrible. What the hell?
underrated
Honestly Ukraine
ehhh, it looks generic
I like Hungary's, and Portugal's fricking sucks
The best.
Krautcuck shit looks the worst, as always.
Worst easily the Netherlands followed closely by France/Portugal.
Best? Italy(because canon's) and a shared 2nd spot for, russia/uk. Honorable mentions are Romania/Poland and Spain.
I like the Finnish one
I like the Swedish one, very clean. Worst is France.
The inverted triangle in the circle looks great.
It is also the only great thing about the austrian military.
>switzerland
>wordwordswordswordswords
but why
they have 4 official languages
Greece, but only because it is a rip off of Austria (which to be fair had been a rip-off of the Eastern Roman Empire).
>Inb4 HRE ≠ Austrian Empire
Obviously not, sadly, but for the relevant flag period it is.
fricking danes and estonians stealing the Three Lions from are brave boys
>France, Germany, the Netherlands
It's funny how the politicians have turned a symbol of might and tradition into a corporate logo.
You can almost tell which country has a strong sense of nationalism and identity and which is globohomosexual type by their army symbol alone.
Reminds me of this.
People out fantastical things on their coat of arms that they can never have.
>Normal countries: unicorns, dragons
>Communist countries: grain, bread
>England: puts France on theirs
Well:
>England invades France 46 times. France still French.
>French invade England once, national language, culture, and ruling elite changed forever.
>normans
>french
get to frick
Normans are potent Frank-Nord hybrids who dominated Anglo betas.
Hmmm...
>speak French
>from the Kingdom of France
>insufferably continental
Yep, they definitely French. Go back to PrepHole and jack off to your haplogroup astrology with the other rubes.
The good Henry actually got his son to be crown-prince of France and held the crown for him. One united dual monarchy in the West!
Unfortunately, he had ruined England to defeat the French and the peasants went full riot mode and many of the knights to suppress then were dead in France.
They rioted the frick our of the kingdom and even seized the young prince, now king, and could have deposed him or killed him, but flinched and let him go.
Eventually the rioters lost but only because they ran out of richgays to loot and began to loot the poor city folk who has joined and helped them. These then turned on the rebels and helped the nobility put the revolt down.
Basically, won the war but taxes his people into open warfare to do it, which then destroyed his army and let the French take back the crown and, slowly, more and more territory.
But the whole reason the nobility and English king had claims in France in the first place was because they were of French descent.
I like the German and Slovakian ones best. Simple and distinctive (eagles and lions are overrated).
The idea of the French one, modern and simple but it looking like a sword with an offset blade drives me crazy.
>pic related would be better
t.French
Germany and Ukraine are top-tier.
best: Germany. though it would be better in the classic black and white. they obviously toned down the contrast to make it less menacing.
Ukraine, Finland are also pretty cool. of those with crowns (usually too convoluted), Norway looks best.
Kosovo is pretty baller tbh. Swiss is a bit simplistic but also a classic.
worst: has to be Austria. looks like a laundry symbol. also bad: France, Belgium, Portugal. Turkey looks gay because they are.
>Norway
The red backdrop looks disgusting though.
Germany very cringe symbol, looks like the logo of a beer brand.
ukies and finns are the most pleasing from the modern graphic design standpoint
all the ones with crowns on
>armee de terre
is that like army of earth? haha
earth, or ground perhaps
what a silly name hahahaha
That means "Land Army".
didnt ask go explain french to someone that cares sickle cell poo eyes
Germany and France looks like some sort of washing powder logo
this gives me tiberian vibes.
>We are going to have to act if we want to live in a different world (machine shop sounds)
AUSTRIA
is the UN SPACY
no thats not the alps
thats a giant buried space fortress
Great Britain is by far the best.
Poland, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Slovakia, Luxembourg and Czechia are ok too.
The rest are pretty ugly.
Then France, Portugal and Belgium are just insanely bad. And Switzerland is just pure autism.
the hell is going on here? looks like a society of beekeepers logo.
That's Utah
sieges and a lot of dead ottomans
This is the only conclusive ranking.
>symbol looking like a fricking women uterus drawn by autistic 11 y.o

Holy kek

Spain, Norway, and Finland.
And finally we come to rating the national Navy emblems of European c**t trees
How does Bongland have such a shitty insignia for their Navy? Looks like a fricking logo for a department's store blue jeans brand or some stupid shit.
every ship and submarine has its own heraldry so if they chose a single one for the navy it would either be generic or look like one ship over another
Greece's is pretty sweet
belaruse is breddy gool
Ukraine, Moldova and Greece are best
the ones favoured by wehraboos are the worst
Worst = France
Best = UAF
Honorable mention: Finland still using the swastika
>Finland still using the swastika
They dropped it in 2017.
a hard tie between Britian, Sweden, and France.
>Britian
actually has an expeditionary force, it is well equipped and has always held good relations with the US. being an island nation it is both forced to have a strong navy, but also that navy is well equped.
>France
generally considered to be over compensating, france has a small empire and either directly or indirectly controls North Africa. it has an expeditionary force, but it is more correct to call it an extra-territorial military policing force. they are a declining power with some significant problems to over come to maintain their status quo.
honestly, I would recommend they stop trying so hard, they would benefit more long term by giving up on their ambitions.
>Sweden
their policy of armed nutrality has built up a very strong domestic industry and built up a strong standing national army. while no expeditionary force, no one doubts Sweden's ability to defend itself without the aid of NATO or the EU.
I'm going over some reasons of nations I chose not to include:
>Germany
while definitely a leading arms producer, they have a significant logistics and armament problem. this is very deep and inset. it has nothing to do with their capacity but the Obstinance of their procurement branch of government. if they could just engineer a way around that, they could probably compete with the likes of the US.
>Poland
while quite aggressive towards Russia, their military is heavily focused on national defense. they don't field the top of the line equipment, and still have some lingering soviet equipment that is "rack grade" and has been modified heavily. luckily as of recent they have "leased" a lot of it to the Ukraine as it is cheaper and are replacing it with second hand US equipment and NATO equipment.
>Turkey
they have a strong national military, but no expeditionary force. they are rather a wild card but internal struggles keep them from realizing their full strength.
>germany france and portugal
souless shit looks like a car company or something
England has the best because it has human language on it instead of babel
take your meds schizo
Pretty boring that most are using crossed swords or lions rampant.
Portuguese flag is wrong, that’s a website logo. The portuguese armed forces symbol is pic
