CMV: The Brazilian flag is not ugly. In fact, it is one of the prettiest flags in the world.

Apparently some people think the Brazilian flag is ugly. I for one have no problems with it and actually think it's a cool looking flag for the following reasons:

It has three of the four "basic" colors - blue, yellow, and green. The first two make the third.

It has a number of basic shapes - a sphere, two triangles (the diamond), and a rectangle.

The bright colors, including bright green, are appropriate for a predominantly tropical country that has a large amount of rainforest. A similar color scheme appears on the logos of the Brazil World Cup and Rio Olympics as well as in many other businesses and media associated with Brazil (the logos for Banco do Brasil and Banco Itaú and the American film Rio each use blue-and-yellow color schemes).

The slogan - "Order and Progress" in Portuguese - is pretty neat.
