Great design conveys powerful messages through simple aesthetics.

Flag design is probably the simplest form of graphic design. It is often a matter of a few strong colors, a few fields, very rarely a coat of arms. Flags carry a whole history within them and almost always symbolize pride, freedom and unity.

That made them the perfect tool to protest UEFA’s ban of the rainbow colors in the Allianz Arena. By subtly incorporating the rainbow flag, Visit Brussels gave each flag just that extra bit of new information.

Making it a strong symbol with a clear message: all countries that are part of the European Union are against the anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and the ban of UEFA. Because every country is more than the colors of its flag.
