Redesign (secular) Flag of Republic of Iraq
Pretty basic, keeping Pan-Arab red-white-black tricolour as the basis. Green is also Pan-Arab colour, and also added to represent (not sure) Shia Muslims, while golden octagonal star on green represents Kurds, Assyrians and basically all other minorities, while as the "star of Ishtar" represents Ancient heritage of Mesopotamia. Removed "Allahu Akbar" written in the middle to make this flag secular.

Historical/Current lion and sun flag of Iran pre dates 2576 years ago
History:
Achaemenid Empire (c. 550–330 BC): The motif appeared on seals and standards. For example, seals depict King Artaxerxes II accompanied by a lion, with the sun representing the ancient deity Mithra and the woman (Anahita) representing royal majesty and water.
motif traces its pre-Islamic roots to ancient Persian astronomy, astrology, and royal iconography. The sun represented cosmic authority and the Zoroastrian god Mithra, while the lion symbolized kingship and power. Together, they symbolized the sun positioned in the constellation Leo.
Officially used in Safavid Dynasty flag in 1500s and evolved until after Islamic revolution in 1980s when the clerics demanded "we want Iran to go under the crest of islam" and removed its signature look, but now it's presumed soon to return to its original pre Islamic revolution flag.
Flag meaning:
Royal Dark Green:
Represents the rich, lush landscapes and fertility of northern Iran. In historical and monarchist contexts, the deeper shade is also associated with class, sovereignty, and deep connection to pre-Islamic Persian identity.
White:
Symbolizes peace, purity, honesty, and the peaceful intentions of the Iranian people.
Red:
Represents courage, valor, and the blood of fallen heroes shed in defense of the country.
The Lion:
Historically represents bravery, power, and kingship.
The Sun:
Symbolizes celestial glory, royalty, and cosmic order.

Discussion Pink national flags?
I would love to see a national flag with pink as a dominant colour.
Which countries do you think could actually have a pink flag based on national/historical colour symbolism?
As an example, maybe Japan due to the Sakura cherry blossoms.
