EU may get new 'bar-code' logo
The European Union may be set to get a new bar-code-style logo as part of an image overhaul.
It would replace the current blue EU flag which has 12 gold stars representing member states.
European Commission president Romano Prodi commissioned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas to create the new design.
It places all the colours of the national flags of EU nations in strips alongside each other.
Mr Koolhaas says he wants to show the unique diversity and unity of Europe in one image.
The Independent reports Mr Prodi wants departments across the EU to look at altering Brussels' visual communication in the light of Mr Koolhaas' work.
Once member states agreed to the change, flags and letterheads would be changed.
Some designers don't like the new logo.
Bruce Dunlop, of Bruce Dunlop and Associates, said: "This is one of those ideas that would seem great around a boardroom table after a couple of Aussie chardonnays, but in practice it doesn't work."
The current EU flag was officially adopted by the European Commission in 1986.

Ich finde wie auch die Kritiker, dass sie ein bisschen kindisch und wie ein Strichcode aussieht und was meint ihr? Sollen das die Farben sein, die die europäische Gemeinschaft in der ganzen Welt repräsentieren sollen? :confused:
Das währe doch mal eine Fahne.
