Flag Stories ![](https://m.stacker.news/119586) # Yes, we like flags. We like them a lot. Actually, we are so fascinated by flags that we decided to explore them in every possible way in order to share our fascination with you. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119587) ### Why? Sure, there are a lot of books and websites covering the different aspects of flags like history, demography and culture, through heavy text, but we wanted to add new aspects to this field by only looking at the graphics and telling the story visually. So we started this Flag Stories project to discover the hidden stories behind the graphics. ### How? Basically we started looking at all the flags in the world and squeezed all the data we could possibly gather in to a blank spreadsheet. The more we dug into it, the more stories we managed to reveal, so our plan is to keep digging and continuously adding new stories to the project. Wikipedia has been our most used source for information, but you will find the specific source list for each visual at the bottom of the page. We have included flags of the UN member states. ### Who? We are ferdio - an infographic agency in Copenhagen transforming data and information into captivating visuals. So this project is pretty representative of our client based projects: adding value to data and information by telling visual stories that inform and inspire. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119602) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119590) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119591) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119592) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119593) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119594) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119595) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119596) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119597) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119598) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119599) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119600)
Archive Matrix: Steven Heller’s Font of the Month ![](https://m.stacker.news/119581) You’d think that by 2025 I would be sick of anything addressing the “future” by now. Having lived through the 60s through 90s visionary predictions of a pessimistic future – and having been a Philip K. Dick fan until well into the 2000s – I’ve had more than enough dystopian predictions come true. I look at the future as a fearsome spectre, which should mean that any symbolic references must cause me to feel the sting of future shock. Nevertheless, I continue to be fascinated with futuristic art and design. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119582) Dot-matrix letterforms tend to have a nostalgic air dating back to the 80s and the initial digital typographic era. They may also seem quaint – if not passe – by standards of today. However, van Rosmalen’s mathematically precise design, notably in the Cyrillic version, brings the future-past into the future-present. The structure of Archive Matrix in larger sizes is decidedly modern; in smaller weights it feels like letters on a primordial computer screen. Either way, it works well. It may seem, at first glance, that there are limited applications for Archive Matrix, but that ignores its uncanny potential for adding movement to a text.
