Back in 1955, the Council of Europe reviewed more than 100 designs, and chose this one as the winner.
The 12 stars stand for completeness, not countries. The design was chosen so it wouldn’t change with borders or new members.
Happy 70th birthday to the European flag 🇪🇺

I like the flag. "Twelve stars in a circle" sound boring but in practice its a great aesthetic an has a lot of character
