I was sent these flags by a friend and although it dates back to 2005, it is very much worth a look. It is part of an award winning campaign conducted by Portuguese magazine ‘Grande Reportagem’:

The creative challenge of the campaign was to reaffirm the magazine’s unchanged commitment to serious journalism by focusing on topics that are important for people’s understanding of the world today.

This led the creative team to the concept “Meet the world” and to the idea of using flags of different nations as vehicles to transmit it. In each case, the colours that appear on various national flags were used to symbolise a social or political issue that is specific to the country in question.
