Quick question : which Mexican flag is the correct one?
Mexican flag - which is correct?
The second one.
wikipedia says the other one, hence my question. I guess a Mexican can best answer this one 
Here's where I got it from

At first glance, the first one looks like a CMYK image copied directly into an RGB-mode image.
I found this on google 
It's the first one. Straight from Mexico's government website: http://www.presidencia.gob.mx/images/bandera.jpg

I'd never seen the 2nd one before today.
edit: I live 100 miles from Mexico.

the second one has always been the flag image we use here 
Never got any complaints though, but when i saw the other flag, i got my doubts and wanted to know for sure

Offtopic: Hmm... Did you get that avatar from the Volvo website by any chance?
How the hell are you supposed to tell the difference at that size? o_0
You never got complaints because nobody could see it!
the colours, mostly
So it's the first one?
+1 for me
+1 for me
The colour changes are barely noticeable
I found it on google and it made me crack up... ALWAYS be careful around Volvo drivers!
Eh... more like the proportions, but yeah you don't really look at icons that closely. I would have guessed that they were all a single standardised dimension.
edit: I see mine is missing a red stripe (the 13th) on the bottom, and the hoist is too tall compared to the fly. Supposed to be a 10:19 ratio. But who cares. It's an icon
Indeed. For example; the finnish flag
-(using the PMS-color system) blue 294C, red 186C, yellow 123C. It is ruled by the council of state (http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/1993/19930827)
the dimensions are:
-Height 11 and width 18 units.
-The width of the horn of the blue cross is 3 units
-the height of the white areas (=squares) are 4 units. The flagpole side white squares are 5 and the outer squares are 10 units in width.
I doubt Victor actually checked all this...
English only!
Its the same flag to my eye;
eagle eating a snake while standing on a cactus which is in the middle of a river.
Other one looks like a 5-year-old drawing with ms paint.
EDIT: Oh, you meant colours.. :F
