You really have to hand it to Croatia when it comes to branding. They’re the only ones who escaped from the dull, pan-Slavic-with-a-red-star monotony of Yugoslav symbols to emerge with instantly recognizable national colors. Say what you want, but the red & white checkers are distinctive, unlike Slovenia’s seal — or any of the miserable flags that have been proposed by the stylistically handicapped over the years to try to make Slovenia stand apart. The most-recent suggestion was so universally loathed that it was shelved, and the whole idea had to be put on ice.

In the meantime, famous rappers are wrapping themselves up in Croatian scarves. A new fashion trend may be on the horizon…

(Thanks Nina!)
