Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons/issues/11

Here's how a USA flag should look: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg

But the proportions in this repo doesn't look right:

TIA

Thanks for the feedback, but for the actual SVG files and their proportions.. please refer to the original projects of the flags: https://github.com/koppi/iso-country-flags-svg-collection/issues and if it will be fixed there, then I will update them.

Honestly, I believe you are using the wrong source collection. It dishonors the designs.

For the web most of the times you kind of want to have the same aspect ratio for all images for consistency.. and sometimes you need it as a square so I don't see a real problem.. and as for a wrong collection.. do you have anything alternative in mind?!

I was hoping for SVG with regular/official proportions, more or less what Wikipeidia has, in a single collection. ISO/'country code top-level domains' country initials is handy. Minified SVG is ideal.

I understand wanting more square icons, but it gives me Y2K design flashbacks ;)
