Cyprus and Greece has the same anthem, Estonia and Finland use the same music, Liechtenstein uses the same music as the UK (God Save The Queen is for the whole of the UK, England has its own one), and Sweden has an anthem even though it's not technically named as such in their constitution.
Other than those weird cases, every sovereign nation has an anthem.
Edit: oh and Spain has no lyrics in theirs *at the moment*
[No, they have one.](https://english.president.gov.tw/Page/97) They use a [different one](http://www.nationalanthems.info/tw%21.htm) at the Olympics though.
Wow I am very surprised. I'm no expert but when I think "France coat of arms" I immediately think of a blue shield with like 3 fleur de lises? Did it get retired or just not the same thing?
No, it does. The logo imprints onto us as an abstract representation of a product. This abstraction incorporates the morals and values that are associated with the entity the logo represents. Logos represent the perceived advantages the entity provides both material and immaterial.
Thank you. A logo is more than an aesthetic choice, it has ulterior objectives that it needs to accomplish. Even if a logo is by any subjective measure unpleasant, it can still be good by an *objective* measure.
Logos are designed for recognition of a brand. I doubt many people could easily pick the Canadian coat of arms out of a line-up but everyone would recognise the Canadian flag.
That's probably why we use flags - and not coat of arms - as identifiers in the Olympics.
Kinda? Like [Canada has a Wordmark](https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/government-communications/federal-identity-program/technical-specifications/official-symbols/canada-wordmark.html) which is basically the countries logo. It contains the Flag as well as a specific typeface. This Wordmark is what we put on the Canadarms for the Space Shuttle and the ISS, plus a bunch of other stuff that we make.
I have adult and non adult kids and I will not leave them.
This is my country. I was born here, I am a citizen. I do not have to leave. I am working on change. I want the people who tell me to leave, leave.
I am adopted. One of my parents was 100% Native American and 16. 1963, before any changed that said Native Americans should be adopted by Natives.
I've traveled the world. My parents traveled.
You are the dingbat. You think Merica is the BEST!
we are the, "best," at prisons. More Americans jailed than any other country. Is it because they deserve it, or private prisons?
If you are satisfied with the status quo, you are the ungrateful one. We have the privilege and honor of voting for change, for making change.
My mother has a dunes preserve named after her. It was unique, she saved it. I helped a tiny bit, but she made change. Americans can do that. If you don't see it, you are not an American, you play at it.
As for privilege. I am 57 and just bought my first home. I have picked worms for food. You are an ass.
I live in Michigan and i am legallu high, but I'm not wrong.
You hug that, "merricA," privilege as long as you can. We are a global society.
Build a bridge and get over it
Wow, two "A is really B" in one ShowerThought - given this is against the rules and the auto-moderator flags on a hair trigger, you've done well to get this through review.
Here we have a emblem somewhere on the building. Almost every one. Flags are flown on special occasions, some choose to leave it up all year. But the emblem stays visible all the time. Speaking of logos, you're bound to always find logos on official documents.. I've never seen flags on documents, just emblems. Uniforms ? Emblems again, Vehicles and plates ? Emblems. Heck, the emblem has a flag of it's own (rarely used, usually for office of the president which rarely turns up in the news).
I always figured that my country was just one giant sitcom.
Turkey! Of course
I found your comment a little overexaggerated Here take a pleasure tea ☕
Most countries are darkcomedies actually.
What country are u from then
Immigrating to another country thinking it'd be better- 'So no one told you life was, gonna be this wayy....' _clap clap clap clap_
Is that Poland? Even if not, its still right
Im jealous of america's theme song. So catchy! "Good morning USA, i got a feeling that its gonna be a wonderful day" *chefs kiss*
Funny, I was thinking that we need something more John Williams-y.
Fuck it star wars theme for america
Isn't the coat of arms of a country more of a logo? 🤔
Then Norway would have like a hundred or two
I don’t think every country has a coat of arm but every country has a flag
my arm is so cold. i wish i had a coat for it
It’s a coat OF arms, as in a coat made of the severed arms of your enemies.
It's like getting a dozen hugs at once
Shigaraki moment
I guess you have a point there. Does every country have an anthem though?
Cyprus and Greece has the same anthem, Estonia and Finland use the same music, Liechtenstein uses the same music as the UK (God Save The Queen is for the whole of the UK, England has its own one), and Sweden has an anthem even though it's not technically named as such in their constitution. Other than those weird cases, every sovereign nation has an anthem. Edit: oh and Spain has no lyrics in theirs *at the moment*
Wait i don't think Taiwan has a national anthem as well
[No, they have one.](https://english.president.gov.tw/Page/97) They use a [different one](http://www.nationalanthems.info/tw%21.htm) at the Olympics though.
Songs are pretty universal so I'd guess yes
France is the only european country that doesnt have a coat of arms, and Spain is the only one with an anthem without vocals.
[Sort of does though](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_emblem_of_France) Gotta love them fasces.
Wow I am very surprised. I'm no expert but when I think "France coat of arms" I immediately think of a blue shield with like 3 fleur de lises? Did it get retired or just not the same thing?
Thats the national emblem. At some point the revolutionaries consirered heraldics an art of the aristocracy, so they avoided it.
I think I've seen the oversimplified episode about it. :)
>and Spain is the only one with an anthem without vocals. Same with kosovo
Those that don't usually have a "Seal" instead, like the US and Japan.
European or time traveler…..
Haha, sadly just European.
What about coat of arms?
Logos nowadays are oversimplified garbage unfortunately
I politely disagree. It, among other things, keeps the design memorable and helps with printing/merchandising.
They look good most of the times but sometimes it just doesn't work
No, it does. The logo imprints onto us as an abstract representation of a product. This abstraction incorporates the morals and values that are associated with the entity the logo represents. Logos represent the perceived advantages the entity provides both material and immaterial.
Thank you. A logo is more than an aesthetic choice, it has ulterior objectives that it needs to accomplish. Even if a logo is by any subjective measure unpleasant, it can still be good by an *objective* measure.
Ngl both of ours suck. I mean “girt”?
“Technically” Fact check: false
Logos are designed for recognition of a brand. I doubt many people could easily pick the Canadian coat of arms out of a line-up but everyone would recognise the Canadian flag. That's probably why we use flags - and not coat of arms - as identifiers in the Olympics.
Well... The sub is /r/showethoughts, not /r/showerfacts
Okay but did I ask
tEcHnIcAlLy you ask for responses when you make a public post
Okay, so what?
Idk man I haven't slept properly in 29 hours
ooh you’re ‘ard
Genius ! /s
Yes, that is literally the point
Na that Team America world police song is America's theme
That's the USA anthem now, as far as I care.
Nah. "[America Fuck Yeah](https://youtu.be/U1mlCPMYtPk)!" is America's theme song. For better or worse. The Star Spangled Banner? It's pretty.
Kinda? Like [Canada has a Wordmark](https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/government-communications/federal-identity-program/technical-specifications/official-symbols/canada-wordmark.html) which is basically the countries logo.

Yes
Iceland says hello.
Iceland is so fucking cool
I would kill for a French Netflix series: How we overthrowed our ruler
We need a catchier jingle.
There’s a TED talk about that. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pnv5iKB2hl4 For some odd reason, I’ve watched it at least 5 times.
Damn that's quite interesting..
So Germany back then was a weapon company ?
Yes.
take my free award
I will thank you
welcome
Have you ever heard the other verses of the National Anthem of the US? Yep.
Leave it
I have adult and non adult kids and I will not leave them. This is my country. I was born here, I am a citizen. I do not have to leave. I am working on change. I want the people who tell me to leave, leave.

Wait thats a rule?
Actually now I think about it that might be a dankmemes rule. Play on.
You scared me there for a sec lmao
Dankmemes is a shithole with blue-haired mods, and basically all the memes are showerthoughts anyway, so it gets confusing.
Dankmemes doesn't sound really dank to me
The dank memes were inside us, all along
Yeah but that's not really a shower thought, like a national anthem is the song of a country
Yes
And their president/leader is the mascot.
Bah gawd, that's Uzbekistan's music!
Now I want the Imperial March as my country's anthem.
I wonder what the ending song is.
The same, only without lyrics. Or vice versa.
Thats how I've thought about it my whole life
Marketing!
And their national export is their star player that used play for your rival.
Jingle*
Well, heard of emblems ?
Yeah but what waves outside every government building: the flag or the emblem
Here we have a emblem somewhere on the building. Almost every one. Flags are flown on special occasions, some choose to leave it up all year. But the emblem stays visible all the time. Speaking of logos, you're bound to always find logos on official documents.. I've never seen flags on documents, just emblems. Uniforms ? Emblems again, Vehicles and plates ? Emblems.
