"Does Brexit make my passport expire? No! But it does mean you get entitled to a beautiful new BLOO passport."

I like the intricately designed coat of arms that most passports have. I do support the idea of the EU's stars being on our passport, but this image shown here feels too simple, bland, and lazy.

To me it feels simple, honest and dignified. Like it deliberately chooses to build a new symbol together.

Use burgundy red. It was chosen for a reason

u/GOKOP May 09 '26
And what is the reason?

Essentially, it was chosen as a neutral colour to promote unity

1981? Many things have changed since then. And I still miss our green passports

Yes but there should be no default language. The EU has 24 official languages

Bland, reeks of bureaucracy. Use cultural heritage!

u/Esteban83550 May 09 '26
what would you suggest?
•
u/olddoglearnsnewtrick GALLIA CELTICA May 09 '26
Europe has such a varied, ultrammilllenial, culture and I would strive to have symbols of that prominently. Let me give you a (bad) example: I always loved the original UK cover with the symbol of the order of the garter and the lion and unicorn. Unique and less bland.
But this is only a very personal opinion and I do understand the challenge of finding a symbol that belings to ALL the European people!
Your initiarive/idea I do like a lot though and if given the choice I would ditch my national passport with a Schengen one without hesitation.

Why does a passport needs to have any culture attached to it? They're already very generic.

I would prefer if the country's emblem/coat of arms was in the middle of the star circle. But that would probably need explicit support from every country because how exactly an emblem can be displayed is often regulated by law
