Yikes, the runner up is much, much better. It's a beautiful design really. I would be happy to have that as our flag.

The winner definitely has that super death-ray feel to it.
Maybe we should build one.

dafuq am I looking at with the winner? I honestly can't see anything beyond Hercules' belt or some other death ray-type thing like has been mentioned.

It's a worm's eye view of the Calgary Tower.

The best is the dude's explanation.
But our clear winner is Andrew Yule of Calgary. He calls it Rural Meets Urban: “I took the view from the Calgary Tower glass floor to represent Calgary’s urban growth. And create the ‘C.’ Then I added spurs to represent our cowboy roots.”
Sounds like this:
Well basically, I just copied the plant we have now. Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.

Do not like the runner up at all. Blech. The winner will at least draw some attention to itself, unlike the runner up which is not interesting at all.

I don't mind the new design. I mean it's a city flag so who really cares? Mine as well have a bit of flare.

It looks like the shaft of a robot penis, so we'll be well situated for the rise of the machines.

If you imagine the top of the tower as the Death Star, it gets a little better....

The viewpoint of the winning flag is looking down from the glass floor of the tower at the lobby level glass ceiling, not looking up at the underside of the tower. Markusoff and the judges didn't get that obviously. The base of the tower isn't all glass.
That glass ceiling will no longer exist in that form once the redevelopment goes ahead.
"while I feel the underside of the glass deck could look simpler, I love the concept and effect. "

I guess it goes to show that you get what you pay for. Or beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
