The American poster design has the flags in front of the U.N. building curved across the bottom. On the first version of the poster, the one on the far left was the U.N. flag. This placed the U.N. flag higher on the poster than the adjacent American flag, which is exactly in line with the flag etiquette in force at U.N. Headquarters. However, the poster was redesigned, presumably to avoid causing offense to American audiences who might be ignorant of the U.N. HQ flag etiquette. The second poster removes the U.N. flag entirely, and moves every other flag one flagpole over, so that the American flag is now highest, followed by the Canadian, then the British which, incidentally, is still incorrect on several counts: at U.N. HQ the US flag does not fly higher than the others since it is contrary to international flag etiquette for one nation's flag to be displayed higher than any other in time of peace, and the flags at the U.N. are arranged in English alphabetical order.
