Current EU flag is centred. Uncentred it make no sens.
BTAxis:
UlteriorMotives, can you re-render your flags in 485x300? That's the resolution of the flags we currently use.

Sure, though it'll break my heart to use a ratio other than 2:3 =P
You want all of them or just the ones that have been "approved"?
BTAxis:
All of them, might as well.

The original is a pretty slick design. My only real beef with it is that it's essentially a slightly modified Surinamese (Surinaman?) flag, and Suriname is perhaps even less Latin American than the United States. If that design gets kept, I wanted a more representative design to at least have been considered.
--- Quote ---Good improvement, however I liked the design slightly off-centre as most of the other flags have centred designs. Can you move it slightly to the left?

I'd strongly recommend changing the EU flag as little as possible, seeing as it's legally required to stay the same. Adding a star reflects its name as the Greater European Union, though in earnest, I doubt there's real concern from the EU for using the original design:
--- Quote ---Use by third parties
The European emblem may be used only if:
* there is no likelihood of the user of the emblem being confused with the European Community or the Council of Europe;
* the emblem is not used in connection with objectives or activities which are incompatible with the aims and principles of the European Community or of the Council of Europe.
Permission to use the European emblem does not confer on those to whom it is granted any right of exclusive use, nor does it allow them to appropriate the emblem or any similar trademark or logo, either by registration or any other means. Each case will be examined individually to ascertain whether it satisfies the criteria set out above. This will be unlikely in a commercial context if the European emblem is used in conjunction with a company's own logo, name or trade mark.

That said, I did tweak it and made off center version as well.
