- biftek 11y agoI thought the same thing, didn't even have to click on it to know that was swiss. The Vatican passport is pretty nice too, with only the gold emblem on black.
- joosters 11y agoI like the Vatican passport design too. I wonder if the inside is written in Latin?
- ptaipale 11y agoNo, it seems to be Italian (with French and English to support). http://www.quora.com/What-does-the-inside-of-todays-Vatican-passport-look-like http://www.quora.com/What-does-the-inside-of-todays-Vatican-...
- antoinealb 11y agoSerious question: why is it unsurprising ?
- chestnut-tree 11y agoSwiss graphic design is very well known all over the world (at least by Graphic Designers). Words often used to descrbe it are: modern, clean, minimal, unfussy, neutral, rational. (People who dislike the style might also sometimes describe it as cold or even bland.)
- ptaipale 11y agoThat's right. Also, we all probably know Helvetica, the font, named after the country.
- chestnut-tree 11y agoI personally found looking at the visual design of the passport covers to be much more interesting than the 'power ranking'. It would be interesting to know what each passport image depicts or represents. I really like Sweden's passport cover. Maybe it's partly because the passport image isn't centred that makes it a bit less stuffy and official. Others I liked: UK, Malta, Mauritius - all old-fashioned but still quite nice. In fact, all of the passports look old-fashioned with their historic emblems (although El Salvador has an outline of the country, rather than an emblem). The Swiss one is the only one that looks modern in this regard.
