I have no issue with having a standard European passport, but those are ugly as fuck 🤣
Fuck no, why make them all the exact same? Maybe just include a common element, but nothing more. The current designs are cool af and it’s nice to have the variety
What do you mean, is Europe ready? This is like the least intrusive and impactful change ever. That said, why? Why is this even a thing that would be necessary? This just sounds like a whole lot of wasted time and effort for little to no payback.
What purpose would that serve? They already have commonalities.
no thanks
I’d put the state symbol in the middle of 12 stars and it’s cool enough.
Who cares. Let’s spend money on the things that actually matter
No, i like my danish passport. And i like that different nationalities have unique covers. Its fun to glimpse at peoples passports when travelling.
“Oh look a Spanish passport”
“Ah, a dirty Swede”
Its ugly no thanks, I like the common color of the passports we have, the designs can be local
The EU’s motto is “United in Diversity”, right?
I think it is a missed trick for the EU not to make the passports Azure instead of Burgundy. By having an Azure body with Gold foil lettering, you make every passport symbolic of the EU flag, which is easily distinguishable and much more symbolic than the current choice of passport colour.
You’d also get the added benefit of having every member state do it, as Croatia wouldn’t object to Azure the same way as they do to Burgundy.
Whilst the official definition of Pantone Reflex Blue works, the deeper Pantone PMS 287 from the 2013 Council of Europe logo would look classier on a passport in my opinion
I dont care
I have no problem with it but I don’t think that’s where our political will should be focused. It would just give ammunition to the sceptics for no benefit at all.
No i dont like. Lets celebrate Diversity by allowing each country to design their own passports.
We arent one culture and never will be, we are 10s of different cultures.
I think it’s stupid. Countries should still hold an identity other than a flag.
And if the answer is no? Then of course it is not about butt-ugly design or lack of any advantage. No, it must be because Europe is not ‘ready’ yet, just too immature.
UK died for this.
Nope, want my Harp back. Irish fist, european second.
Just don’t make it a book. It is so impractical..
Do they have to be this ugly tho?
I have no problem with a common design, maybe less militaristic than those? What about all the languages we use? The contents would still need to be country-specific
what solution looking for a problem is this? i really don’t care how it looks as long as it does its job, like ‘get me on that plane’ or ‘ open that bank account’.
What’s the point?
It’s not the readyness, it’s the bland uglyness
Nope id like to keep my blue EU passport
another soulless design, like the Euro notes…
Or EU could fire whoever thinks their job is to make passports look identical, and spend the money on something that matters.
No just saying in Yugoslvia we all had red ones.. now we have the blue ones and imo they look more classy anyway its just my 2c
No
The EU has taken away enough things specific to member countries. Money and licence plates. It is so annoying having to guess the letters on licence plates because of those stupid EU stars.
I dislike modern minimalism so fucking much.
Awful, let’s celebrate our differences, not our sameness.
Boring. Red and boring. Plain, red, and boring.
Center the 12 stars. Make them occupy 1/3 of the cover. Make them gold yellow with a pattern you can feel on touch. Make the cover navy blue and index the country on the upper left corner.
Make it conform to EU colour scheme.
Make it so even if you are legally blind with massive blur spot in your vision and only 40% peripheral vision left, you still can immediately tell this is EU issued document the moment you spot it.
This looks like Belarus driving licence…. c’mon.
So the continent which popularised the coat of arms globally would be the only continent that wouldn’t have coats of arms on its passports? Are you insane?
Why not have the national coat of arms encircled by the European ring of stars? It’s just an obvious design that works in all countries.
Ugly. At least put the national shield inside the star circle
