Flags

The flag and crest, along with former PM Tymoshenko, are evidence of the Ukrainians' highly refined aesthetic sense.

It all works well. The strongly contrasting colours and bold design are quite eye-catching; my one complaint is that to me the Trezub design seems a little too complicated to be drawn from memory.

Maybe, but I don't think it would take more than 20 tries to learn how to. It could still get simplified.

I agree, I just tried drawing it, but failed.

I actually got back from Europe (I'm australian) 2 weeks ago, and I stayed in Kyiv for a few days, it seemed pretty bleak, although i suppose that has to do with it still being snow-covered.

My family orinigally comes from the Chernivsti area in southern Ukraine.

УКРАЇНА!!

Oh and I have a seal

:

The text says deos enim religuos accepimus, Caesares dedimus which means the gods were handed down to us, but we created the Caesars (i.e., the rulers) ourselves.

I'm proud of it

How about you share them; in the spirit of constructive criticism.

It's out of proportion and the lines are a bit pixelated, the symmetry, of which I suppose there is meant to be, is disgraceful, expecially with the brown circles and the orange lines connecting the large ovals.

Personally, I like the flag. The implementation needs a bit of work, but the general design is nice. I also like square flags.

Embroidery is a wonderful thing. Though it tends to make for expensive flags.

This is the flag of my as of yet unnamed Empire:

How does it look?

It looks fantastic! I love it. My only problem with it might be that the 8-pointed star is a bit difficult to draw.

Yes, that is indeed what makes an 8-pointed star. And it's quite difficult to draw. I obviously mean freehand.
