Flags
Here's the flag of my as-yet-embrionic concountry/nation/people:
Yes, I made it on MS Paint.
The black motif is the character for "man; human being; member of this nation (etc)". It is green on the inside and gold on the outside to symbolise the philosophy that a person should be outwardly like gold (i.e. beautiful, unreactive, malleable but firm), and inside like green wood (i.e. alive, ever-growing etc).

No. Use stronger colours (#FFD700 and #008000 for example). To me as a colorblind your design above looks like off-green and green. Or orange and off-orange. The intention of flags and courts of arms is that you can see from far away who is approaching you e.g. on the battlefield or in a tournament.

Apart from the colorscheme, the horizontal line is awkward. You have this extremely poignant verticle element and then just throw in this simple horizontal one. It reminds me of what they did on the flag of CAR, it just gives one a headache to look at.

Yes! Thank you very much, it does look a lot better -- the proportions as well as the colour scheme. I've got Inkscape on my computer, but it looks so much harder to use than MS Paint. Gahh, I'll get my head round it eventually...Dampantingaya wrote:No. Use stronger colours (#FFD700 and #008000 for example). To me as a colorblind your design above looks like off-green and green.

Hmm... I've gotta disagree here. Apart from the fact that the black motif, including the horizontal line, is a grapheme representing a word which would lose its meaning without it, I also think that the horizontal line gives the flag a more balanced quality. I think the vertical element needs something to counter it, if you know what I mean.Viktor77 wrote:Apart from the colorscheme, the horizontal line is awkward.

Ok, dug up two other flags I had once designed for Nation States: Amit Razul (a theocracy, hence combining the yellow/white of the vatican with the red blood of Christ, and a green thorn crown to remind of His suffering)
and Hakwane (a military dictatorship, the two squares are supposed to be golden).

The one with yellow just seems harsh to the eyes -- while the orange seems softer. Maybe it's just me ...who knows

Here's the Ala-Khanid confederation flag
It is:
The moon and a star
A bow drawn
A horse.
The horse and the bow were vital in the Ala-Khanid conquest and Ala-Medyoic wars, and the moon and star are important in the Harukanid nomadic beliefs.

The flag of the Toretore was converted into the planetary flag after the Great war.
The old meaning: The three star represented the steps it takes to entreaty a god to your service, five to each of the three minor gods, fifteen to the largest god.
The yellow cross shows that the over-god reaches across the world and holds the people in place. The blue and purple show that the nature and the people can live together.
The New meaning: The three stars represent the three over-gods, the yellow, purple and blue the three sentient species.

Hopefully that link works. I'm still having such a hard time figuring out how to use google sites to link directly to a picture instead of a storage or gallery page.
I had debated on the color scheme. I had wanted to include black in the design besides the green and yellow but couldn't come up with anything that looked decent. I think it came out alright, if somewhat simple.

This isn't a flag generator per se, but it's pretty good. I used it for all my flag creation including the avatar you see to the left of this post.

Oh that reminds me, here are some banners I made up last week. Mostly as place holders til I can put more time into the design. Most of the symbols are Public Domain, from http://openclipart.org/
A few of them are probably OK.

Yeah, I was hear way back when the flag generator was put forth by one of the forum members, but now when I search for it I can't find it!
Is everyone just using vector graphics now?
It was a really great tool, please somebody help!
