You don't download a website. And the applications I listed are quite a lot better than a website would be to create a flag with.

I would like to ask if someone could please photoshop this picture of Rarity from MLP: Friendship is Magic on the upper-right part of my flag, Please just include Rarity herself if you do so. I would do it myself, but photoshop has been acting up for me for some reason. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I am in the wrong section of the forums, it will be moved accordingly.

I would also like to thank the Mod Sedgeistan for directing me here.


Was I forgotten? Not trying to pick, but I just want to make sure my request was taken in.


Someone please respond.

Fumonoxii, there's an application form in the first post of the thread - I'd recommend filling that out, as it makes things easier for the flag makers.

Basically a clean up on that flag. That was my first attempt at it, and, as you see, it needs a TAD bit of work done to it. What I would like to see, is that the black stripes at the top and bottom of the flag, be the same width as they are now. The silver cross not overlapping into the black. And maybe a silver or gold outline to the crest.

Do you have the crest on a white or transparent background? It'd really help.

With what you see, I merged them, using GIMP's merge layers. Now, I think I should be able to show you The actual thing. expect an edit to this, when I find it :)

EDIT:

See, told you :P

ANYWAY...

Image

The above is the crest. From what you see, it in and of itself, needs to be cleared up.

Image

The above it the base, I guess you could say, of the flag. The white would be the same red as in the crest, and the black cross in the center, between to two outer stripes, is silver. As you can see from the previous post about the flag, the golden crest and cross, aren't included on my flag

Thanks, Sedge. Winner, he's right (as mods usually are). I make all my flags in MS Paint, and it requires a dreadful amount of work and a steady hand, let me tell you. I've been making flags since 2010, and I only started making them for the public about two weeks ago.

Here you go. I cleaned up the edges of the shield a bit, too. I left the outline out as it didn't really look that good with it.
