@Aurserski
In my opinion, the font used for the ISA is a little too strong. As it is, I feel it pulls attention away from the stars and logo as it's so bold. Maybe consider using the nation's entire name, using a softer font such as arial, or calibri, and having it wrap around the circle with a light gray so it doesn't detract from the star and wreath.

@Centenniality
Perhaps a star in a circle, or a stylized emblem of your national animal/plant? Stars are a common feature on democratic flags. I think it looks quite nice as it is, but a colour change for the ink blot as suggested above might be what you're looking for

I used to be very proud of myself over this flag, but now I'm not sure. I feel the colors don't mix well but I can't think of an alternative.

That looks quite nice, but ineed the blue dragon would be nicer if the red would be different... Maybe on a white background?

I like it. You should just use the same colour blue throughout the flag. Currently, the dragon is a different colour blue than the upper and lower fields.

Agree! That would probably work out as well... That would also be better to keep the differences between the upper and lower banner with the middle one.

Well, I don't think those colors would aesthetically fit for me, as green is a bit too gross to mix with red, white and blue. Black really compliments about everything, but I guess I can just live with the ink blot issue and tell anyone not in the know about it ignorant of my culture

I mean something like this:

or this:

It seems to me like you edited the raster image, instead of using the vector graphic of the dragon to simply recolour it.

In any case, I personally prefer the darker version, but the light one doesn't look too bad either.

How's this?

Hey Herrebrugh, what program do you use? I tried to do the former, but there was a bunch a blue pixel shit all over the dragon.

I use Inkscape. I like that colour red, though. If you need help with colouring it, feel free to ask.

The program I use is Google Images. Fancy!

Hi guys. Just looking for opinions on my new flag. Yay or nay?

I really like this one. The colors blend and contrast to each other perfectly, an interesting yet uncomplicated symbol and an overall design that is very unique (the only flag I can think of that has a similar design is Mongolia's) and well thought out. Kudos.

Thank you so much :kiss:

Hey, am making a region and this is the founder. I made this a few moments ago and I have become very unsure. What do you think?

:oops:

Just a note, the text is a fictional text I made and it says "ONVARD" or "Onward" which is our kingdom's ruling family motto.

by **Aurum Rider** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:40 pm

I like it. What part of it are you unsure about?

I'm in agreement with Aurum, its pretty sweet.

Mostly the danger placement and the text. It all seems off-putting and really odd to me.

The text just seems a bit uneven, really. The space between the right ending of the banner and the word is different to that of the left ending and the word.

That flag would fit right in The East Pacific's whole style. But overall, very nice job. :clap:

That is freaking awesome. How did you make it?

I used paint.net.

Hi there, I am new here. Just wanted to know your opinion about the following flag I made for my country. How could it be improved? Thanks ton all in advance.

I like the look of it, but there's a lot of unused space on either side of the logo in the center
I'm assuming you went with a 1:2 ratio? Maybe considering a 2:3 ratio instead to cut down on the space on the sides?

In terms of the daggers, maybe try making them less wide so they aren't right up against the outline?
As for the text I agree with

It's just slightly squeezed into the left side of the banner.
