Could I have 3 stripes horizontally. Red on top, black in the middle, and green on the bottom. In the middle, I would like a skull with a rattle snake slithering through it. Also, behind that, I would like two, sword-length machetes. Thank you.

Agree with the tricolor, but the U.S. was original but quickly ripped off.

It is hard to get a "living garden gnome" to stay in one place.
Have you a reference image for a "living garden gnome" or should we ambush one in our garden with a butterfly net?
This is one that Google found...

Thank you.

I don't mean it's actually moving on the flag, just don't make it look like it's alive and not a statue


OK?

a horizontal tricolor of green, white and red. either using all or just a few please feel free to come up with alternate designs. I would like also in this flag the prussian heraldic eagle sitting on top of a crown, any crown will do as id like to see different options on show.

a gold and navy flag with white involved. in the centre a coat of arms being held up by a welsh dragon rampant and a black eagle rampant if that is possible. a platinum crown on top with a wreath (if that is the correct term) flowing out of the crown.

basically surprise me.

and can you design several regional flags, inspiration being islamic, celtic, slavic, norse and hispanic without being too cliche.

i know thats a lot but it would be most appreciated.

Love the Welsh dragons, eh?
I'll do the regional flags, Imagey.


Does that mean we should do the other three described before the request for regional flags?
Have some of the elements needed already.
As for "a gold and navy flag with white involved. in the centre a coat of arms ", it is necessary to know what coat of arms. (Or is it literally a coat with many arms?)
Thank you.

Imagey Nation wrote:Some thoughts for those having difficulty developing a flag.

Your flag is a symbol of the identity of your nation. It is how others recognize your country, like your face, not your shirt, is what others use to recognize you.
You chose a national animal and a motto, perhaps also a state religion. What is the history of your nation? How do these things reflect the ideals, aspirations and qualities of your nation?
With that in mind, what color or colors, lines, shapes and objects connote those aspects of your nation's identity?
How do these elements relate to each other, e.g. in importance, in order both spatially and emotionally, in time ... .

When you have thought through all this, you can describe what you want more exactly. That will make it easier to design the flag and the result will please you more.

And, like your face, you will change it less often than you change your shirt.

Thank you.


Hmmmm.......

Imagey.....
In that case.....
Could my flag be faded slightly and have 2 burn marks, 1 in the top left corner and one on the right edge of the flag. AS though the flag itself has fought in our battles

Thank you,

As a thank you for your efforts we will give you the Apache AH-64D anyway along with the UH-60, and you have a 90% discount on all products shipped from Venezue!


Took the flag to the local group of veterans who ... applied their knowledge to make it authentic.
It is now a veteran flag.

By helping others, we mean something you can do, as we make flags for others, that another needs.
What interests, abilities and experience do you have that might benefit another?
Thank you.

Just try to make it match the logo. Take note of the dragons, the yin yang, the flowers and blossoms and the other symbolism. Thanks in advance :)


How would it be different from your current flag?
Do you mean a different arrangement of the elements of the Bhutanese symbol?
Thank you.

Will do Celtic later. :p


Hispanic:
Image
Had some trouble with Hispanic symbolism, decided on this with Inti, the Incan sun god. May not be centered, Pixia's acting up so I used Paint.

Islamic:
Image
Used the Star and Crescent, along with the calligraphy for Allah, and incorperating all of the traditional Islamic colors (green, red, black, white).

Slavic:
Image
Incorperated red-white-blue, with darker shades. Also some funky symbol I found while searching.

Nordic:
Image
Odin's horn and the Scandinavian cross.

Hope you like them! :D

Could I have a vertical (France Style) tricolor, with Dark Blue on the left, and Black on the left, with White in the middle, and a circle of six gold stars, with a gold lion in the center? Thanks in advance.

Imagey,

Once again your application of your mind to the task has proved invaluable. Well done. :bow:

But unfortunatley, I am not creative, mainly because my computer fails if I try to use photoshop. I am not a flag maker, I do not know what I can give to the community. :(

I have always been a good machinima maker. (Does anyone here know machinma?)
I'm good at writing scripts, stories and making up stuff which sounds real
I know alot about the cold war and russia
I'm learning russian
I know alot about Radiation sickness
I cannot draw nor edit stuff of computers. (I write, I don't draw)
I have a book of stuff about the SAS.
I know alot about current British operations in the Middle East (Vehicles mainly)
I have a large In-game army (See nswiki link in sig)


But I don't know how any of that would help...

Once the finished flag is posted, right click on the image. In the pop up menu, choose 'save as'. In the browser, locate where you want to save the image on your computer, then in the file type selection, make sure you are saving as a jpg, gif or png. Preferably, save it as the same format it is in. Click 'save' to save it.

As for your request, do you want the constituent flags 1) side by side in some arrangement, 2) superimposed in some order or 3) do you want their elements recombined in some fashion?
Thank you.
