Flag advice super thread

[Valemora]

Thoughts on my flag?

I believe you have ashed before. Still way too busy IMHO

Not in this thread I haven't. I did ask in the flag request thread if anyone had suggestion for improvement if you've been in that one. Yes, it is busy but not as much as the flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, which it's loosely based on.

While I don't dislike the design, you really need to get rid of the ripple effect.

Good



Could anybody rate the 4 flags and two coat of arms?

I changed my flag and I'd like your opinions. Here is my factbook too: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=vry ... id=2778105

It has been steadily improving.

I would suggest flipping the field vertically for better contrast with the shield,

Thank you! I applied your suggestion.

I've fiddled some more with my flag. Is it any better?

[The Ottoman Warriors]

My nation covers Turkey and the southern caucus states has expansionist dream of conquering the Balkans, they believe in fictional and extreme religion Christojudlam which as one can gather is an extreme and somewhat incoherent mash of the Abrahamic religions (the name was applied in retrospect in universe)

Both are rough digital drawings they follow the same design but with different pallets




Turkey color scheme


I’m just curious which is better or other advice

Simple is good for flag designs.,

if you really feel you must add something, then there are 2 options I think might work

• A very thin blue stripe down each side of the white stripe
• Three blue circles (about half the stripe width) down the white stripe,

Don't mess with the right side - it is great the way it is.

I see no problem with the flag

[Beroslavakia]

Hello! Two things.

Is my flag/banner okay, and I want my flag/banner to have a “Russian/Eastern Slavic” or “Post-Soviet” or “Highly Militarized” feel to it, so please give constructive criticism on how to make it have that feel.

(NOTE: It has a pride flag and protogens on the flag for Pride Month. If you wish to see the official flag, read my overview post on my Factbook.)

I don't think either the border or the stars are working. Try expanding the eagle to fit the full canton.

Great for a smogpunk, industrial, mining settlement and believe it or not, your design isn't entirely unrealistic. The only thing I would change is the black stripe on the fly. Right now it just looks like any other seal-on-pale flag out there. So keep just the black stripe on the hoist and change nothing else.

That's only if you want to go for an ultra brutalist, thick-with-smog sort of vibe though

Very uninteresting and generic, but if you’re opting for realism then that’s exactly what you want. The only thing I would change is the colour of the seashell. White on yellow is hard to see, so I would make it black or blue, or give it a thick outline. That’s all.

I see. That could definitely work, though I originally thought of it as a modified Japanese flag (similar to this main) so the emblem is in the center. I’ll try your suggestion tho :D

Edit: Forgot to say this is meant to be a more militaristic and assassin type of group, which is why I kept it limited to a grayscale palette

Actually that's much better, yeah. I'm guessing this is meant to a Christian-majority nation on Africa's west coast?

We're just a Latin American-styled country in an Austronesian continent
we're also a Christian-majority country

Ah, I see. Well if your nation resembles Latin America, you might want to think of adopting a red-yellow-blue colour scheme, since red-yellow-green (which is what you have now) suggests a pan-African ideology. I get that you're probably trying to do like a Bolivia type thing, but Bolivia's flag doesn't look remotely Latin American.

Here's what I suggest: Ditch the top stripe. Make the flag evenly divided with yellow on the hoist and red on the fly. Put the blue seashell in the middle of the yellow charge.

The other option is similar, but have red on the hoist and yellow on the fly. Then put a white cross in the middle of the red charge.

Green is probably a no-go. And I'd abandon the idea of having a shell and a cross, as that would be too cluttered. I know that's a bit rich coming from me, but my flag is deliberately cluttered since it's inspired by medieval fantasy whereas yours is grounded in reality. Does that make sense?

Edit: Why does this read like AI? I swear I wrote this. AI is a fucking plague and I hate that it's affected the way I write.

The green meant to represent the surviving descendants of the first inhabited peoples of Nueva Compostela before the Hintuwani descendants (represented by a yellow color) and Masrayan descendants (represented by a red color), so that's my choice, and also about the Pan-African colors is my inspo for these chosen colors.
Any thoughts on that?
