Your thoughts on my flag?

Certainly fits the theme...

[Diarcesia]

The flag's green is made lighter. Thoughts?

Its good but the cross has an uneven width vertically and horizontally

Had to make a few alterations in the logo to keep the desired effect.

How would you fix my flag?

Try changing the color of the hand to your left to AA550E.

[Dorab]

Keep or scrap the border around the sun?

Keep or scrap the border around the sun?

Either scrap the border or scrap the hands.

The border works well, it's just that it gets a bit too close to the hands.

[Almonaster Nuevo]

How would you fix my flag?

Move the hands so that they each sit on one colour only (as if hidden by the other).
Make the blue and green a little darker and more saturated, the red and yellow brighter.

Better?

Not quite what I meant. See the flag thread.

Dorab, I appreciate that you've been so open to criticism this whole time.

While you've technically made the color contrast better, everything now looks too bright & garish. Plus I'm not sure there's a good way to make the hands work with the colors they currently are (though I do think it was a good idea to move the hands away from the vertical center). It can be difficult to find a set of color values that look nice together, since what looks "right" varies from person to person.

I've made a quick basic design & color palette that I think you might like, or at least find useful in the future:

So I need an assist on how to make this flag better, I've already received some advice, which I will be attempting to use once I am no longer sick with vertigo, but I would much appreciate as much advice as possible until then. As it appears many people view my flag as garish, I can't tell as I am color-blind.

Let me know what you think of this basic layout:

(I don't have the original claw image you used, so I've just placed a crosshair at the incenter of that section.)

Other non-colorblind people, please give me some feedback as well.

Looks good. The crosshair can be anti-aliased. It can also be 5-10% larger to utilize more of the blank spaces.

Thoughts on these? How can they be improved?

made my first flag ever just curious what you all think.

Hmmm... not bad I'd say; your flag does have potential. I do, however, think the white stripe on the left is a bit unnecessary and I do think that the smallest star looks a bit squished. In addition, I'd recommend making the red, orange and yellow curves a bit bigger.

1. Wow, your flag does look quite good. The only thing I'd recommend improving is placing the stars on the top left.
2. Again, the flag looks great. Frankly, I don't really see much you could improve on tbh.
3. Well... for your third flag, it isn't that bad but I'd recommend aligning the edges of each colour with the edges between each corner of the star to make the design more symmetrical and more ''organised-looking''.

Far too busy, both in symbols and in colour.

[Echibin]

My current flag I'm a little ways satisfied with, though I'd definitely like advice on how to improve it. I've made sure that each color and detail symbolizes the nation to some degree and that it wouldn't be too cluttered (mainly staying simple and following the 3 color rule, though I do have a 4th color because it wouldn't look nice through any other means having two of the same blue).
Aside from actual critique and suggestions to make the flag generally look better, I'd also like to know how you would design an alternate flag for other ideologies, since I haven't heard of how to do that often. Simply the basics for it would be enough to suffice for me.
I'm aware that the colors are not evenly distributed, that is fully intentional.

[Almonaster Nuevo]

Firstly, well done on keeping it simple. You have the core of a really strong design there, and it is already much better than many of the flags out there.

On the colours, I don't think you have enough contrast between them, and I find the 2 shades of blue somewhat jarring. Given that red is the separator, I would suggest keeping that dark and using lighter shades for the others.

I'm not sure why the reduced brown stripe is important. If it is just a matter of the proportion relative to the blue, I think you can kill two birds with one stone by using it as the background for the central cartouche.

If not, then I would suggest either splitting it into two smaller symmetrical stripes, or a vertical stripe, or in some other way making it clearer that it is intentional rather than a misplaced boundary.

[Echibin]

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate the help.

The first one is a common combination, but still a classic. Reminds me of the flag of the Tonga islands. A good 8/10.

The second reminds me of Japan and the ROK, with a mix of synthwave/outrun. I like it. 7/10.

The third is common in vexillology, but is still one of my favorite designs. Combine it with red and white, my favorite two-flag color combination, and you have yourself a winner right there. I'd avoid using it if you're not communist/socialist, though. 9/10.

Is there anyway you would change my flag?

Depends. What are you going for? What do the colors and the symbolism mean?

[Ko-oren]

Is there anyway you would change my flag?

Not by much, if anything you could make the star bigger, which would be very hard to spot from a distance. The colours work and are great!

1 is really good, it's simple and it works. It's distinct and recognisable from a distance. 8/10
2 I'm a big fan of as a logo, but I'm not sure if it works as a flag. 9/10 as a logo, 6/10 as a flag
3 has most of the same flaws as 2, but because of the simpler and more distinct colours, it mitigates quite a bit of it. 7/10
