Got it. So your flags' designs are indeed very "crisp" and "modern" looking! They're great flags in and of themselves, and I especially liked the way the white of the Byzantine Cross cuts across the flag (I had actually contemplated a similar design at one point before deciding against it). That being said, I'm looking for something that looks a bit more medieval to fit Temosia's theme. My nation is a very traditional society; the last time it had any major influence from outside was between the World Wars, and even then it wasn't much. So I think the flag should look more "ornate" for lack of a better word, like a holdover from an earlier century.
Here are some links to some different flags to give you an idea of what I'm looking for:Flags:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Pr ... of_Italy_(1861%E2%80%931946).svg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_G ... iki_flag_(1821).svg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicate_ ... rborea.svg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_V ... Venice.svg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_o ... Sardinia_(1848).svg
Even though some of these have the cross at the side or whatever; I'm thinking it would look best if the Byzantine Cross was in the middle, especially since religion is pretty central to the life of the citizens of Temosia. It's also okay if you take creative liberties in order to make the Byzantine Cross look more ornate. The flag doesn't have to be as utterly complicated as the Kingdom of Two Sicilies or Republic of Venice flags; I just wanted to demonstrate how the detail makes the flag look less "20th century". I also like how the Republic of Venice flag has some nifty stuff going on at the sides. If you want some further inspiration for patterns, you can take a look at some Ancient Greek pottery patterns like these that could be on the side of the flag: https://www.google.com/search?q=greek+p ... fiy4w8DrlM:
I hope you found my feedback helpful!

Alright, thanks for the input. I'll try to stay more to the ornate and decorative aesthetic. Expect some more designs later today.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Definitely not looking to stifle your creativity, which you clearly have plenty of.
I'm just amazed at how many amazing artists are on here, as well as creative ideas for nations. The NationStates community is definitely something else.

I have a design here that I want you to critique.
Higher quality.
It's still kinda simple. I was trying random designs, but this one I liked. I want you to review it and tell me if you like the general idea.
If you like the general design, I also want you to tell me what kind of design you want me to replace the outer red rectangle with, and what colors you want rather than red and gold, if you want different colors or designs.

You have no idea how much I like this flag! The cross looks very well placed too. Simple but elegant.
As for colours, I'm thinking some kind of blue for the backdrop and some white, and maybe some gold if you feel like. Feel free to play with the colours. You have a good artistic eye given how well you pulled off the red and gold combo.
As for the sides, maybe you could do some kind of "meander" around the edges where the rectangles are right now. That's a very Greek-y thing to do. L.o.l.

I was kind of having a bad day but you cheered me up considerably, La Paz de Los Ricos. Thanks for that.
P.S. Do you speak Spanish, by the way? Thinking about what your name means always cracks me up.

Hey thanks for the compliments! I'll take those ideas into consideration. I'm gonna experiment a bit with the gold and white parts of the flag, but I'll keep the blue as the background.
I'll try and do the meandering pattern for the outlining as well. Expect some designs to come within the next few hours. You can give feedback when they're up.
By the way, yes I do speak Spanish. I know "the peace of the rich" isn't exactly a name that makes that much sense, but I think it works.

I think "peace of the rich" does make sense in a humorous sort of way. I like it!
Definitely looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Sorry for the wait, though.(Image)
