of course this could still be too light. Its really up to you!

Perhaps F6B721 might work. The sun potentially could be replaced with this one depending on what looks better.

Neither the design of the sun nor the particular shade of gold is the main problem. Gold on white is generally a really bad idea. If you really must have that, then the standard heraldic solution is fimbriation - a contrasting outline to separate the colours.

I like the design of my flag in a horizontal tricolour; starting from the top is a Chartreuse (7FFF00), the middle coloured LimeGreen (32CD32), and the bottom a ForestGreen (228B22)

Design like the flag of Ethiopia, take this circle and place it in the centre of the flag. Excluding the black outline, colour the circle in SpringGreen (00FF7F). Take this tree from Shutterstock and colour the bark and branches of this tree in Wood (3F301D) and the leaves ForestGreen (228B22)

I need a flag that's an amalgamation of the South African, Botswanan and Namibian flags - as my nation is a union of these three countries - and I was wondering if you guys can help?

It's quite hard to get a perfect mix, as they all share the same stripe motif just in different colours. Personally I prefer the LightDarkBlue one

Amazing works as usual Almo and Brussel.

Ahh, okay. Thank you.

It seems like you've already gotten a flag (edit: or three) that looks like a combination of the three, but I figured I'd try my hand at it anyway.


Hope you like.

Lovey. Nice trees. For my taste #2 and #4, although I'd suggest a 1/4 rather than a 1/3 base for #4.

Also, thank you N7eternia. I think we have a pretty strong team at the moment. I enjoy seeing how others tackle the requests.

Thanks! I understand the difficulties of making such a flag, but you've done a great job! I think I'll go with the LightDarkBlue, because something about it's aesthetic appeals to me.

Salutations and sorry for the bother,

I’d like to request a flag based on a design I drew here. It’s based off Roman aesthetics and the design of a previous flag of mine.

I’d like it to include a gladius, an eagle and the laurel wreath found here. I’d like the detailing kept unless it’s impossible, and the combined symbol as a whole centred in the free space and made a reasonable size.

If you’re willing, could you try out the colours listed here and get back to me on what works best for an archaic Anglo empire trying to emulate Rome? If one clicks on the "Raw" at the bottom the colour hexes would be visible. Otherwise design #1 would do just fine.

Thanks.

How's this?


If you'd like, I can flip the colors or do different color combinations, but I think this one looks the best.

I love it, though if you’re willing I’d like to see white (#FFFFFF) on red (#9B1C31) with the bar being white, field being red and the eagle, sword and wreath white. Other than that, it’s perfect.

Yep! That sound be all, I think. Thank you, Sylvai!

Slaabovia wrote:Here's the original request for the aforementioned flags, I believe:

The nations of Ethardius, Helvarta, and Zeelaca need flags, please, as soon as possible.

Ethardius needs a flag with the following details for it:

The flag is a rectangle with a solid azure background that has two overlapping and/or interlocking crosses similar to the UK's St. Andrew and St. George red crosses with one in a sandy color and one in a medium green, with the second cross mostly dominating the other one, in the top left quarter of the flag. The emblem is a singing coyote under a constellation of eleven white-trimmed medium purple stars, as well.

Helvarta needs a flag with the following details to it:

The flag is a rectangle with three vertical stripes of umber, white and blue-green, with a decently-sized hound's head primarily in gold, silver, and bronze on the central white stripe facing towards the blue-green stripe.

Zeelaca needs a flag with the following details for it:

The flag is a rectangle with five equally-sized horizontal stripes of alternating bright green and dark blue-violet. The emblem is a mostly brownish-black hawk with two swords clutched in its talons, crossed, on an NHL-style shield in the center of the flag.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide these flags to me as soon as possible. Please telegram me when done, for possible further comments or questions. IF you have any questions while working on these flags, please also let me know. Thanks. Slaabovia out.

@-@-@-@->>>>

See, one requested version for each mentioned nation above. Slaabovia out.

Still waiting for this. Anyone able to make any progress on it of late? Just wondering, that's all. Slaabovia out.

Could someone make me a generic east-asian flag?

Thanks in advance!

I am currently working on your request. However, I am unclear on how you want the emblems and where you want them. If you could send me an example for some of them. For the eleven star constellation did you want Centaurus? Also how do you want the gold, silver, and bronze on the hound head? And what color is the shield for the last one?

East Asia is pretty diverse in ideology and therefore flag design, could you be more specific? I wouldn't want to give you a Communist China/Vietnam-style flag if you'd prefer more of a Japan/South Korea one

Well my nation is a republic and culturally its a mixture of S. Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan so yeah don't really want to go the communist route. Something 'mon' inspired.

How's this? I looked up Mon architecture and got the idea to use a torii gate paired with the Taiwanese emblem. I realize now that it has a little bit of a religious/spiritual connotation, but it could just be a reflection of culture. Did the best that I could with lack of specifics.


the gate is a bit blurry but it shouldn't be obvious on your profile

Meant 'mon' more like the emblem but turned this turned out great! Thanks!

No problem! Sorry about the confusion there.

No, the starry constellation in question for Ethardius's flag should be a half-circle arc with between five and eight points for each star, at most. And the mostly brownish-black and medium gray coyote should be at the bottom right corner of the flag, with the stars above its head, and it apparently looking at the star closest to the canton in the top left.

The Helvartan Hound's head should be mostly silver, but also have mostly bronze and gold patch-like spots or patterns or edging for it, where possible and appropriate, so that the silver doesn't get mixed in with the white for it. Remember, the hound's head must be on the center vertical stripe, and facing towards the third stripe for the flag, not the first stripe.

As for the needed shield related to the Zeelacan flag with the hawk on it holding the swords, it should ideally have a reddish-orange border, the background of the shield should be a medium blue, and the Southeast Asian-looking swords should primarily be a moderately dark gray with medium gold hilts. The shield with the hawk on it should look sort of like the NHL shield prior to it changing in color from orange and black to silver and black circa 2005, with no interior lining to the shield between the shield's border and the background if you don't think it absolutely necessary to be present for the shield in question.

Hope this is enough information for you here to work with. if you have any more questions, please feel free to telegram me, if you like.

We would prefer at least one rendition of the requested flag for each nation listed above to be 960 by 640 pixels in size, with transparency present, if possible, and at least one rendition for each mentioned flag to be proportionally smaller, and no smaller than 70 by 40 or thereabouts. Thank you for your time and all. Slaabovia out.
