Competition: make an ex-nation flag!

[HC Eredivisie]

You have to read the entire thread; that one is no-go because it's "ex-nation" and the Aboriginal flag. Seeing how Aboriginals were once at risk to become an ex-people, this offends some peoples' sensibilities.

Drop the white circle and make it read: 'Former Nation', or, keeping in line with the region pages, 'Ceased to excist'.

Hmm, yes.. the "Ex-nation" might give some the idea to put an "S" in from of it. Perhaps better to use "ceased to excist" or something like that.

[HC Eredivisie]

Don't give them ideas.

[Scolopendra]

In terms of the competition, I'm seeing a lot of "I like this" and "it should be like this" but not so many "here is my idea" posts.

[Haken Rider]

Let me compensate that.

Hey, don't look at me, I gave two ideas already (the plain black one, and a sunset version of the default flag).

[Pure Thought]

How about this, a simple flag with NS colours.

Or what about this, but with Skallvia's idea superimposed over it?

[HC Eredivisie]

That looks too much like an active nation.

[The Blaatschapen]

I like this one

[Mt Id]

How about:

[Somewhereistonia]

That looks too much like an active nation.

Anyone else get the feeling that we're going in circles?

My humble submissions - from the gravestone we use in our region's graveyard.

For those who simply CTE for whatever reason and we hope to see again in Lazarus some day, a simple respectful tribute:

..or if you prefere a less funereal take, with a background sunset (or hopeful sunrise?) added:

.. and for those whose fun here was considered trying to spoil the fun and whose conduct required the action of a mod, something a bit more colorful and perhaps instructive:

.. and with sunset:

[The Blaatschapen]

Actually, the "sunset" reminds me more of the glow of the fires of HELL!

Or maybe I'm just imagining too much?

So, d'ya think it's because of a timehole, future echoes, a temporal causality loop caused by an impact between us and USS Bozeman, or a red matter black hole?

I don't know, sounds more like we've been put into a register and are just being loop-shifted to me.

red matter black hole

Nah, sounds to me like someone got their mind blown from watching, the very awesome reincarnation of Star Trek over the weekend.

Clearly its a temporal causality loop.

Also; I can't think of any 'new' ideas that look any good so I'm going to stick with the random variations of my original design.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Because I can, and I was reminded of an old joke amongst some of us ... any saying will do.

[Erastide]

I like this saying just on its own.

[Valipac]

Since it appears that the favorite is by far Commerce Height's proposal which has been ruled out, here are 2 simple variations on his flag.


fade to white


fade to light gray

I like the second one better myself. It shouldn't be offensive,is simple, and blends in. Thoughts?

[Klaus Devestatorie]

just grey-out the nations flag.

[Scolopendra]

red matter black hole

I busted my pants like the Incredible Hulk. It was like a monster truck I could pour into my face. It made me invent bear-blasting because I became too energetic for normal sports.

just grey-out the nations flag.

Too technically difficult for the time being.

And just in general to people responding: RTFT!

[Jandypolis]

What about making it another size than a normal flag? I know the idea isn't new, someone already referred to [violet]'s avatar.

How about a square 107x107? So no-one could take it as his/her flag because it would be too big height-wise, it would still look like a flag, since there are real nations with square flags and nobody would complain because there is no nation with a square flag and only one color.

Maybe like this (I know it's horrible, since I just have mspaint here):

[Errinundera]

A variation of some earlier suggestions:

Personally I think the only proper response Hollywood could give the makers of Star Trek is a warm Oscar reception, and to Simon Pegg, a fucking Best Supporting Actor award!
