Constructively rate the above nation's flag (8)

[SkalVinos]

It... looks like a Dutch-occupied Australia. That's what my brain is telling me.

Anyway, to rate the stuff. Nice design (love that style), memorable colors, easy to draw, and has a good symbolism behind it. I don't see anything that needs improvement, perhaps aside from the Southern Cross—but if you can't find any other design that would suffice in the constellation's absence, well, I understand. Four out of five.

The Vinoan Banner was tailored by none other than the nation's founder, Tyverias Sol Paroketh. She made it in the image of what she wished the ecumenopolis to be. The red represented might and the wisdom to use it well. Blue represented joy and loving kindness, the counterpart of judgemental strength. Yellow stands in the middle, representing the prosperity of Skal Vinos as a result of the beautiful concordance between these two concepts. Later philosophers also added more meanings to this colorful trinity: red symbolizes pride in knowledge well-earned, blue that of humility inherent in accumulated wisdom, and yellow is the magnificent balance of the two. The way the two opposing colors of the light are both placed above and below represent how the personality symbolized by one color would be imbalanced (therefore, ugly and corrupted) without the other.

The focus in sixes inherent within the national crest stood for the upcoming Visdym Sho'el, a council made up of six individuals: the four lords of the cardinal Colleges and archipelagos, the genius loci of the world Skal Vinos resides in, and Tyverias Sol herself. Likewise, the way the flag is divided into four parts is thought to represent the four archipelagos that make up Skal Vinos, and some would later add the inclusion of the hexagon as a representative of the Zotiki'Skal atoll (although there is no evidence of the latter ever being an official consideration).

Many tried to make their own attempts at a new national flag, especially when Tyverias Sol announced a nation-wide flag contest, but no one accepted these entries as any better than the first; and thus the flag remained like so throughout the years.

Base: A combination of the naval ensign of Denmark and Sci-Fi: League of Seven Suns Flag by Leovinas on DeviantArt. Made it myself in Paint 3D, although the crest is Almonaster's handiwork.

The colors match well, the flower in the center of the cross looks great, the style of the flag is unique and amazing.

Overall a 10/10 flag

[Aenglide]

The colours and the design, along with the star are arranged in such a nice and tidy and makes the flag look awesome. 10/10

I think I had the wrong page or post so...

The colour scheme is off, and the ripple effect is annoying to look at but the design of the flag is okay. 4/10.

[Feudalist America]

Very simple design. Seems to be a Scandinavian country, maybe also environmentalist? Anyways, very simple design, and conveys meaning well. 9/10

[Plisseau]

It's....actually pretty good. Not what I expected from a country called "Feudalist America".

Colors blend well, it's not an eyesore, and it's divided up well. 9/10.

[Sky Point]

7/10. Colors mesh well together but the symbol is overused in other flags.

[Guama]

1/10 — The colors clash, the design is unclear, and the bird just doesn't seem to fit and isn't distinct enough. That said, it is very original so a redeeming feature.

[Colligny]

9/10. Well made, memorable, Good idea. Only issue is a bit of overuse, but that's Really minor.

[Rivogna]

6/10; the flag does its job well and fits your lore perfectly, but it does not seem cohesive enough. The stripes on the right feel out of place, but that might be just me. I would suggest using more blue and red instead of white; your flag may benefit from more color.

[Carena]

10/10, clean & striking design that is uncomplicated yet elegant

[Vashty]

I would make the star/logo bigger so there is less blue. Quite good 7/10

[The H Corporation]

It's clean, the design of the star blends well and the colors don't clash. It is a clear 9/10

[Rivogna]

5/10; it is slightly too intricate in my taste; the eagle inside the star does not contrast well either. The color choice is good, though. The flag itself has untapped potential. If you could simplify the flag a bit, I am sure you can make it work.

[Feudalist America]

I'd rate it 7/10. The flag looks nice but looks more like a picture someone drew in school than a proper flag. It would fit more as a state flag or something of the like, but as a national flag I find it quite lacking. Still, I applaud the simplicity and the color scheme. Just needs to be spiced up a bit.

[Spiritual Republic of Caryton]

There seems to be a tiny bit of a contrast issue between the red and the blue. I'd suggest slightly brightening up the red to make it more distinct. I personally like my stripes broader on a flag, but that's just me. As for the design itself, the red in the logo does not match the red in the canton, which slightly bothers me. I'd also make the outline of the holy grail/symbol white or even blue to match the flag and get rid of the blurry grey.

All in all, 7/10. It's certainly not what I'm used to flag-wise but it works.

[Nysha]

It is suprisingly intreaguing.

It's like the Cypriotic flag, but with a dog (the national animal? An important myth from the country?) instead of the island contours.

Not too detailed, full of reference.

My only concern is that it has novelty value rather than symbolism. "Look at me being original" rather than "This is us!"

Would it be an idea to make the dog a little more heraldic, for instance by using a less domesticated race, or by presenting the animal in a heraldic pose?

8/10

[The H Corporation]

The colors blend well but the zig-zags plus the circles on top does not look great and ruin the aesthetic of the flag, maybe instead of the zig-zags use vertical lines and find a better placement for the circles

6/10

[Khayamala]

6/10 the gold should be slightly darker (from a distance it merges with the white), the ripple is bad as always and it's a little too complicated for my taste

[Scneira]

8.5/10 Distinct design that serves the nation well. The bear is a little bit small, and the feet don't quite plant on the ground solidly, but those are my only criticisms.

[Imperial Rifta]

First of all, great flag. The colors blend well, the border works, the design is simple enough. The only thing I can find that I dislike is the star in the bottom right. It has purpose, but I feel like it sticks out too much.

7/10

[Pirusavia]

Love the simplistic color use and the imperial theme, but the circles seems to ruin the uniqueness of the flag. It is also somewhat very easy to be mistaken from other flag from a distance. My suggestion would be to remove the circles and enlarge the eagle. 6.8/10

[The H Corporation]

I will give you an 8 because the style is not original but the colors are and they blend well

[Meebritolia]

3/10, colors dont work well together, too many designs, is just bad looking in general. redo the flag entirely

[Cokoland]

I actually kinda like this one. It has a simplistic design and a pretty alright color combination. Over all I'd give this one a solid 6/10, not bad, not great, just ok.

[Task Force Iota]

It's a bizarre take on a Nordic cross. Certainly unique, although I'll have to strain my eyes if I want to focus on the colored lines. Easy to draw and memorize, given it's just two pairs of parallel lines intersecting each other, and its simple Nordic-yet-not design also adds into its memorability.

Four out five.
