It's a solid design that works. I wouldn't call it incredibly unique though, or something that stands out, the 3-colored cross flags are all very similar in design, since all you can really change about them are the colors, and the point where the bars intersect. I think this is a good concept for a flag, but I'd try to find some sort of motif or icon that could be placed on the design, to make it stand out. Something simple, but distinct, that can represent your nation. Whatever that may be is up to your imagination.

7/10. Solid design, pleasant to look at, but not very distinct.

9/10

Almost full marks imo. Nice looking simple design that's unique and uses pleasant colours. Love how the blue and red never directly meet, which shows me you have a good eye for vexillology.

One minor criticism is that the star at the bottom right will be easily lost and ignored when the flag is in use - I think it should join the party over to the hoist side or else quietly slip away down the street to the next one ;)

Awesome flag for what I'm assuming is a Polynesian-inspired nation. I'd maybe consider making the blue a bit darker so the stars pop out more but still nice flag I love it, 9/10

The flag symbol represents the Roman god Mars, not the male sex.

Really cool and unique design. I do think the heraldry in the center is a little... off-center? 8.5/10

5/10, I love the stripes' scheme and the colors aren't bad but the shield ruins the balance/composition. To be honest, I prefer your previous (shield-less) flag.

9.9, Your flag is amazing but I can't give a full 10/10 to a flag with the ripple effect which I think it would look better without.

Unique, identifiable, and a great sense of balance. The two-tone red and white palette is a wise choice and aids in visibility, along with the delineation of line and shape which adds to the compositional contrast of the flag. It's meaningful, bright, and able to be easily manufactured. 9/10

8/10 — Central star isn't quite centred correctly (it's a little low in the circle) and the dark red and black clash a little but it's simple and unique.

8.5/10 - It's a very sleek, elegant and clean design; not too loud but also not too basic. I like the usage of the canton as well.

the emblem area looks a bit clustered but the lines and borders balances it out, love the parts that peek out from the circle incl. the dove

The symbol and colors look really cool but the writing is terrible. That breaks one of the core rules of vexillology. If you took out the words this would be an easy 9/10.

The idea is nice, but the execution is not what the idea could be at its fullest potential. The ripple effect greatly diminishes the colours for example and makes the tree on the side appear a bit odd. Personally, I'd like the tree to be a little bit more detailed and prominent and perhaps stretch from top to bottom entirely. Maybe also the space between the branches and leaves could have a different colour so that it might draw attention to itself more. Just a few suggestions!

Overall, a 7/10 for now.

Generally, I like it, but I feel there is room for improvement. The flames could perhaps use a bit more detail & less symmetry, and the stars are kind of small. Personally I'm not a fan of the black flame & black background, but there could be extremely good & valid reasons for that color choice.

Overall, the layout is straightforward & classical. It works well.
