I think it is quite artful with the animal (no idea what it is) and the horses, and the choices of the colors is ok.

However dozens of flags use crosses and trying to draw these animals by hand is a nightmare.


For reference, the other animal is a lion, in the style of English heraldry.

7/10 because color fits with each other and emblem on the middle is a good touch but tri-color is a bit overused for my liking which really weights the grade down for me

Not a big fan of the pink and the black line but i do think the flag does a great job of quickly showing you what the nation’s ideology is. 6/10

It's quite great, actually. Though I can't remember the Family crest used in the flag off the top of my head, the flag itself follows most flag design rules, is visually pleasing, and adheres to rule of tincture.

Just a nice one. 10/10, honestly. Simplicity can be great too, guys.

Not a massive fan of some of the design elements personally, the square shape as opposed to rectangular, the sort of generic use of EU colors and the UN wreath, as well as a somewhat out of place Iron Cross-looking thing (I can read the sig, not actually) given the nation's actual lore... eh. It's weird, since nothing actually looks bad, just conversely nothing really stands out to me as particularly good either.

5/10, right in the middle.

Yeah, this works pretty well. There may be text on the flag, but it's given breathing room between the emblem and the blue band on the bottom which makes the design look more balanced and attractive. Emblem totally fits, and color combination of blue and white works relatively well since San Andreas is relatively close to the Pacific soooo since I only have one minor complaint which is bludgeoned by so many other compliments 9.5/10

Well, talk about original, simple and memorable designs! Although I’ve seen plenty of red-and-white stripes on this site, this one is able to stand out, portray an easily understandable meaning and not be an overly complicated mess of vector images! Easily lands an 9/10, splendid work!

Putting personal thoughts aside, I enjoyed your old rising sun-esque flag better. I like the yellow symbol you have though, but I'm not a giant fan of the inclusion of the icelandic flag. 4 or 5/10.

While the maroon colour of the flag is quite nice, it's quite hard to see the central emblem of the flag and seems it would be difficult to replicate or interpret if the flag were to fly in the wind. The use of the wave effect in the flag further justifies this. However, quite unique. 5/10

I do like the red and white color scheme and the diamond shape isnt too common, so points for that. However, and I'm aware of the hypocrisy, but the weird N on the flag sort of seems out of place. As for the eagle, I'm not a fan because it looks like the same one I see all the time from flag maker websites, so it looks kinda amateurish.

I'l say 5/10.

7/10. I like the unique color used to differentiate the more demsoc leftist the nation uses, and the symbol in the middle is nice. Only problem is recognizability from a distance.

Unfortunately, I dont really like it. Not because its bad or anything, but because well... it's not really a flag. It's an image of a forest and mountains with a ripple effect. It violates pretty much every flag design rule in the book this way and just doesnt look like a flag. I get why you chose it though

2/10.
