It is blue, black, and white.
The yin-yang and stripes are both black and white.

While it obviously copies the UN flag, I think that the stars and the central device has some other meaning to it, perhaps the galaxy or something like that.

Well, my post was skipped back then. Does that mean its still me?

Rather long ago to complain about being skipped, I gather...

But if it makes you happy: I think your flag is somewhat underwhelming. Nothing particularly distinctive about the composition or the colours. Just a safe, regular, design.

5/10

Thanks. My first post finally got recognized.

Your flag would've looked way better if there was nothing in the top. The Yellow and the Black is great. 5/10

Ehh, to be honest it’s about a 5/10. There’s too many clashing color choices and the flag seems rather generic while also somewhat eccentric.

The colors are pretty basic, but they get the job done. The central crest looks great as well, but might appear a bit too cluttered. Overall the flag is a 6/10 for me.

Good tiger - nice emblem.

Recommendations:

Make the tiger juuust a little bit bigger.
Make the yellow band juust a little more contrasting with the colour of the tiger
You don´t need the drape effect.

As is: 7/10

This just is too detailed for me, make it more simple and it would be a 9 or 10. As it is, 5.5/10.

It's simplistic, so it works quite well. It expresses the Estonian image the nation is going for with the use of the colors, and manages to use as little as possible while remaining distinctive. That said, the yin-yang symbol is a bit odd of a choice as its more of an Eastern culture symbol and therefore feels a little out of place with Estonia. Furthermore, the stripes sort of seem to be on the wrong end as it would look sort of odd on a flagpole to have the vertical stripes on the left rather than the right. So with all that said, we'll go 7/10.

I have never seen the image in a flag move so unless it is carried on screens or is like the paintings in harry potter it lacks something on the realism front but the roman numerals and soldiers design are pretty cool 7/10

The bull looks cool and I like the colors. If it was only that I would give it a 7/10. But unfortunately the flag is a gif making it a nightmare to fly or to draw if you need it for a non digital purpose. Because of that the flag is a 2/10

Since the above is forever ninja'd I'll do both ANs.

Drakonaris: The flag looks cool and fits with what I assume is the dragon theme of the nation itself. The darkness of the flag and general feel of it (you know, the things you can't really describe in words) give you that energy I assume the nation has. 9/10.

Congdao: The nice soft green color combined with the flower gives you a nice soothing feel and the flag is very simplistic making it easy to remember and draw. 8/10

Evaluation:
  • (Analysis) - Complicated. There are too many colors, and the artwork is too intricate for a practical flag. A flag is supposed to fulfill three goals: simplicity, legibility, and symbolism. This flag does none of that. While up close, it's easy to tell (Pokemon artwork); however, everything is a mess after that.
  • (Verdict) - 2 / 10

I believe it is a very good flag. I like the colors and the symbolism is clear and obviously stands for something. I don’t have any real suggestion for improvements. Maybe put a few less cogs of the gear to make it less cluttered or make the seal smaller?

A good looking flag since it is difficult to go wrong with blue and white. The crest in the middle looks good as well, but I'll say it's a bit cluttered so that brings it down a bit for me. Overall a pretty basic, simple and clear flag so a solid 7/10 from me.

7/10

The balance of the cat motif in relation to the green part of the split middle band is interesting. I would switch the direction of the cat, though. Generally, animals on flags should face towards the hoist (pole side), or else they give an impression of running away.

The black, yellow, and white bands in relation to the bright green one is an intriguing effect. I don't think I've ever seen that particular color combination before. But also it is a little clashing and could use an adjustment of the specific shades and hues of the colors to achieve greater visual harmony and a more cloth-like look.

The design is growing on me the more I look at it though. Great work. 8)

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback Trivega. Your flag is awesome btw. I actually really don't mind the use of two different blues, because blue is such an expansive color with so many definitions, and the ones you've used work very nicely together. ❤

The flag's basic design is pretty cool, but to be perfectly honest, the color scheme isn't really doing it any favors.
The main colors and the symbol in the center are fine on their own, but put together, they cause a massive color clash between the purples of the flag and the yellow/gold of the symbol.
Plus, the total number of colors is quite high, with black, blue, pink, yellow, green, grey, red, even a little white on the grains.
Notably, the flag does look pretty good under a greyscale filter, so it's just the colors.

I like the flag. It is simple but probably still very representative as it looks like a flag of a Pacific oceanian island country. Colors work together quite well too. I think improvements would mean adding more details to the flag like for example some kind of wave pattern to the sea or something to the sky. 8/10

9/10.
It's symbol is unique and distinctive, it's colors work quite well with one another, and I am personally quite fond of oddly-shaped flags.
Only complaint is that the symbol is off center in the white box.
