Though detail is lost due to the size in the forum, it is a beautiful flag which uses the rainbow very tastefully. 9.5/10

Beautiful mosaic, awful flag. Like, it looks great, but it'd suck on a flagpole. I wish I could rate it higher, but that nitpick reduces the score to 4/10

I might be misremembering, but I think your flag used to have the circle around the tree fade off, into more of a crescent. It was better like that. I also think the tree is too detailed, but it functions okay.

7/10. Just about okay. No way to improve really, since its so simple and adding more would clutter it up.

BN, this is not my flag. It is a historical Carolinian one used during the war - the Revolutionary war, not...the other one...

The flag does indeed very galactic thanks to the minimalism, and the text isn't nearly as bad as in other flags, but it does take away a bit.
Really cool, though, so 10/10 bc bonus execution of a hard idea points

First of all making it an elephant already makes it a 7/10 but the colors and theme it's giving me is just deserving of an 10/10

As a cutie little moth, it gets a 10/10!

Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to say that it's a lousy flag, going by metrics that make my own flag pretty lousy.

I'll give it a 5/10 because it is almost a good flag; a simplified design could do it wonders, basically, fewer, thicker lines. I've heard it said that a good flag is one a child could draw, but there's something to be said for uniqueness as well. I still think the moth is a good idea, adding a little bit of heraldry, something that represents a facet of your nation.



Part of the reason I'm posting here is that I just updated my own flag and am looking for input.

Your flag is certainly unique. I like the color scheme, which is somewhat evocative of an indigenous pacific culture (not sure why, just a feeling). But really doesn't work as a flag., the design is too intricate, and symbolism seems temporal.

Should the human figures be stylised, and balanced to the middle, and the colors toned down in hue, it would make for a good flag.

This flag isnt that charming unfortunatelly. Its shapes are generic, and words and flags dont go well with eachother.

3/10

8/10

While the overall design is too familiar, the arrangement of the star, lines etc make it stand out enough to be a unique variant. The arrangement of the star and white spaces looks aesthetically pleasing despite being unconventional. Overall, its a good looking flag.

Definitely a 9/10, a solid flag, simple, eye-catching. Personally I'd make the cross white and the sword blue, but that's just me.

Some of the symbols in the centre are a tad bit hard to see, and the yellow lines work well with the colour scheme, but are too thin. Otherwise, it's a decent flag. 7/10

The basic design itself is good, but yellow, federal stars would make it more impressive. 7/10

5/10, it's a simple Mosley-style flag but with a slightly Nordic twist, I like it.

Very good symbolism. The wolf could be stylized a bit, and contrasted more :)

If you removed ripple it would actually be very nice. Purple is underused, flower imagery is awesome, the wreath and stars make it all a bit cluttered in the end though. Lighten the purple maybe.

7/10

Well, we have a nice background flag indeed. The only thing that bothered me was definitely the size of the Celtic cross in the center. I mean, nothing against the celtic cross, but the size of it is just too much, ends up making everything very polluted.

For now, I give you a 6,5/10


(I know my flag has the same model as Barbados, no need to mention that. In the real world numerous flags are identical with just another color scheme, this is completely normal.)
Merulla is the land of the brave, the fair and of the heroes.

A great kingdom consisting of fifteen federative like states, with a decentralized power, where the real king is the Merullean people.

Come and discover Merulla, where the waves are born.

The light gray trident on the white is hard to see, and the wavy flag choice is never a good choice. Not to mention that the flag looks like a Barbados ripoff. 5/10.
