8/10 — Great colors (especially the purple). Sole criticisms are that the symbol is a little large and the thin purple and gold stripes.

Not sure:

If this composition has not been adopted by some African (RL) nation, it certainly could have been.

So 10/10 for realism.

On the other hand, it doesn't stand out to me (African flags rarely do).

So 2/10 for originality?

It is splendidly rendered though. Very professional job.
Would you dare to try a less conventional design? Even just less conventional colours can really make a flag stand out, when the composition is still very realistic.

I find this one hard to rate, especially because it's difficult not to see the swastika. I know, I know, it has a meaning in Hinduism that has nothing to do with what the nazis used it for, but people will link the swastika more swiftly to nazism than anything else. So, my careful advice would be to alter the symbol. The eye and the colours can stay, albeit I am not the biggest fan of the background colour and the yellow.

The concept is really cool in general, but the tone of the red is a bit severe. Maybe more of a maroon? Overall pretty good, 8/10.

The flag is nice, reminds me of the Russian Empire's flag. I don't like the white box, though.

As a corporate logo, this would be an amazing flag. The flag also definitely works as a very futuristic one, of a nation that exists in the 2200s or something. Yet it's not immediately a design that I'd categorise as a flag... but! I think in this particular case the design works. The colour contrast between the blue and black is amazing and the symbol in the middle is very nicely designed. I'm not too fond of the letters on the flag, but as I said before, as a futuristic flag it could work. So, you get a 8/10 from me! :)

8/10. Memorable and elegant design. I would move the stripe a bit further to the right.

I like the flag, it's a simple tricolour but it is a tried and tested design. The colours fit well together and the symbolism is quite apt. The only Issue I have with the current design is the ripple effect, as it doesn't do the current design justice, in my opinion. So, with the ripple effect you get an 8/10 from me, but without it you'd get a 8.5/10 :)

Simple and nice, white stands out very nicely. It works well as both a design and a flag. Not a big fan of the red though.. 7.5/10

5/10. Nothing wrong with the flag, but there's no originality.

The general design/layout of the flag is interesting and unique. It's quite futuristic, which I really like. However, the colours are - in my opinion - problematic. The yellow and white clash, and the orange hue doesn't help with creating a good contrast. My advice would be to change these colours, either by removing one of them or replacing one with a more contrasting colour. For example, changing the orange colour to black would do wonders to the colour composition in this flag, I believe.

So, to recap: design is a 9/10, really unique and original. The colours however are unfortunately chosen, so a 3/10 for that. Yet if you'd change the orange to black, or perhaps a darker shade of gray, then the entirety of the flag could jump up to 8/10 or 9/10 :)

I like it. The design isn’t too complex. The colors go well together and I like the slight hints of golf in between the red and black. 8/10.

7.5/10 for not having the typical rectangle flag design, and for originality

It works well as a flag. It's simple and it's an original spin on the usual tricolours. Personally, I am not a super big fan of the hues that have been chosen for the lighter colours, but that depends on personal preferences, I think. So, overall I'd rate your flag a 8/10!

I'd say your flag is a solid 7/10. I like the design, but the shape looks a little sort of bloated with the roundness of it, and the colors are a bit too similar for my taste. It is however, very simple and easily recognizable, so I'd say overall it's super good.
