These are some options for a flag for the United Front for the Liberation of India in my TL. The year is 1949 and the Indian subcontinent is rising up against the British. Please note that in the TL there were never Nazis so the swastika does not have the same negative connotations as OTL. Which do y'all prefer? Thanks.

3, 6, and 7 are the best. 6 is the best swastika one.

Very nice job all around.

i have a rough draft with that descritption, i was hoping you could make it digital.
i need it for my timeline idea.

You didn't specify what colour for the stars on the stripes, so I made two versions: one with opposite-coloured stars and one with blue stars.

Sorry for the double post, but the other post was freakishly engorged with images anyway.

I'm making a mod for Vicky2 based on an EU3 game, and I'd like suggestions for a flag. The nation in question is located in Canada and the northern US, was settled mainly by Frisian-ruled Netherlands and is a constitutional monarchy in the style of IRL Canada.

You can try editing this flag; it's based on the flag of Indianapolis. Perhaps you can replace the star with a maple leaf or a crown. The cross and circle indicates it being the center of trade between the east and west, the north and south.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but here's an excellent flag of Earth:

And here's one for a Martian revolt:

Nice Earth flag, but if your going to bother with moons, why not show any of the other planets moons?

What's Pluto doing on there? Everyone knows that Pluto isn't a planet.

I personally like #1, it gives the feel of a preexisting flag of India painted over with a black stripe and red swastika to represent the revolution or something. The colours red and black, and the placement of red on black seem more revolutiony if that makes sense. The swastika seems also to have been painted on amateurly like it would be in a revolution, instead of being professionally made. #1 and #7 are also the most aesthetically pleasing out of the lot.

I still like #4 the best.

Pluto is, was, and always shall be a planet, deep in my heart. *listens to I Vow to Thee My Pluto misty-eyed*

Well if Pluto is a planet, then you'd better be prepared to acknowledge the rest of the planets!

A dwarf star is still a star. I say the logic should follow.

Cool flags.

Because Jupiter has like 16 big moons and more than 50 smaller moons, I guess.

When people makes flags for the future Earth Coallition, they always use UN sky blue. I would like to see some other newer designs, more interesting than faded space versions of the UN.

Still, there's something cool about the whole Solar System thing. I'd make a flag for every independent colony and habitated planet under different regimes.

I get the feeling Mars should be a real Commie Union xD

***

But, seriously, if the Earth unites under a federation or a coallition of states, then the flag should represent this union, but in a rather innovative manner. Also, would this union be "the 5 biggest countries make a club and the rest follow"? Would it be "Chine Rules Alone"? Would it be a corporation-run Bilderberg-club Union, like in the Mars Triology...?

You should remove Pluto, or add the other dwarf planets.

Photoshop Elements 6 - perhaps not the best for this kind of thing, but it's what I'm used to.
