whelp, here are the next 3: Argentina, Armenia and Australia. hope ya like!
Argentina:
colors: blue: 153-217-234 yellow: 255-242-0
symbolism: as in the OTL flag of argentina, there is no real symbolism to the colors so...lets move on
changes: i took out the Sun of May and replaced it with a yellow circle, because it looks to complicated and as a common rule for flag design: your flag should be easy to recreate and replicate. and another flag design rule i go by is: if your flag can not be drawn by a 5th grader in a couple of minutes, its a bad flag...i'm looking at you 20 out of 50 of the us state flags!!! i'm coming after you next!!
also this re-design was
semi created by @aldonius , thanks man/ma'm!
Armenia:
colors: red: 213-0-0 blue: 0-0-160 orange: 242-121-0
symbolism: the red represents the highland, survival, Christianity, independence and freedom. the blue stands for the will of the people to live under peaceful skies (basically peace) and the orange stands for the creative talent/hard working nature of the people. (also some people will say the red also stands for the people killed in the Armenian genocide and the orange represents apricots the national fruit).
changes: the current Armenian flag looks pretty freaking awesome and i was hesitant to change it, and for a while i was going to post a shortened version of the flag and change it from the current 1:2 ratio to 2:3 but i think this is better and has a more "western" look due to the vertical stripes (sorry horizontal stripes look more eastern European to me) and ATL for this flag might be the Armenians wanted to westernize after their independence from the soviet union...i guess?
Australia:
colors: blue: 0-0-128
symbolism: the blue represents the night sky and relations with the British, and the stars represent the southern cross and the stars them selves represent their British history under the Commonwealth star and the six provinces and the 1 territory.
changes: i first and foremost got rid of the union jack in the corner, and it looked pretty good but i wanted to make it better, then i go rid of the commonwealth star that is under the OTL union jack, and centered the southern cross and it looks very good to me.
quick note: this was inspired by a reddit submission
