Improved Russian Civil War-era Khazar flag. The four quarters represent the four directions in Turkic culture, with the Stars of David representing Judaism, symbolising that Jews everywhere are united by their mutual religion and culture and Khazar solidarity with other Jewish groups.

White Cross over blue for Greeks, white crescent on a red field for Turks, red and blue along with the white cross for the Slavs while the stars represent the peoples living in the Federation. the current ten stand for the Turks, the Greeks, the Kurdish, the Bulgarians, the Serbians, the Bosnians, the Croatians, the Albanians and the Arabs.

These flags all pertain to the various nations in this world:

The Republic of Hefenfelth.

I'll make some more for the Kloof, New Nihon and the Bank of Vernon at a later date.
 
workingmen's federation of america.png


The flag of the Workingmen's Federation of America (name pending), the product of a successfully secessionist North that soon turned from the abolition of chattel slavery to that of wage, prison, and debt slavery as well. It's from a timeline I'm working on with @kissatytto which among other things involves a lasting State of Muskogee.

The nine stripes are for the nine out of thirteen original colonies that seceded (Delaware, which ended up annexing its entire peninsula, and everything north); the red is for the blood spilled in the Wars for Independence, and by slaves and wage laborers alike before the (relatively peaceful) Second Revolution; the white is for the hope of a peaceful present and future; the blue is for harmonious coexistence of all races, religions, and professions; and the arm-and-hammer is of course an old socialist symbol, representing the labor upon which the nation relies to function.

The Shachlelou

View attachment 389876

The Shachlelou, roughly the Bereft or Forsaken Ones, are an ethnoreligious group in western Aegyptos. They are predominantly endogamous and conversion to their faith does not bring full inclusion into the tribe as inclusion is only via maternal lineage. However converts, known as Accepted, are able to marry and sire full Shachlelou children. Full Shachlelou are tattooed on their foreheads when the come of age with the symbol of the Divine Eye or Sight of God.
The Shachlelou are Abrahamistic and believe themselves to be descendant of God's Chosen People who have been physically abandoned by God until proven worthy under Their Sight. A study of their known beliefs - several cannot be revealed to non Shachlelou - show a link or similarity to Cnaite and other PreSalvationist Mesopotamian faiths such as specific food laws and a sabbath.

The flag representing the Shachlelou features the Eye in red & black on a field of gold.
Comments etc welcome as ever.

A few flags I made for Kaiserreich's Combined Syndicates of America (as of Progress Report 56):

CSA, now with 250% more liquefied nationalism--thirteen stripes for the "Old Revolution," Old Glory's color scheme, and a Betsy Ross-style circle of stars. To balance it out, I added the gear, torch, sheave of wheat, and sickle blade, traditional symbols of syndicalism and socialism. The gear and circle of stars has one tooth/star for each original seceding state: New York City, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, West Virginia, and Minnesota.

The previous flag, but with a red and black color scheme so it looks a bit more Syndicalist. Admittedly, it now looks like the syndicalist answer to the Galactic Empire.

A more simple (read: bland and boring) variant of the CSA flag. It sticks to what works: the red and black field bordered by white, a gear, the IWW half-globe, and a red star. The gear was reused from the previous flags, and thus has the same symbolism. I wasn't keen on using the Hammer and Torch because I felt like it's been used to the point of exhaustion in a lot of alternate KR flags.

Feedback is appreciated, especially for the first two; I was worried the center of those flags have too many devices and feels cluttered.

The first and third flags look really good, but I do agree with your worries as at full flag scales the central device (wheat sheaf-torch-sickle) fades into unintelligibility. Maybe focus on one of those and see if it works better.
A trick that I use to check it is to make the image a several centimetres high and then stand at the other end of the room, as that can give a better idea of what it would look like than when you're working at a desk.

I used the flag waving simulator to check if the device works out. Far as I can see it works well enough, but I'm biased about it and all.

I think the issue here is that the wheat sheaf-torch-sickle thing is too small in relation to the rest of the flag. Push comes to shove, I can always remove the circle of stars and have the device fill up the now-empty space--though I'd be really bummed out since I spent like three hours getting the pattern to work on Inkscape lol

In any case, I did the necessary corrections and Flag 1 looks like this now:

I was thinking of relocating the stars to the gaps between the gear's teeth, though I'm concerned that will clutter the center just as much as the original did.
 
Flag 1 looks like this now:
You're right about the size of the wheat sheaf-torch-sickle device; I think that this looks better than the previous one.

It's often the case that you'll have to kill things you've been working on for hours. I've no idea how many hours I've spent working on flags/maps before realising that something just isn't working and trying different things. Also, are you talking about the circle of stars or the central device as a whole when you mentioned how long you'd spent working at it?

I think you should at least see what it looks like to have the stars between the gear teeth. If you do, maybe try enlarging the outer white border around the gear, so that there's a bit more room for the stars and they aren't as small as might be worried about.

The circle of stars strictly--tracing and resizing the central device took less than thirty minutes.

Inkscape has a lot of recondite features that ruin your day if you don't pay attention to them :p

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the input!



One last submission for the day before I get back to making the rest of the set:

olZbIeY.png


This is my redesign of William Dudley Pelley's Silver Legion flag. In Kaiserreich, the American Union State can get him as a leader in a coup d'etat against Huey Long by the end of the Civil War. I was dissatisfied with the OTL flag, since it was more-or-less just a silver field with a red L on the canton.

This new-and-improved version (debatable, of course) features a crucifix-sword merged with the Legion's L, with a crown on top of the hilt. On top of the crown, in turn, are nine stars, one for each of the nine original states of the AUS: South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and North Texas.

I have to admit, the flag was... influenced heavily by the symbols of certain white supremacist groups active in the US. I felt it would be appropriate to integrate some of them onto this flag's design, with Pelley being a white supremacist himself and all. As a disclaimer, I do not condone their actions, nor do I share their opinions and beliefs--my interest in their symbols lay purely for the purposes of creating this flag alone.

That aside, I noticed most fascist movements have simplistic flags. Codreanu's Iron Guard flag, for example, only has a black pound sign on a green field, sometimes with a white cross behind the pound. Similarly, Mosley's British Union of Fascists flag only has a roundel with a thunderbolt on the center of a red field. Is the crown and stars too much for the Silver Legion flag, given its contemporaries?

Yeah, it would certainly benefit from a decent read-me.

Thanks for the input!
Happy to help.

I think this works well as a flag. In the case of the typical fascist armband, I don't think this works well.
I suspect most fascist groups favoured simple designs because they worked well on an armband, probably based on the armlets used in military uniforms.
