While it has a cool effect, the switching of the colors of the crosses make it a bit...confusing. Maybe if you kept the red and the white of the British flag, but replaced the blue background with the French tricolor, that would work.Flag of a Franco-British Union:

I had originally tried that, however it just looked too British. I feel that this is a nice blend, as it appears equally British and French. I don't think it's too confusing, and it's far from the most complicated one out there...

While that flag is cool, it gave me a Polygon episodeAlternative Flag of England (cause the current one is awful, IMHO):

This is kind of a cool idea, but there are inherent problems with combining the union jack with the French tricolor. The Union Jack is both religious and monarchist in its symbolism, while the Tricolour is secular and republican. This is a compromise that would make everybody angry. Is this union a republican or monarchist state?

I think the Canton by itself would make a cool flag.

Me too
that's another problem with it. A flag should be something that instantly strikes one with a sense of symbolism, history, patriotism, and badassery. This is something that immediately confuses the viewer, and only after looking at it for a little while does one actually see what it's trying to go for.
Flag of a Nordic UK, based on a conversation from the Things that Look like Alternate History but Aren't thread:
Nordic UK as in Britain colonized by Nordics or a United Kingdom of Scandinavia thing?
The current flag of Nordholm, my town in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
While its flag is always a Nordic Corss, the colors change based on the season, the below is the Summer Flag;
Note that the colors don't match 100% as I was making it by eye and thus can't get the colors exactly the same.

I could, though I'd have to get my Animal Crossing: City Folk out (it's the one that came out before this one), since I've not actually re-created the designs on ACNL and I'm actually torn between Fall flags, that is I have two Halloween versions and have an idea for a normal Fall one as well.
So, is this a Slavic kingdom in Avaria or a heavily Slavic-ised Magyar kingdom in Anatolia?
Nice flag, and nice concept, that of Stephan as a title.
Sorry if it was unclear. It's basically a Slavic Hungary - the fewer Magyars get absorbed into the increasingly Slavic Avaria. A Pannonian Bulgaria if you will.
Thanks. Looking at Balkan history I'm rather surprised it didn't catch on. Most of the Kings - especially the Serbians - used Stephan as a royal additional name on being crowned.
So I always use it for ATLs in the region.
As a bonus it also replaces the OTL words derived from the name of Carolus Magnus

Charlemagne becomes a royal title? Makes sense. I once made up an alt-Late Roman world when the Senators/Clarissimi were substituted by the bureaucratic chaste of the Flavii (since Flavius had become some sort of obliged name for new citizens, bureaucrats and new patricians) and the "noble" class of the Aurelii (another name that caught on). They fight over the Empire until the Sassanids take over Constantinople. Flavius becomes synonym of Caesar.
