How's this? (Old oversized posts have been deleted so as to not clog up the thread)

All right, here are some of my first air force roundels. All of them are for my timeline, the Great Stalemate, where World War One ends as a stalemate between the Allies and Central Powers. The links in my sig.

Heres the roundel for the German puppet Kingdom of Ukraine, adopted around 1940. I used the OTL roundel for East Germany as a template.

Also from the Great Stalemate, as are all the other roundels I'll be posted for now. Heres the German puppet Kingdom of Belarus. The roundel was adopted in 1929.

Not a German puppet state, but still from the Great Stalemate.

After the Treaty of Amsterdam was singed in 1920, the Kingdom of Austria was established with the former Hapsburg Emperor Karl I as King of Austria. Germany came to their former allies assistance at the Peace Conference by allowing their royal family to remain in power in their now weakened homeland, after a deal to unify Austria with Germany fell through. The new Kingdom of Austria consisted of Austria proper as well as the German Sudetenland, the rest of the Hapsburg Empire lost in 1918. As per the Treaty, the Kingdom of Austria was made a neutral nation, left with a very small army and its defense managed by the German Empire.

What with the referendum on independence coming next year, this seems appropriate.

Thanks to Petike for pointing me in the right direction.

I'm doing some work on a scenario which has a Central Powers-sponsored Ukraine becoming independent as a result of the Great War. I'm having difficulty on selecting the initial roundel, and so I thought I'd ask your opinions. Bear in mind that this is for early planes, probably up to the 30s. Ukraine's neighbors are Romania, using their OTL roundel; Austria-Hungary, using the same form as the second here except in black with a white border; Poland, using the checkerboard; and Russia, using their pre-revolutionary red/blue/white roundel.

The first one is a simplified version of the national arms, but I worry that the large yellow area may be too similar to the yellow disc of their Romanian neighbors, who they Do Not Get Along With. The cross is that much more blue, but I don't know if it might seem too Austrian - the Ukrainians may have a Habsburg king, but they're definitely their own men.

Why not just keep it simple... Ukrainian colours but with a hint of Habsburg.

Edit: You might want the cross a little thicker.
