Flag Thread III

[King Helü of Wu]

These are some very handsome flags. Well done!

Thanks!

Now, the only thing is to flesh out the story behind the flags. I'm being too utopian to write a realistic story.

Here are my flag and coat of arms of Trans-Ural Republic.
A fictive nation born from the dissolution of USSR.

Looks oddly trans-something-other. Namely, it is reminescent of the flag of Transnistria:

CoA is dreadfully Soviet-templated too:

Republiek Formosa, with a Christianized/Islamised native population and a small Hokkien minority.

Cool, but get rid of the white.

Where did you get the art for that (flintlock) rifle?

That flag is amazing.

It's a Brown Bess, and the art came from here. I'm actually not sure it's appropriate for a flag, especially the homemade banner of a slave revolt - a gun on a flag would probably be single-color - but that was the best art I was able to find.

The coat of arms says "Zauraliye Socialisticheskoy Respubliki" which is "The Trans-Ural-Land of the Socialist Republic"

Should be the other way round: Socialist Republic of (the Peoples of) Trans-Ural:

so: Socialisticheskaya Respublika (Narodov?) Zauralya

or Zauralskaya Socialistichekaya Respublika

I like the first version better, more officialese.

Cool, but get rid of the white.

Emm,do you know any good picture editing tool? I was using Paint and Windows PowerPoint all the time.

That flag is amazing.

Thank you.

This is a flag I made after looking at that post with he bull's eye and it inspired me to make this.
Not that good.

 

[Jonathan Edelstein]

Does this version of the Ogeechee Republic flag look more homemade?

kfol:

I'd suggest getting a program like Inkscape. It's free and open source.

I tried to make the rifle all black but it came out really pixelated.

Does this version of the Ogeechee Republic flag look more homemade?

Yeah, but I'd go with all black or all (darker) grey.

Emm,do you know any good picture editing tool? I was using Paint and Windows PowerPoint all the time.

I use Paint.NET in conjunction with MSPaint. It has a much better recolor tool that could fix that right up.

 

[metastasis_d]

Here you go. The brown is still a little splotchy in the middle but it's hard to tell.

 

[Marc Pasquin]

Does this version of the Ogeechee Republic flag look more homemade?

still too detailed, maybe just a block of colour using its outline ?

 

[metastasis_d]

Here is what I came up with switching pretty much all the colors to straight black. I definitely like the symbolism in it.
