I like it, although the eagle is a bit off-centre. However, it'd also be kind of cool if you put it farther toward the hoist and extended the tricolor section.

Perhaps something like this. Note, as it has Arabic writings its hoist is on the right. I also changed the color of the takbir to green to make it more Arab and less German.

Very sharp looking.

Danke!

There aren't a lot of five-striped flags, so I was happy with the uniqueness.

The colors really look good together. None of that damn yellow bullshit that I hate in flags.

lolwut? You don't like yellow in flags? I really like the pan-African tricolor, as well as the Jamaican flag. Gold gives a design warmth where white would give starkness. It can be used tastefully.

I'm like the Green Lantern. I just don't like the color at all. I don't know why.

Nap, you've gotta give me a list of your canonical WMIT flags. I want to sort them all on the TL's wiki page, just to make searching for them easier.

Consider it done! I'll post them all here in just a bit.

BIG IMAGE. It's every flag of the world in my Madness TL in 1900 (if you don't recognize a few African and Arab countries, it's because I haven't published the Africa-Asia chapter yet). See it with scroll-over labels here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/55680977@N04/9260918376/

Where can I find a bigger version of that Texas flag?

Cause it is wonderful.

Also, you can make my Flickr picture bigger by right-clicking, making every flag 500 pixels wide.

This flag was real, actually, and called the Goliad Bloody Arm Flag.

Very nice collection you have there !

I like the originality of some of the flags, particularly Texas using such an obscure OTL one.

I have to confess that I forgot that the TL's thread includes most of the individual flags of the major players. So, that collection image wasn't even as needed as I thought it would be.

But thanks anyway, it's cool to see them all at once, and even with annotations on flickr.

I've already expanded the page documenting the nations of the TL :

Naturally, it's all still a WIP. I haven't decided yet what paragraphs to pick for the summary on the RU's founding and history.

Wow, that's excellent work! Looks great. Keep it up, my good man!

Texas is the way to anyone's heart. People who dislike Texas don't have them.

LOL. If I had room, I'd sig that.

But no, just someone who loves Texas.

Nice! I like the combined Carolinas flag.

Thanks! That flag was an extreme variation I made of the first CSA flag.

The three small stars represent North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Carolina (Tennessee).

Three flags I made for a communist United States (the third is a pan-American socialist union, hence the mesh of the Stars and Stripes and the Bolivarian tricolor).

Which one works the best?
