I've been playing with flags for a while now, so I'll see what I can do, Breo, especisally seeing how I cam up with the idea for Arthurian Imagery. You care if I use White/Black/Grey? Those seem to me like obvious colors of a totalitarian dictatorship.

You do bare some responsibility for my flaglessness. :p All stylistic choices are yours to make.

So if I'm switching to this newfangled country, I'm officially retiring the sig that coro made me like, 5 years ago and that I've used ever since (except for [click] brief interlude)



goodnight sweet prince ;___;

that means someone could possibly make me a new one, which isn't a disgusting abomination like my homemade one (although not as bad as my very first sigs):



i'm not kidding these are what i actually used

EDIT: actually maybe a new flag as well? i don't know. i need to find someone first then we'll talk.

If just for history's sake I may be willing to continue to be blessed on your signature by creating yet another for you. Gimme the weekend.

:rd:

if you do decide to do it, let me know and I'll send you the .svg of the image I'd like incorporated (the seal thing in my flag and current sig)

A bunch of flags and a banner. I'm not sure how I feel about the banner. It incorporates four different pictures that reflect, war, transportation, industry and culture. It is worth noting that the middle two that are mentioned are noticeable unless you are looking carefully. Despite this, I went in with the purpose to incorporate four images, I'm not sure if I'm too happy with how it looks. Well, more that I think it looks fine, but I don't consider it iconic or as some of my best work. SO... what this means, if if you are a little displeased with it, I'll begin work on a second one. Perhaps even tomorrow.

Well first let me say that I really really like flag #5 and will be adopting that as the new one (so if you have a larger version that would be superb)


I also really like what you did with the signature, but if possible would love to have a few modifications:
1. in general more contrast and color (preferably a deep blue, like in the flag). In particular I'd love for the symbol to 'pop' a little bit more
2. also perhaps a different font? sorry i know I'm being totally vague about this, and maybe I'll go through a few and see if I could fine some specific fonts to give you... If it could also say "Le République du Mergogne" vs. just Mergogne that'd be awesome as well (not sure if I mentioned that before)
3. could the dimensions possibly be longer and thinner (closer to what I have now) if it's not too much trouble. i'm going to need to fit a bit of text under there


anyways, thank you so much and no rush with the 2nd version if you decide to go ahead with it.

I'd like a flag. Kind of like the French flag... except with a "new" feel. Not the techno-y kind of new though. It still has to feel like it could be a modern country.

If nobody else takes this up, I'll start making something on the weekend. I have too much university work to take care before Thursday, and Friday is a party night. :3

Wouldn't someone care to make me one of your fantastic banners?

It would include these images:







The color scheme, following that of the flag, would be green and black and the banner would read what I have in my sig in the Bogan language.

Anybody interested?

So some suggestions...

1.)
You must be registered for see images

I like this first one the least. It was rather USAF inspired initially and frankly I don't feel it should be a national flag. Perhaps make it your aircraft roundel instead.

2.)
You must be registered for see images

I feel this flag is the next evolution of the previous one. It's extremely basic, but very functional. It was rather imagined as something that would be easy to create in the wake of crisis or something.

3.)
You must be registered for see images

This here is a throw back to an old era. Anyone who has been on this forum long enough knows that a flag like this was once my own. This one has variations from my original design, as of course I wouldn't let someone else use my former flag for a by-gone nation. Changes include the number of stars, the order of the colors and the proportions. I feel it's a solid design, but could use some tweaks. I feel the usage of the stars gives it a very "new world" kind of feel, and perhaps appropriate for a "New" France.

4.)
You must be registered for see images

This here also has hints of colonialism as I believe the usage of an image in the canton suggests prior possession. I believe this flag would work well also for something that suggests a "New" France.

5.)
You must be registered for see images

This one is more... French Revolution inspired, with the suggestion of the royalty and or the empire. It's quite basic as well and uses traditional colors for Paris. Yet it's clean in that approach.

Now... I suppose it's worth saying all of these maintain the traditional colors for Paris. Why? Because you didn't leave much direction other than something French and your leader's name is Bonaparte which suggests a particular era of French history you appeared interested in. All of these designs can be tinkered with and once we finalize a design, I can then clean it up and create various clean sizes for you to pick from. If you aren't impressed with any of them, I can start from scratch again, or you'll have to provide more direction.

...additionally, I welcome others to the task if they feel they can come up with good ideas as well.

I like this flag. I can probably use the other flags for divisions and banners as well. Thanks.

Once the war against the MU and Danmark concludes I'll be needing a new flag, and I still don't have a sig banner. Something theocratic and monarchist, but with a mild Soviet theme. I'm still open to suggestions.

I might be able to... the themes seem so contradictory though it could be difficult to come up with something that looks good.

Ostveg, do you think you can do me the banner?
I could, but you need to give me images that aren't copyrighted. All my work these days uses images that are free to use and follow digital copyright laws, etc, etc. If you need help finding non-copyrighted sources... ask and I shall help you.

Okay... so the first one is for your avatar here on the forum. The second one is sized to work as the default largest size on nationstates.net. If you need any other sizes, let me know.

coro, your services are required. If you could:

This will be the background image. Over top of it should be like a faded flag, similar to yours.


Over the background image, one of the following images should be on top, again, similar to yours:




and then "La Republica de Puerto Clave" written on it somewhere all fancy. All images were taken from Google with the free to share setting on.

"Mild Soviet theme" can be as little as red and gold coloration and that'll be fine with me. I'd go into more detail on the theme I had in my mind but I wanted to see if anyone else had a better idea first.
