Wanted: Custom flag
« on: January 25, 2007, 06:34:06 AM »
I've been wanting to create a custom flag for my own nation, but I'm not good with Microsoft Paint, and I'm having trouble with ideas of what to use for its symbol.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Information? Any and everything that could help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

I've gotten pretty good on Paint (I made the second flag you see in my signature, though the waviness is by Tweedy).  I'll PM some experiments to you, alright?

I could make you one using Photoshop or Fireworks. Certainly, they're much better than Paint in all so many ways. If you PM some tests of yours to me, I could work with something for you.

Oh, no trouble at all. I just need to know what you want it to look like of course  ;)

Well, for my own flag, you should already know that I prefer to use the colors of Blue and White. One other color is acceptable, if necessary. And I would prefer a more "original" symbol that the hammer and sickle (though the current flag IS quite lovely; thank you, by the by).

Anywho, here's hoping we all find the perfect flag for our nations!

There is the cross of the National Bolshevik Party that Xyrael used to have on his flag.  I'll PM you about that.

Indeed, you must see Tweedy for that.
