Ectoria Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I was wondering if someone could make a flag similar to that of the Taiwanese one, but instead of a white sun, could some put something along the lines of a white arm holding a white sword, or maybe a white spear. Also, to prevent the flag from being to ordinary, could someone put something in the red field? Not really sure as to what. My national animal is a small untamed horse called a broncho, so maybe that will give a few ideas. Link to comment
Haken Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Pfew, hard one. So far none of my attempts sadisfied me. It's hard to find the arm I pictured in my head. Link to comment
Ectoria Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 (edited) Yeah. I triead a few times. Ever play the game starcraft? One of the Human factions called the Sons of Korhol/Dominion used the image in a flag in a short cinematic of the game. Except it was a whip in the arm, not a sword.

Ectoria Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hey Haken, I found the starcraft logo I was talking about. Logo I'm not a graphics whiz, so could you change the black to blue and see how it would look on a Taiwanese flag? Link to comment
Europa Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 a smaller one one with european-stars Link to comment
Haken Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 (edited) Never played Starcraft, but I heared a lot about the game. (I see Europa just posted before me ) I'm not so good with technic stuff, I just use paint. I canged the color, draw a sword and addesd some horses while I was at it. small version: Edited March 21, 2005 by Haken (see edit history) Link to comment
Ectoria Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 (edited) I really like the look of yours Haken. The horses didn't come out as great as I thogut. Would you make a version of it without horse and see how it looks? The other flag version looks good aswell, but I visioned the arm to be showing more like in Hekans.

Phil VII Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 well, here's my attempt, i think i got a suitably bucking-bronco horse for you... Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Isn't that from Lloyds TSB or some other bank? Link to comment
Ectoria Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think I like Phil's bucking broncho one best, but I'm not really sure. Could you resize it to avatar size so I could compare it to Hakens so I could decide which I like better? Link to comment
Byzantium Nova Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Here?s my version: http://img78.exs.cx/img78/3766/flag5oq.jpg http://img78.exs.cx/img78/6929/flagsmall2sm.jpg Link to comment
Haken Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 (edited) The competition is killing me and I'm betting Orioni is also going to have a shot at this. EDIT: nevermind Edited March 20, 2005 by Haken (see edit history) Link to comment
Byzantium Nova Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 EDIT: Anyway I picked all in the flag from real heraldics. The one in blue backround is modified from Karelian heraldic shield and the horse is from some French heraldic shield. Link to comment
Haken Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Haken strikes back! http://img44.exs.cx/img44/3477/flag24em.jpg Link to comment
Phil VII Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 theres no need to re-size it, the avatar system will do it for you. and yes, the hrse was from lloyds TSB, as soon as i saw a bucking black horse was wanted, i thought of the Lloyds logo. oh and BZ, i love your new flag and banner, lovely rich colours...nice Link to comment
Byzantium Nova Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Heh. Just got an inspiration to do them. It should be the original byzantine flag plus I added Nato compass star behind the Imperial eagle. Link to comment
Ectoria Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 This has gotten tough to decide! I like Byzantiums flag because it adds new colors and the horse looks really nice. But I still have aliking for Phil IV's flag. I also like his sword better. Oh, and the reason I wanted the flag reseized is so it would be the visible flag on Nationstates Link to comment
Orioni Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 The competition is killing me and I'm betting Orioni is also going to have a shot at this. Nah.. How could I ever beat these proposal? @ Phil: I really like yours. If I were to do one, Iid use that arm+sword but insert the horse from Ferrari. Other then that it looks really good. Ps: If you're unsure about which images to use, then a good way to get samples is to search for tattoos. Link to comment
Phil VII Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 tattos eh, thats interesting, i might try that in future. ferrari, hmm, i didnt think of them, maybe i should have, but the lloyds horse is also already black, i might look into those suggestions, i'm a bit of a perfectionist whenit comes to these things... the arm i got was a mixture of the arm from the Korhal/starcraft symbol, and the hand and sword off some sort of heraldric crest i found Link to comment
Haken Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Ow well, At least someone used my flag for two days. *snick* Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Tattoos are, indeed, useful. The stag on my flag comes from a tattoo lifted of a Scythian mummy. Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I hope the authorities don't know. You could get in a lot of trouble for vandalising ancient dead buggers. And I hope you washed your hands afterwards. Link to comment
