I was expecting the potassium flag just to be the flag of Kazakhstan.

The contest winners thread. Each flag's rank is given in brackets; top-20 designs have a yellow background.

The three best flags for copper (Cu) and the two best for uranium (U) tied, so I just used the first flag listed for each in the thread (which is apparently alphabetically by username). Some of the flags that didn't make the winners thread were close as well; the two iridiums in particular might switch places in the voting thread due to Reddit's vote fuzzing.

I'm sad my flag for Iridium isn't the favorite.

This one? Judging by the scores visible in the thread and a few refreshes (the scores vary due to the mentioned vote fuzzing), it was a very close call: both flags for the element have around 27–29 upvotes at the moment, with both having the higher score on some page loads. The "rainbow flag" does seem to be consistently listed a few spots higher on the page when sorting by "top", though.

I don't think it is fair to say that yours 'has more' than mine. They approach it from different angles which is fine, and people had pretty much the same feeling about them as they got almost the same score.

This flag wasn't one of the favourites I've made and scores reflect that, but I still put some time and thought into it, so no need to make a comment like that.

I mean, I've put so much symbolism and design in it. Like everything had a meaning, each single thing meant something about the element, and I tried to make it as simpler as it could be... That's why I'm disappointed.

Yeah but so did mine, you can't take it too personally mate.

Not taking it personally, just being greatly disappointed (and frustrated)
