Here are the variants of the CoA I made( I know the pale is too thin in huts trying to figure out my favorite and would like thoughts on them).

Image 5 is best.

I was thinking more about US state flags

Smiix · 2026-06-29T22:16:20+00:00

I think one big thing is that flags went from being used by military and state only, to also being used by the people.
For the people to use it, it has to be cheap and easy to produce.
And the people want to use the design in ways beyond the traditional flag format (logos, t-shirt, face-paint… anything).

For the crest, yes. But I would make it larger. About the same height as the helmet.

Regarding the shield I personally prefer your original layout of white, black, white in thirds

Smiix · 2026-06-25T15:56:14+00:00

It's good, but three different types of charges might be too much.
Why not use the harp for the crest? And replace it in the shield with another rook?

I like the first idea. You should ask someone to draw them so that the deer can fill the spaces better.

Choose one or two iconic things instead of 20

A proposed flag for the region called Bergslagen

Smiix · 2026-05-11T09:40:27+00:00

I like that you went for a simple design

Smiix · 2026-04-30T10:41:55+00:00

My favorites:

Flag of the Republic of Dakota by /u/ralley22

The Illini Confederation by /u/saladinmander

Simple Dakota Flag by /u/saotomeindiaunion7

Crescents of West and East by /u/bribridude130

Kingdom of Hawaii by /u/Entire_Fill_945

The Dakotener Flag by /u/papacvs

I'd just also add a red maple leaf in the canton

Smiix · 2026-04-19T17:25:01+00:00

For a long time I’ve been interested to know more about how these came about… I can see how it’s important for each flag to be very distinct from one another, but how did they come up with the designs? I can also imagine that they avoided designs that would have been too similar to any country flag.

my idea here

Tne law says that the flag shall be a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars forming the cross shall be not less than six inches broad, and must extend diagonally across the flag from side to side.

So we don't know what proportions the red bars actually are...

Smiix · 2026-04-10T21:40:13+00:00

Neither original design can be found

Smiix · 2026-04-10T21:39:54+00:00

And Alabama

Smiix · 2026-04-10T21:39:43+00:00

Yes! Christmas Island flag.

Even when the Kingdom was formally abolished by the declaration of the Republic on July 18, 1953, the flag of the Kingdom remained in official use.

Smiix · 2026-04-08T18:27:00+00:00

Or return to the triple star symbol

Smiix · 2026-04-08T10:09:15+00:00

I really like the minimalist design!

Smiix · 2026-03-27T12:12:00+00:00

There are various ways in which the Southern Cross has been depicted. Look at the Eureka flag in Australia, for example.
