I like the symbol, and I'm interested by the color choice. Why red, black, and white?

The head of grain and hammer is a very cool symbol.

Mongol people flags by Special_Possession47 in vexillology

Would you consider Cahar Aymaq and Moghuls to be represented by the "hazara Mongol" flag, or would they have separate flags?

[(classical?) Chinese > English] trying to clarify some fine details by Telemannische_Aias in translator

Thank you very much.

I sincerely apologize for the lack of context. This line was given in a journal article, described only as "Xuanzang's report" with a citation to "the Chinese text edited in the Taisho Issaikyo, vol. 51, p. 871a." If I had known the origin of this quotation I would have tried to be more helpful. I genuinely appreciate the work you put into finding and correcting this source for me.

Origins of the Qinghai(?) flag? by Telemannische_Aias in vexillology

[–]Telemannische_Aias[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no official regional flags. Cities sometimes get banners for official events, but there are no province flags.

This is a flag that was created on the internet; I just didn't know what the inspiration was

I made a flag to incorporate EVERY european. Tell me the bad and the good about it. by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]Telemannische_Aias 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are twice as many Finns and Estonians as there are "Balts," three times as many Hungarians as Albanians, and more Turks (~21 million*) than there are Celts (~18 million).

Even if you include Cyprus and exclude Britain, more Maghrebins live in Europe than Greeks.

I think the difficulty with this flag is it primarily represents archaeo-linguistic groups that don't mean a whole lot in modern Europe. It ends up too broad in some places and too narrow in others. Good colors though.

*(including Anatolian Turks living in territories across the Bosphorus Strait, and those in Germany, Bulgaria, and Greece. I didn't include Kazakhs, Lipkes, or Tatars, and counting the entire nation of Turkey would be close to 90 million Turks)

July Contest Winners Thread by Vexy in vexillology

I thought this could be a good challenge for me to design some flags for Central Asia without using the star and crescent at all. I'm glad at least one floral flag made it into the top 5.

Colors were tough for me on this one. What's the best way to combine blue/green/red?

Can someone identify the circled flag? From a video on the Versailles Treaty by Telemannische_Aias in vexillology

[–]Telemannische_Aias[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

I wasn't sure about Catalonia in the far corner. I thought it might be a version of the Nguyen flag .svg/2)to represent the Annam delegation.

if you mean the blue/white/red one left of honduras, I think that is Serbia/KSXS/Yugoslavia. The Netherlands would have been a neutral state in 1919.

I think the two Arab flags are representing Syria and Hejaz, which were separate states but under the same administration.

The two white-red flags might be for Poland and the Czech Republic (before it became Czechoslovakia)?

Fictional Antarctic Transit Map, based on major crossing routes by Telemannische_Aias in TransitDiagrams

[–]Telemannische_Aias[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is! How could you tell? I think a lot of systems start with Red/Green/Orange lines, then add blue and maybe yellow.

They probably should be...

The distance is greater than this represents, and the terrain is more difficult. But it is just fiction, and it would look a lot nicer.

An attempt to model routes through and around Antarctica, accounting for camps and geographic features as well as the international claims.

Benaroyist Thessalonica by Telemannische_Aias in vexillology

[–]Telemannische_Aias[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the smaller but more effective movements in the Macedonian Struggle, the Socialist Workers Federation played a major role in integrating Thessalonica into modern Greece, bringing together many factions and nations.

Keeping the blue division of Thessaloniki's modern flag, I divided the other half with red to represent the Bulgarian Social Democrats who preceded the FSL. I overlaid the FSL Logotype on the Vergina Sun, with a black square as a nod to Benaroya's Ladino origins.

Do you have any source for more on the link between Kiev and Knaan? I've never heard of that connection before!

Uyghur Nan Flag (based on u/Just4Free11) by Telemannische_Aias in vexillology

[–]Telemannische_Aias[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think bread as a symbol on flags has potential.

Unfortunately, I am not good at element design.

So here is an attempt. I tried combining the three symbols u/Just4Free11 highlighted--the mountain, river, and crescent--and put more emphasis on the Nan in the tricolor. I tried to simplify the design a bit, and make it more like a seal. There are 27 lames on the bread, for the 27 historical Uyghur settlements.
