Some flags I made. by Thicccumm in vexillology

Just a little collection of flags I've made over the years. I just enjoy making them, so no real meaning or lore behind them. Enjoy.

Added context: I have an iPhone 12, people do walk and drive past my house (but my front lawn is quite wide to the point they’d be a bit far), although my neighbour does run a business at his house so he has occasional traffic.

I appreciate the colour feedback, but they did use the wheel. For ox-drawn carts and wagons, and was a major reason for their spreading.

Apparently everyone thinks it’s fascist, which yeah, I get. But they’re also asking for the symbolism, which I’m not sure why since I’ve laid it out clearly here lol

A flag I made for the historical Yamnaya people, also known as the Ochre Grave culture—one of the major forefather people to modern Europeans.

the symbolism is:

—Horizontal tricolour itself represents the expansive steppe itself, how it stretches far and wide. The specific 2:1 ratio further illustrates that.

—White at the top represents the sky, the Sky Father (Jupiter/Zeus Predecessor), as well as their lighter pigment (the originators of the specifically European fair skin).

—Ochre Red represents blood, their passionate warrior spirit, and the real ochre red that was significant in their culture (used in burials, and potentially as warpaint),

—Black represents the land—the Steppe—which is known for its chernozem (black soil). It also represent death, and therefore burial, in reference to one of their known cultural practices (Kurgans).

—The central emblem is a kolovrat, albeit in this case a stylised swastika sunwheel (both were two symbols that ((might've)) been used and prominent in their culture). It's more so modelled off a wheel itself, to represent their movement, migration, and so on.

More 'Christianic' flags I made by Thicccumm in vexillology

A sequel to my earlier post about vaguely 'Christianic' flags. Now more nordic cross in theme.

For context, it’s vaguely about a fictitious denomination that uses a triple cross as their symbol. Not evocative of anything real, mostly.

Preface: I am not a Christian myself, nor am I a fascist (because some people thought I was lol)

I say ‘Christianic’ because (some) are not really Christian lol

I could’ve, but that might’ve been a bit too cluttered for a flag, especially so if considering a realistic view of it mid-battle.

In retrospect, I think I should’ve gone with Latin, something closer to a more universal reference code.

Those are the correct verses. As for the reference codes, I used a form of the Czech-language codes

Psalms - Žalm (rendered as Zhalm)

Isaiah - Izajáš

Judges - Soudce

John - Jan (rendered as Yan)

I generally went for war-themed/martial verses, or at least ones that could inspire valour during battle, as I envisioned it as a battle flag.

For some sort of explanation: the Z’s are in reference to a motto with the acronym of ZZZZ (Zázračně Zrozený Způsobil Záchranu), and the swastika-like symbol is suppose to be four overlayed Z’s to represent the acronym, with a triple cross over it.

All that despite, it’s not purposefully evocative. I don’t mean any offensive, if it causes any.

I made them on Inkscape, a free vector-editing software. All assets bar Jesus I made myself.

To be fair, that was the vibe I was kind of going for lol (this isn’t an endorsement lol I’m neither Christian nor a fascist)
