lollll
gritty shard
this chat is dedicated for flag nerds
uncut needle
i feel like this thread will be quite short lived
anyway, this is the other flag I designed
gritty shard
this one is actually sick
I like the colour combo and the distribution of stars
what does it represent
uncut needle
I also have this variant
it's for a song of mine that I never released cause i didn't have a good cover art for it
so I was in this flag obsession phase and thought "maybe i can just use a flag for the album art"
of course I never actually used it 🥲
but it's the general idea of what kind of album art i wanted for the song, just flag-ified
it's literally just a starry sky
the yellow part is supposed to be the ground, it being slanted and with the blue stripe it's just cause it looked cooler this way
gritty shard
ohh, sad story..
it is a good flag tho
but if I think about it the "OEC" flag, I never imagined a circular flag
uncut needle
the stars are in the formation of the leo constellation, chosen because i was born under it (i'm technically virgo, but traditional astrology doesn't account for the amount of precession that happened in the last 2000 years so the sun is actually in the leo constellation at that time of year)
gritty shard
also, how did you draw this. they look very good. pole and simulation of air waving the flag
uncut needle
sizes are actually adjusted for the brightness of the starts in those constellations

ohh, so that is interesting so that's why you have a big star with red in it. that's a deep thinking
uncut needle
and the biggest one has a red circle inside of it cause the song has quite the weeb sound to it LOL

they added a bunch of extra options since last time I visited
they have different pole types now

oh it didn't have the orbit logo, just the shapes
lemme take some pics from my album
nevermind, I misremembered
it was actually the orbit 1.0 photobook, but I can't find it—I might have given it away
basically the pics of the members were separated on a unit basis by blank pages with the shapes of the unit that would come next in the photobook
gritty shard
ohh, it's fine
gritty shard
so, to make this chat more interesting. I will post FLAG OF THE DAY selected by me : )
gritty shard
FLAG OF THE DAY - Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth flag (1605 - 1795)
this flag has more than 4 sides, rarest designs in modern day flags.
only country with more than 4 sides in their flag at present is Nepal 🇳🇵
maiden basin
that is a dope flag
gritty shard
yea
I've seen many flags of that period with the extended triangles, I'm not sure about the purpose of it but I believe it has to do with the better flag visibility with wind
now, this flag design is not seen
maiden basin
yeah honestly it just probably looked cooler too
but its now easier to mass produce flags with 4 sides
gritty shard
oh yea, actually mass production could have actually effected the design of the flags during the early stages of industrial revolution
I tried to find flags that aren't quadrilateral and funnily I found Ohio flag has 5 sides
only in Ohio
maiden basin
lmaoooo
gritty shard
flag of Ohio
uncut needle
yeah Ohio flag super weird
i was watching a video yesterday and apparently they dunked on it even back when it was originally designed
gritty shard
I think this is the funniest part
It shall have three red and two white horizontal stripes that represent the roads and waterways of the state
I could've never guessed
also it being burgee-shaped it was mostly used in the "maritime flags"
According to vexillologist Whitney Smith, it may be loosely based upon cavalry flags of the Civil War and Spanish–American War.
this was written in wikipedia
the reason behind the burgee shape

something I would draw in primary school
gritty shard
**FLAG OF THE DAY **- Hungarian Soviet Republic (March - August 1919)
now THIS is a giant red flag || 🚩 ||
uncut needle
that's same energy as the old all-green Libya flag
or the all-black Afghanistan one I think?
gritty shard
yep, these three flags are the solid colour flags
beside France in war always waving white flag 
such creativity
gritty shard
what a flag
uncut needle
i feel there must be a solid blue flag somewhere
gritty shard
send em lad
gritty shard
oh yea
these flags
they remind me of the game opening screen
their design is not disturbing, very subtle
uncut needle
i love both links
gritty shard
ohh, I can see the red and white canadian 🇨🇦 colours but what's the relation with cowboy hat lol
Canadian provinces have good flags but union jack ruins it all
except maybe... new brunswick which used the lion instead

gritty shard
Flag of Tibetan empire (7th century)
uncut needle
7th century? were people even using flags back then?
gritty shard
that's the oldest flag I've come across
I'm pretty sure flags were used even before that
I searched up and realised vikings age was 8th-11th centure. so this is even older!
uncut needle
flags got their start on ships, so it makes sense that you'd find the oldest ones among seafaring peoples
but Tibet is landlocked 🤔
gritty shard
actually, we have a tibetan market in our city every winters so I was curious about the history and saw this flag on the wikipedia page
uncut needle
oh it's a standard
gritty shard
ahh yeah
gritty shard
Northumbria flag (dated C7th)
A banner of purple and gold which hung over the tomb of St Oswald. the 7th century king of the Anglo Saxon kingdom Northumbria.
The purple may have become red over time owing to the availability of expensive purple dyes, or the fading of dyes. This registration of the Northumbria provincial flag has opted for a shade of carmine red to balance both versions as well as differentiate the design from similar red and yellow striped flags.
gritty shard
I believe it's oldest flag from England
gritty shard
Gadsden flag (adopted in 1775) used in American revolution that has led to ideas of individualism and liberty
recently it has been adopted by many far right organisations that has led for a lot of people to stop use this flag
still you can get customised license plate with this template in many states

Now some states want to implement flags, this is Jalisco's, it's gaining popularity among independentists
Looks like a Canary Islands flag imo
gritty shard
it still has the coat of arms in the centre

It's a good color pallet, but the coats are officially "new"
The coat for my state has been in use only 30 years
However, nothing beats Japan's prefectures

I never seen them

However, nothing beats Japan's prefectures
they're loved a lot
their simplistic design and good contrast in colours makes it so good

Plus many of them are based on their hiragana or kanji characters
Like Mie prefecture
みえ and you can see the logo looks like "Mi み"
Same with Miyagi
shell shadow
Tokushima is for the hiragana characters と (to) and く(ku)
And it also emulates a flying bird

it's got a funny story to it
basically it's derived from the original kingdom of Hawaii flag, the king made them put an union jack on it even if they had nothing to do with the UK in hope that would win them the graces of the Brits
thankfully they totally ignored it and didn't think they wanted to be conquered lol ||the Americans took care of that||
or maybe he just thought that's what flags are supposed to look like cause all they'd seen was flags with union jacks
speaking of administrative division flags
Italian regions are a bit of a mishmash
some have actual flags, but other have thought they needed a seal or a logo 🤦♂️
so some of them do end up looking like seals on a bedsheet
especially that of my own region https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lazio_Flag.svg
the color choice on the background is especially painful
meanwhile Sicily got a badass flag https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sicilian_Flag.svg
it's the only Italian region where apple bothered to add the corresponding emoji in their font for a reason
no ok i lied, even they don't have it
i could swear i had seen in at least one emoji font
(and yes, the emoji spec has a way to encode flag emojis for any administrative division with an ISO code, but no one bothers to add them to their fonts aside from the UK regions 🏴🏴🏴 and Texas because murica i guess)
(tbh it's kinda sad that something that was originally made in Japan has become so Anglosphere-centric now)

was searching about history of flags and this was in wikipedia
daring warren
woahh cool
gritty shard
I have a question, how would you define or differentiate between a standard and a flag
uncut needle
not an expert, but my gut feeling is that standards are usually hung down a horizontal bar, with that bar itself hanging on a vertical pole, and carried around
gritty shard
ohh, so like the ones used in wars in mideival period
uncut needle
i find it pretty cute if you ask me
i can't unsee it as the apartheid era flag tho, that's less cute
gritty shard

Idk in you guys' countries, but in my country we have a day to commemorate our flag. Elementary school kids usually recreate each different flag we had through history and sometimes each classroom would have a contest to see who has the prettiest and most accurate flag (the award being extea points or extra recess time)
gritty shard
ohh, that sounds cool
I think during Republic day or independence day the schools usually hold these events
also thinking about it, Mexico flag would be so hard to recreate by drawing
shell shadow
Well, the thing is to do the current flag there's a trick
Most coins at the back have the coat of arms
So, you put your paper on top of the coin and trace it
gritty shard
ohh, like this
this is great, my dad likes to collect different currencies 
he would like it

Really? I had a collection in my country, but since I can't go back it's lost over there. It was mostly central American currencies but it was cool anyways. It was my grandpa's but let's say it was mine
gritty shard
oh sad... you can start collecting again~
I like the vertical notes a lot lol, they're just new to me
tho mexican currency is great, I heard mexican bank notes win the best award
oh yeah, 2021 was won by 50 pesos note and 2020 was won by 100 pesos
both vertical wow

Idk how to start if I'm honest, I'd love to have some currencies just for fun, but collecting loona is already making my wallet cry

You mean these ones right?
gritty shard
You mean these ones right?
ah yes, these ones
check this
this is great, the colour and everything
shell shadow
100 pesos always have the same colors no matter the design, I'm glad they added the monarch butterfly, such an underrated part of our wildlife, in my opinion is prettier than the 50 pesos
In 2010 it was the 200th indepence anniversary and 100th revolution anniversary, so la casa de la moneda released these special edition
And the 5 pesos coins had the heroes faces on them
gritty shard
I see, but I'm confused what does hero and heroine mean here
ofc it's not movie heroes, it cannot be
gritty shard
And the 5 pesos coins had the heroes faces on them
so many different coins for 5 pesos, it would be confusing I mean someone can use fake coin and pretend that it's real 😭

What in the US would be considered "the founding fathers", some of them, others were the revolutionaries
gritty shard
ohh, that is great
most of the countries uses pictures of their monarchs or founding fathers
I like the idea of using faces on coins more than bank notes
shell shadow
this is great, the colour and everything
In some bills we even had poems. She was originally in the 200 pesos. She's the most famous female poet in Mexico history, and the old 200 bill included a poem of her in the back

can't imagine all the coins being same sized 💀
shell shadow
also, what is the material of pesos. is it made of plastic/fibre or boring paper
It's plastic. The only ones made with paper are the really old ones. However, the 200 special was made out of both paper and plastic
This part circled was plastic. In order to know if a bill was fake or not, the shells inside the plastic needed to move
gritty shard
oh ok, I've had canadian and Australian dollars both made of plastic... tbh they feel better and looks studier but the American dollars just were boring

What a shame, it looked really pretty
It reminded of the fake bills in my country that you would fine in a cheap toy store. They would print wrestlers, cartoons, football players, etc so they would look like a toy

catching up to some discussion
- i don't recall Italy having a commemorative day for our flag *double checks on wiki* oh it's supposed to be January 7, but i don't remember ever doing anything related to it in school. it was probably overshadowed by the Holocaust remembrance day on January 27, for which I remember we'd always prepare something even weeks in advance especially in elementary and middle school

Yes, I find it interesting since usually the passports with the country contour would have the map alone, but it's understandable since some of them are too small(?
gritty shard
hmmm, I don't think it being too small is a problem. maybe it is to show central american union
but I'm not sure how friendly the relations are among them

Me either, but still a unique design imo. I think there's also black passports, India has it(? I'm not entirely sure if it's them
Oh no, it's New Zealand

Me either, but still a unique design imo. I think there's also black passports, ...
the passports differ, there are generally 3 types of passports in a country

ok but hear me out
what are your thoughts on these proposed designs
ngl, I like them more

I like the first one since it keeps the typical passport frame but with a unique design that differentiates it from any other

And I love that they include the flag on the third one, but I don't think it'll ...
Or whatever material they're made of
I would've included Taipei 101 in the designs but it's just an opinion
gritty shard
yea it is leather
I mean I liked these designs a lot, I just think they're different from the traditional designs
unless there is a strict guidelines of making passport
shell shadow
I don't think there's any regulations for the design, but as governmental documentation I don't expect many countries to try the same as Taiwan
shell shadow
Yes I know it was a contest, but I haven't seen any other country trying to re design the exterior cover of their passport
At least not any bold design out of the box
gritty shard
Korea could have easily done that with the new update
like the first one, I also the blue colour more than green
shell shadow
And it's not a dark dark blue, still prefer the old one, idk why but the new one feels like a notebook
gritty shard
I agree it looks less like a passport but it looks cleaner to the eyes
even though I'm big fan of green colour
that dark colour + the gold on it doesn't appeal me
uncut needle
i like the seal script idea of the third proposal
and i would incorporate it in something more like the first design
which would be my favorite if not for the boba which sorry, just not passport-like enough for my taste
shell shadow

I think I'd put some butterflies on it, haven't seen one with them. The butterflies are free to fly, so it would represent the freedom of the people
"Freedom"
gritty shard
yeah! butterfly would be unique
referring to the loona song clearly
I would put probably a Penguin or Northern Goshawk
tho both are birds
Penguins bcs they are cute...
and Northern Goshawk is a huge representation in sikhism which depicts strength
shell shadow
You could add both birds
If your flag has the same frame as let's say Panama
Four squares
In on top square you can add the Goshawk
And the penguin diagonally

you can check the pinned message on this thread where you can simulate waving of flag with just a png or jpeg

i see my yyxy flag again 👀
for who wasn't when i first talked about it, the plan was to make a square 1/3 flag and a semicircular oec one
but i gave up while trying to think how to fit yeojin in the 1/3 flag, probably
and never got to think about the oec one
that now that i think of it, could be black with three colored stripes along the outer edge
shell shadow
I like the idea for the oec, or you can do it with three circles in the center

flag used by german peasants during peasant war
The flag was used as a banner by the German peasants who fought against the feudal system present in the Holy Roman Empire of the XVI century.
It shows a rainbow, intended to refer to the covenant God made between Noah and Himself (Genesis 9:1-17). Below the rainbow, there is a line of Latin text saying "verbum domini maneat in etternum" (="verbvm Domini maneat in aeternvm"), which means "The word of the LORD stays eternally", signaling the eternal validity of the covenant God made between Noah and Himself.
Underneath the line in Latin, there are two lines of German text saying "die ist das zeichen des ewigen bundes gotes" (="die ist das Zeichen des ewigen Bundes Gottes"), which means "It is the sign of the eternal covenant of God", describing the meaning of the rainbow.
