Mac's Flag Making Thread!

Well, I know there was a thread like this back in 2003, and indeed, whoever owned the thread made my flag! So, I decided to be cool like him and start a thread to make flags. So, obviously I might get drowned out with orders, but meh, I'll try to take it like a man. So, this is what the form should have, or I wont do it for you [I'll just ignore the request].

Background Colors: Specific colors, if obscure please give me the HTML color code; and if you want a pattern, gimme that too.
Objects in the Foreground: Pictures, symbols, et cetera. If its something not easily found on google, please link with an image, or an example where I can expand from.
Writing: Anything written? If in a foreign language, please supply me with the characters so that I can merely copy/paste, and then change the font if needed.
Additional Information: Anything else which you might think pertinent.

---

OK, so shoot away! The image will be hosted on my server; download it to your computer immediately [save it]; it will be deleted within two days.

I'll claim the "first-customer" spot. :p

Perhaps you can improve on my current flag, Mac.

Flag base (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/neotheone175/NationStates/Modern%20Tech/Halberdgardia_flag_base.png)

If you could erase the text and fill back in the covered-up parts (e.g., part of the right wing, the middle tail, etc.), that would be awesome. Also, could you save two versions, one full-size, and one reduced to flag size? Thanks!

This is in the wrong sub-catagory and its stupid who cares that you can make an online flag!!!

The rest of I.I. cares a lot more about his flag-making skills than your useless comments.

Part 1: True. Moved to Gameplay
Part 2: Flaming. If you don't want to play parts of the game, don't. Nobody is holding a gun to your head.

Well...since you're offering now. I have a few. :)

Imperial Guard Flag
Background Color: Black (White if the image cannot be seen in black background)
Images: A Paladin (Google generally has these. Just pick one you like and slap it on there.)
Writing: "Iacio in nomen of Deus" (Cast in the name of God) (Put this across the Top of the flag, please)

Is there a limit per person?

I'm going to ignore that first comment, and I'll get to your flag right now Hal.

I tried to save the tail; but I'm not skilled enough to give it surgery, sorry.

Are you sure you want the articles [in and of]; I don't remember the indirect object form for that declention, but of God would be Deii in Latin [genative].
The Macabees
10-01-2006, 04:45
Well, I looked it up. I remember that in in lating is in + accusative, meaning name would be in accusative - nomen belongs to the third declention neuter, and so the accusative of Nomen is, in fact, the same as the nominative - Nomen. So this is the flag, as per request.

And no, there's no limit.

OK, If I may be so bold.

I would like a flag divided like an 'X', I believe that is called a St. George Cross.
See; the Confederate Battle Flag, or the Union Jack.

I want the Cross Green
I want the Northern Quadrant White
East Red
Yellow South
West Black
I want thirteen stars in the North and nine moons in the south.

Please.

What say you?

Oh, and my very first Nation States post goes to Mac's Flag thread.
Congrats.

For Nanic:

TPF. the shield is cut off, but it didn't fit well; nevertheless, is this what you were looking for?

Mac, could you re-do my flag for me? I mean, keep it basicly the same, but kind of fix it up. It was done within five minutes in Paintshop, and I didn't really put much effort into it. I think one of the Iron crosses it out of postion, so could you repostion it so it aligns perfectly with the other one?

I want picture of red human fist with hammer in hand. Background is black. Above hand, there is text in red: Rot Armee
Nation of Fortune
10-01-2006, 07:23
I guess I'll ask away.....

I would like a greyish background
Taking up the left side I would like the grim reaper
I would like the words "With a rifle in my hand, I die for causes not my own, but rather I die for the money promised when I finish the job." In the upper right corner
And on the lower right I would like this rifle (http://world.guns.ru/sniper/hk_msg90a1.jpg)

Thanks

Excellent Flag Mac, as ususal. Now I do have another request:

Heaven's Knights Flag
Background Color: White
Images: Put a shield of some kind, your choice right in the middle of the flag. On the northeastern part of the flag put a Christian Cross, to the Southeast put a Muslim Crecent and Star. To the southwest, please, put a Yin and Yang simple and just above that on the northwest put a Human fist (to represent atheism)
Writing: "Verso Difendere tutto Fede" (To Defend all Faiths)

Uldarious' National flag.

I'd like it to resemble Finland or Sweden in appearance with a silver cross and a black background, edged in silver if possible.
Also I would like it if a small purple and red yin-yang would be placed at the point that the cross' bars meet.
If silver is unavailable grey would do fine in it's place.

mac, i need one better than trinidad and Tobago (my current one)

Style of the old Confederate States of America Flag, with a eagle at the top and "Vae Victis" at the bottom

Ah, this is the kind of topic I'v needed for a long time, good idea Mac :p

Background: Black
Writing: From four corners to the Center a big 'X'
Images: If possible try to put an AdMech badge over the center of the X(Google for Adeptus Mechanicus at images, then you'll only need the first page of Google)

The black box isn't centered; that's the problem; I tried to reposition it, but regardless of where I place it, either it's too close to the black box, or it's cut off by the flag's edge.

To tell you the truth, that's a pretty long quote to put in the corner, let alone the flag.

Well, I'm going by standard NS conventions 107x71, to keep the KB size low [lower than 10KB]; so keep in mind it has to fit on that; it's already hard to read some of the text on those flags because of the size.

Understood.

How about if it's illegible, you take out the quote, and just place the rifle more centered.

No, becuase the proportions would remain the same.

Just wondering could you do 2 different versions of my present flag http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/DK_Viceroy/NovacomFlag.png

Can one be made to look fairly industrial with a few rivets and maybe a metallic sheen and can the other be raised up and embossed to look more 3D.

Can I have them in flag size and also in the same size as the link above plz?

If it's not too much trouble.
