Not to be rude or anything but where is Blast. Has he done anything lately on here.

I haven't seen anything happen by Blast.

Hi, im new here in nation state so how do you play this game?

Well, here is the wrong place to ask (this is a flag making thread) but its pretty much up to you, this should help you in international incidents which is where most stuff happens: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=543994

I have access to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS3 when I'm not at home, so I'd be glad to take a few requests if I can get the bloody things to cooperate.

I made my own flag, although Nationstates' stupidly low size limit made me have to shrink it in both quality and relative dimensions, at least on the forums.

I had a request on pg 16, I believe. It involved a red field, green triangular canton/field with a gold patriarchal cross in the middle of the green area. Thank you very much:D

I'll see what I can do.

Large and a version with the size for nationstates (although probably bigger than 10kb).

It turned out more orange than when I was actually working on it but it's still recognizably red. Is this good or do you want any tweaks?

Might I suggest a blue field with a green or red triangle and the gold cross? Those colors go better together than green, red, and yellow.

The reason I chose those colors was because the Korintari motto, in English, is "The Law of the Grace of God: Life, Liberty; Equality", and the red represents socialism (or in Korintar's case- participatory economics; which being from anarchist thought might suggest a color change to black...), the green represents the vitality of the lush Korintari environment, and gold represents liberty as Korintar believes in the principles democracy, human rights, popular sovereignty, participatory economics, "state's rights", and the sanctity of human life. I was just going based upon a wikipedia article I saw about what different colors mean in politics. The patriarchal cross represents that Korintar is mostly christian and the culture has a bit of an eastern mediterranean/hellenic feel to it. I was originally thinking that the triangle would be rotated 90 degrees and would be at the left side, if you can picture what I am saying. That particular shade of red will work. Will this work or do you have any further suggestions of what might be better for what kind of culture I am trying to express?

Methinks i have a request on page 14 that i'd like finished

I see what you're saying, and I understand what you mean by the triangle placement. I'll whip that up tomorrow, but methinks switching the red and green around might work nicely.

I'll get to yours as soon as I can, Ichythus.

sounds good.

I have a request that I think would be fairly easy.

I have a flag designed and made: http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/ZCA347/?action=view&current=flag.jpg

I'm just inable to shrink it's filesize, being useless with anything more advanced tham MS Paint.

Could you help me out?

Here you are, and I also cleaned it up. My friend, get your hands on PaintDOTNET.

A free, photoshop-esque program. My friend, for simple images with small amounts of different colors, .png and .gif work far, far better than JPG.

As for Korintar, here are the versions with both swapped colors and a fixed triangle:

Next up is Ichythus.

I would like to make a request, and a very simple one too:
using the scottish flag as a basis, change the color to a Forrest Green, superimpose a falcon holding a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 in its left talons and a scroll in the other in a bronze color.

Here's Ichythus'. The fish got slightly distorted but it's recognizable. I went with a stylized cliff, just a gray edifice.

Edit: My apology, Fens, but illustrator doesn't want to cooperate and I am finding it extremely difficult to make your request, and for now abandon it. Illustrator is so damn backwards sometimes.

I had two a few pagges ago id like done, if possible and if you can find them

Niiiiice
Whoot!

I'll do it as soon as I can.

The flag is great, Stabistan! Thank you very much:D

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me, I created a flag in word and intended to convert it to a PDF, but the convert is distorting the crest. I was wondering if someone could suggest a good PDF converter or another method?

I'm more familiar with OOo, but I believe the process should be similar for MSWord.

Under File, there should be an Export as PDF button. Click it, and it will eliminate the need to convert it with some outside source.

If this does not solve your problems, I suggest remaking the flag in an image editor, such as MSPaint, GIMP, or Paint.NET, all three of which are free. MSPaint should come with your computer, if I am correct in assuming that you run Windows. Just google the others.

Thanks, i was able to compy it into paint and shrink it down from their.

OK, I changed stabistan's flag for me a lil, and no it's just 10 kb to big. I have a mac. I'm using Paintbrush, from the internet free. SO WHAT DO I DO

Where has Jenua gone?

Into that abyss. *Points at a medium-sized hole that doesn't have any apparent end*

Believe me: you'd never want to go in there.

Any flag requests? I'm not as talented as many of the other flag makers here, but I can do some requests.

I've got an order!
One flag, black canton. White Background. A red circle stands in the middle of the canton, not quite touching the sides. Also, three-fourths of the way through, a vertical red stripe runs down.
Another flag, blue background. The blue in question should have a small tinge of purple, but not so much. The same stripe, as on the other one, only white, and a small white "S" one fourth of the way through.
Finally, the last flag has basically the same background, only lighter somewhat. A yellow pentagram (solid, please) placed one third of the way through has a red circle inside of it, and bordering it, too.

It seems like a big order but if you can get me any of these I will be eternally greatful!

Can someone make me a flag please? (Don't mind who). I'd like it like the german flag, except it goes light blue, white, light blue and has 12 gold stars in a circle (like the EU flag) If anyone can do this, thanks very much.

How about this Boico? http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t38/unreal229/boicoflag.png?t=1241263203

North Wiedna,I'm about to have a go at yours.

Thanks, just what I had in mind.

Np, it was quite easy.

North Wiedna, I have done the first two, at least i think this is what you want: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t38/unreal229/NorthWiedna1.png?t=1241265372 and http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t38/unreal229/NorthWiedna2.png?t=1241265471

I'm not sure what you mean by the solid pentagram in the third one. The stuff in the first two is easy to edit if its not right.

Nice flags. If possible, could you make a flag similar to Eslovakias one?

What do you mean similar? your flag atm looks good, theres no need to change it.

These are quite good
