I'd rather wait until we're a bit further along before doing a flag myself.

Right now we only have a couple dozen active people, and how many are artists?

Countries have thousands of options to draw on, not under a dozen.
No, countries "rip-off" each others flags all the time!

The flags are definately different enough to be considered distinct. Do you mind if I use this flag in an Autfinity Project I'm working on?

sure i guess. what kind of project is it?

I'm working on a modification for the game Hearts of Iron II to have Autfinity as a playable country. All the ministers and military leaders and most of the tech teams are Autistic and all worked out :smile:

I still don't think it's a good idea to do a flag as of yet but I'm not going to presuade anybody.

But if this was to be created on fabric in general every colour costs money, as such I think we should avoid gradients and things like that, maybe a similar ish design could be created which would use say a maximum of 3 maybe at absolute peak 4 individual colours (shades of a colour = new colur (is new ink thus new colour cost wise))?[/img]

Those are the only ones that don't give me a headache from looking at them for extended periods of time (The two on this page do quite litterally I mean. I tend to get that from any bright color patterns on a computer screen though. . .).

Prefer the second myself, and can see how it could have the gradient removed fairly easily into a few-colored bars.

May submit a couple of my own.
I'd given up on trying to submit flags to things because I can't do drawings on a computer (like the eagle on Mexico's flag), can't scan the hand-drawn flags I do properly (though now it might actually work sinc eI know how to ink thinks) and nobody seems to like my symmetrical fireworks-drawn flags ones.  These though are all computer generated and largely symmetrical so I might try one here.

Edit: Oh, and a lot of flags have well over six colors, like Massachusetts, Guatemala, and Mexico, with tiny logos on the front.  So color's likely not that much of an isuue I'd guess.  Gradient would be a pain though most likely.

Cool   I like Amy's second blue one best.  Very cool colors (blue is one of my favorites :grin: ), and I like how it gives an oceanic feel.
Unfortunately, if the thing about the colors is true, we probably won't be using that one, at least not without severely modifying it.  So, my second choice is the double suns infinity sign, which is also very cool.

I'd make one myself, but I'm not even close to good at this sort of thing.

I hope we can have a flag that's cheerful without offending people's color-tolerance.  I did wonder about this design aspect having noticed how many aspies love color/design-busy websites, designs, even rooms (you should see my office!) and how many other aspies have issues with these kinds of designs giving them a headache or dizzy or etc.

I think it has more to do with the computer (and to a lesser extent on the Imperial Japan one the spiraly-like pattern), than the colors themselves.

I can look at pretty pictures in parrot magazines without issue, however when I see bright patterns on the intenet (like those pop-up ads), I get headaches.

I wonder: are you and the others using flat screen (LCD) or the TV-like ones (CRT?) :?:
Because i have seen where things like eye-fatigue were much more bothersome on CRT screens, for people I know.  So why not colors.

This is totally a tangent but I'm just curious.

Laptop.

So flat screen.

I find the laptop to be worse on my eyes than old computers were actually, but maybe that's just me.

Here is my attempt:



I am hoping someone could maybe tell me how to reduce the # of colors without the weird things that happen with the "posterize" feature in MS Image Manager.  Or I can send you the PNG file for you to fix it.

This is my first attempt with VECTORS and I am proud of the fact it turned out decent.

Pretty, and simple.

Depsite the bright colors, it's not headachy either.
