various Visual Identities make a world convincing

On of the things that helps make an imaginary world look real, are the various symbols, logos, for companies, nations, signs, etc. in use as part of every day life.  I thought it would be interesting to develop some.

I'm starting with flags for the national blocs.  Don't know exactly where they will be used, but opportunities should arise, if they are available.  All this flags are at least a partly original, and should more or less be guessable, if you know the backstory.

Africa: self explanatory.

Asia: Most Asian flags have some sort of sun symbol, and use red.  I did both in a way IMHO that feels Asian.

Europe: a modest evolution of the EU flag.

Islamic Union: Using the colors of many Arab flags, it's reminiscent of the flag of "Organization of the Islamic Conference" and the colonial flag of Arab Revolt.

North America: obvious

Oceania: a monstrous frankenstining of some of the major flags of this national bloc, however it's hard to believe that one of these blocs wouldn't have a committee that came up with an unwieldy flag.  The Southern Cross is still prominently displayed, as is appropriate for these nations.

Russia:  mostly the same.  added a star... because.

South America:  A revolutionary looking design using colors in most south american flags.

also refined medic symbol.

I've created all these as SVGs, so they can be scaled and used in any situation.  I'd recommend creating a folder in the trunk somewhere for graphics like these that aren't used directly by the game but are useful for creating various in-game content.


Other useful symbols/logos (which i haven't made yet):
* a PHALANX symbol
* symbols for a few multinational conglomerates (fictional)
* biohazard
* warning: deadly stuff
* top secret
* cryptic symbols found on alien stuff
* ranks (currently low res pixel in trunk)

BTAxis:
Great job on the flags. I like.

Note that we don't have an "Islamic Union", it's the "Middle-Eastern Alliance". Flag still works for me, though.

Winter:
Wow, that's some damned nice work. The only two I don't love at first sight are the America and Oceania flags. The America one just doesn't work, in my opinion, and there are far too many countries in Oceania to be able to make a coherent combination flag.

By the way, we already have a PHALANX symbol of sorts -- it's in SVN somewhere, crossed golden spears over a gold circle.

Regards,
Winter
