Development > Artwork
various Visual Identities make a world convincing
Winter:
I like your Asian and African flags, but the Middle-East flag doesn't do anything for me. It's too busy and fragmented.
The flags aren't set in stone yet, so if you really think you can improve on what we've got then you're quite welcome. The Asian one is definitely better than what we had before so I wouldn't mind replacing that one. The African one is a toss-up, I also quite like the old one.
Our need for revamped GUI artwork is also quite pressing, do you think there's anything you could do on that score?
Regards,
Winter
Mattn:
our other flag images are released under "GNU General Public License 2.0 or later" is that ok for you, too?

As I said elsewhere, the flags were done before I knew what the others looked like. I'm partial to the old African flag as well, as it uses pretty much the same concept as mine.
Not sure about the GUI, what exactly are you looking for in that regard.

No problem on my behalf.

Pitching a couple more flags:
Revolutionary Countries: Used the colors of the flag of Gran Colombia, the country the liberator of the Spanish colonies in South America, Simon Bolivar, ruled. Hugo Chavez, for instance, sees his socialist revolution as a continuation of Bolivar's struggle, and I'm postulating so would the modern revolutionary countries (besides incorporating former non-Spanish colonies).
Commonwealth of Oceania: I tried something that moved away from the seven pointed star, as that's largely exclusively Australian. The globe is from the original commonwealth flag, as is the blue partial circle, which represents the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The southern cross gets used by a couple other Oceanian flags, so I included that as well.
Greater European Union: I basically used the same design as the previous one except that the stars are centered again and the colors are the official ones, because the others were off, as someone noticed.

Hi UM, here's my take on your new flags:

I like it, but it's too busy and lacks the simple punchiness of the old flag. I think you'd have a tough time improving on that design.

This is nice, I approve.

Good improvement, however I liked the design slightly off-centre as most of the other flags have centred designs. Can you move it slightly to the left?
