We have this. It's the data_source branch. SVN path:

Ah, i missed that.
--- Quote from: Winter on February 09, 2008, 01:03:15 pm ---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.

The North America flag seems pretty clever to me (i can say that 'cause i got the idea elsewhere), a little over-complex, but highly reminiscent of all 3 flags.
But you're right about Oceania. I can't stand it today either.
New Oceania flag: The big star is know as the "star of commonwealth" in the Australian and NZ flags. The vertical bars represent "diversity" (displaying most of the colors in commonwealth flags), and the constellation still represents the "southern cross".

Ok, i wondered what that was for... but really it's looks like a medal. It's not really graphic enough to be used as an insignia. Perhaps a more graphic version of that concept.

I love most of the flag proposed here
I like Africa and Asia best, and the simpler Oceania flag with the South Cross
The GEU flag should stay the same as the current one, because the 12 stars represent unity and completion (see the significance of the number 12)
BTAxis:
There are 12 stars in the ring, and the one in the center is a different size, so it's clear it's not part of the 12. I think the symbolism is adequately preserved. The star in the center could well symbolize something else. More importantly, I think it's a good thing to use a different flag, because it enhances the feeling that this is 80 years in the future.
