This poll was created to help us determine the look of our new nation's flag. This will probably be a preliminary poll, with at least one run-off poll later. Please vote for one of the following 9 options.

This poll will be open for 3 days, or to the start of the Creation Day chat, whichever comes first.

Discussion can be found here. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=2035048&postcount=1)

This is not a mulyiple choice poll.

Oh, shoot! There goes my 100%!

It sure is nice to be the first one to vote. It looks so good to have 100% agreement. :D

Yeah, whenever that happens to me, I get a feeling of personal pride.

Go Crazy Flag!

Though I'd rather it be made more flag shaped and have "DG5" taken out. A country doesn't really need to put its name in the flag. ;)

This is a very close race so far.

Everyone take some time to look at the more mundane things, like Constitutional Articles needing passage, too.

Can someone please tell me how a microscopic picture of capillaries represents the nation of Japanatica? :confused:

Nice work, GeZe, but the fact that #137 is getting so much support has me astounded. In contrast, #129b embodies several facets of the Japanese culture, and fills this Japanatican with a strong sense of civic pride.

Vote 129b!!

137 does not so much embody Japanese culture for me, as it does Japanatica culture.

True, 137 represents Japanatica more than Japan. Aren't we playing as Japanatica?

Oh, and I voted for 129b.

Congrats to the creator of 129b :goodjob: , and all of your supporters. It really is a great flag. Long may it wave!

(Sorry, I can't remember who made this flag, and I can't look it up right now.)

Is it just me, or is 129b just a wee bit off-center?

Vizurok

I think it was designed to be off-centered...
Am I right?

Not a wee bit off center, and it must be intentionnal.

Yes, you're right. The winner of this poll and our new nation's flag, 129b was designed after the original Rising Sun flag, and was positioned off center.

Is it just me, or is 129b just a wee bit off-center?It is based on the Japanese Naval flag, which is supposed to have it's sun off-center. It was actually fairly dificult to accomplish that, while still having the Katana's and the rays looking nice.

Chieftess:

Can you make this flag a bit more flag-like ?

Like you did this one: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/DG5_CT_flag_v2_small.gif

It should also be extended to the right, so its flag shaped instead of square.

(unforunately, I can't make it transparent without using a gif, which tends to distort images...)

Not to critisize you, CT, but the wavy-flag is ugly. Just look at the Katana's now. I suppose making the flag more flag-like is a bad idea. :eek:

I know the katanas are curvy. What do you expect a piece of cloth to do? ;)
