That's what I said - I don't see a connection except in the most superficial manner. I think the concern over similarity with the Confederate battle flag isn't justified.
 
It think Dis ment Fluttering, you know the 3D look.

Shaitan, the more I look at it, the more it takes on it's own character, seperate from the Confederate flag. Maybe making the lower left quadrent a lighter shade of red than the others, Like the peace flag, might make it look better.

What about this (I hope this works - I haven't tried to post an atachment before). The text (Vis Unita Fortior) is latin for "united strength is stronger" (I know this cause its the moto of my football club (soccor for you guys in the US and Canada).

Darn you ruined my idea ;) i was gonna add a star to the bars with each new province :D Just Kidding, I was gonna add stars but not there. Decide how you guys want the flags, war flag especially cuz i think the flag with three diffrent bg colors should be our peace-time flag

Shaitan I like your flag. What about combining that with my moto?
That's Fionn's flag. I just reposted it to avoid confusion over which one I was talking about. ;)

I think it's a great motto. Perhaps on a draped banner? Fionn, can you do something like that with it?
 
Sorry i took the wrong lag in my post... didnt notice it was 3 colors though before :-)
I second fionns as peace-one, maybe fionn could also do a hq-war-one out of my idea an his raw-file ;-)

I think we should add the motto somewhere... but it will be hard to find a place without overloading the flag... maybe a 4 word motto would be better, as it would fit in the diagonal blue cross.

And yes, i meant the 3d look ;-)

And no, i cant use anything else than PSP :-(
 
What about "The will of the people should be supreme law"?
Any1 to translate this?
Would fit for us ;-)
 
Perfect IMHO.

Now if we get a motto it would:
if 4 words fit into the blue diagonal bars
if 6 words fit into the colored triangles.

if we find a war motto with 6 and a peacetime motto with 8 words, it would fit best for both flags ;-)

i need a latin-english translator :-P
 
I tried to put in a lighter Red and it didn't look right so I went ahead with the Yellow idea instead, I want to know what you think of it. (Obviously I'd request Fionn to make a "good" copy, since he seems to be very good at this).

Here's a darker version

And a brighter version

EDIT: Or Fionn is just better with color matching than I am as his above post seems to suggest.
 
if then definitely the upper one. as the lower one looks, well, much too "neon" for an ancient empire ;-)
 
what about:
"the world shall prostrate before us"
as a war motto
and
"the will of the populace shall be our highest law"
as a peace motto?

any latin-translators here?
 
Personally yellow would look funny, kinda like the flag is on fire or something. But ill give it a shot.

Ouch. No. Never words on the body of the flag. Diagonal bars, maybe. Never on the body. More typical is a sylized, draped banner.

I vote against the yellow. Shades of red look just fine and it gives a continuity to the peacetime flag.
 
I think I agree, No yellow.
