Just saw this wrong Saudi flag on a price tag with a palm instead of the words. I assume that they can't display the holy writing, but I am not sure.

OC Hikikomori flag

Post image
173 Upvotes

I have designed a flag and a symbol for hikikomori - people who live in social isolation.

The color black signifies a rejection of participation in society.

The color white represents purity and a commitment to the hikikomori way of life.

The black circle is a reference to the red circle on the flag of Japan.

Fictional The Loving Rainbow of Pernambuco: a pride remix of the flag (Brazil)

Post image

I always loved the Pernambuco flag, and had the feeling it had a great potential for a LGBT flag.

So now here it is, I replaced the rainbow for a LGBT one and the cross that is restrictive for a heart ❤️, more universal, I hope you like it!

OC Prometheus & the Rocket: I designed a flag for Left-Accelerationism (L/Acc) with some color variations

Thumbnail
gallery
39 Upvotes

L/Acc (Left-Wing Accelerationism) is a political philosophy that advocates for pushing rapid technological progress and automation to their absolute limits and "hijacking"/reclaiming them to achieve a post-scarcity society and emancipate humanity from mandatory labor.

The flag shows Prometheus (the core symbol of techno-humanism and democratization of technology) hitching a ride on a rocket. This is a visual metaphor for reclaiming technological progress to liberate humanity instead of letting it go rogue against it. Prometheus captures the raw technological power to spread it equitably, lighting the way so everyone can catch up and move forward together.

Note: I don"t necessarily adhere to L/Acc myself; I just thought it'd be fun to make a flag for it

I don’t know anything about flags but i thought they were really cool and wanted to see about how old they are!

Edit: these are small flags (maybe obvious) the union jack (?) is like 15x13 and the other one is 12x11

Identify I found this in the attic, what is it?

It was found in a French-Canadian historically rich home, with other museum-esque old flags. Lots of military and proposition flags, but this one, I can't find exact matches.

From descriptions, it might be a 1905 proposal by Henri Lesieur, but I can't confirm this. And it's said that it was never actually made of it's that one.

Looking for identification, and almost debating selling it.

Fictional Redesigned flag of Rudalta (Rudolta)

Post image
3 Upvotes

I changed the appearance of the flag from the original, not essentially the Confederate flag, but with a different symbol; regardless, this flag has a similar ornamental pattern to Belarus but more original, placed between the stripes. The white represents unity, the red the sacrifice of the people, and the central cross shows the industry of the nation, with the symbol in the middle cross being a homage to the people's culture, making the flag distinct from all the other nations it borders.

Today the flag of Paraíba is very different from the flag of Pernambuco.

OC RimWorld Rough Pig Union Flag

Post image
3 Upvotes

An original flag I whipped up to represent the Rough Pig Union faction from RimWorld - Biotech. They are a nation of industrial, chauvinistic and militant pigskins (a race of genetically modified humans with pig-like characteristics). The central symbol is reminiscent of a pig's snout and is meant to have a fascist vibe, while the blue represents their in-game faction color.

I think it turned out very well!
