Fictional Flag of the United States if Québec became the 51st state and took over the country from within
Truly the best timeline.
So Québec succeeds where Alberta failed yesterday and somehow gains their independence, and then they immediately start negotiations with the Americans to join as a new state. Once they're in, they masterfully convince the federal government to station all their nukes on Québecan soil to protect them from the super dangerous country of Canada. Once Québec has all the nukes, they threaten armageddon if the rest of the US and Canada doesn't become subservient to them. This plan works flawlessly and now schoolchildren across the continent are forced to learn French (revenge for Règlement 17).
The stars on the flag are replaced with 60 fleurs-de-lys representing the 60 states under the Québecan yoke (I guess Québec and DC swap roles, but QC keeps all the power). I also kept the 13 stripes because I couldn't think of any other historically significant number for Québec that wouldn't make the flag look hideous.
Just a story to justify recreating a flag from this post but with more fleurs-de-lys⚜️
Here is the base file I used for the 60-star pattern: link

Redesigns redesign of the South African flag
the flags of the African Union, which symbolizes the white population of South Africa, and the world flag of the Black population were taken as the basis. In the Center, you can also see the coat of arms on which the antelope is located, which is considered the national animal of South Africa and it is divided into 6 colors, where each color is from the opposite part of the background, which symbolizes the Inherent Connection between the races that keeps the country from falling apart

Redesigns Day 109 of making flags for Kentucky: Spencer
Today's flag is for Spencer County which was founded in 1824 and named after Captain Spier Spencer who died at Tippecanoe. The county ran off agriculture and river trade through steamboats. Like many counties the courthouse was burned down during the civil war by Confederate guerillas.
The flag I made has blue for the river, white for the steam from the boats, and a fire for the fires that both burned the courthouse but also that fueled the boats.
Hope y'all enjoy.

OC Pariah Flag
My original flag design for pariahs of any kind.
First, a pariah is defined as "one that is despised or rejected" by Merriam Webster. Also as "an outcast" or "any person or animal that is generally despised or avoided." on Dictionary.com.
Black: Symbolizes total social death due to rejection, and the depth of shame, regret, remorse, depression, grief, loss, humiliation, and embarrassment. Also represents feelings of uncertainty, and fears about the afterlife and what may or may not come after. The darkness is literal - what comes next? Lastly, when you hide your hands with your face, you mostly/only see darkness. Night time and early morning is also dark, and may provide relief as most people are not active during this time, creating a sort of celestial blank slate or judgement-free zone.
White: The colour of the feather of Ma'at, which is used to weigh one's heart against in order to determine if they lived well enough for passage into heavenly paradise. For pariahs and anyone feeling shame, it represents the purity, uprightness, innocence, and goodness that is impossible to attain. White is used the way green is instead - capturing feelings of envy towards good people, creating contrast that's not only visual, but symbolic as well.
Border: Isolation - Becoming a shut-in of any kind, representative of time spent self-isolating. It's safety within the walls. For NEETs, shut-ins, recluses, hikikomori, and anyone in between.
Bindle: A symbol representing having nowhere to call home. Departure, drifting, and leaving due to being kicked/pushed out. Also symbolizes exclusion, vulnerability, living life as somewhat of a nomad, and loneliness. Can also be more literal for homeless, poor, or low-income individuals. Something only the powerless would carry.
Text: "Judged and Soulless" in Latin - Being seen as soulless or inhuman in general by yourself and others. Direct reference to heart weighing and judgement process of the ancient Egyptian goddess Ammit, as well as judgement from others on any scale, as explained here:
"After the declarations are recited, their heart is weighed. If the heart weighed less than the feather of Ma'at, the deceased was ruled to be pure. Thoth recorded the result and Osiris would allow the deceased to continue their voyage toward Aaru and immortality. If the heart was heavier than the feather of Ma'at, the deceased was deemed impure. Ammit would devour their heart, leaving the deceased without a soul. Ancient Egyptians believed the soul would become restless forever, dying a second death. Instead of living in Aaru, the soulless individual would be stuck in Duat."
