Flags for faction founders, open to requests!

18 Flags for Faction Founders

DOWNLOAD: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4sxtybg5nc650cz/Flags_for_founders.zip?dl=0



I got frustrated with having to choose from flags that all had very similar colour tones. So after editing these to make them available in game, I decided to share.
Most of these have been... directly inspired from /r/vexillology/ or generated online. Please do go and peruse the mystical realm of flag history & design at https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/ !

UPDATE: I have added some more flags and am now opening up to requests! Please feel free to upload or link an image for me to add to this collection.
I'd like it if it had some kind of source so that I can name it but that's not necessary but please, please, please, please, please make it flag shaped. Otherwise it may not be able to be edited properly!

Can I just say how excruciatingly nerve wracking it is trying not to miss out the "l" in flags.  :-X

I have added six more flags! These are sourced from the same location so do please check that out!
I am now open to requests! Please leave a link with an image and tell me a little bit about your flag!
I will be more than happy to add it to the collection for use in Starsector! =)

And er, Sorry about the cheap joke...

I could certainly do that if you're sure.

Just as a note though, that download link isn't working on that post. You've managed to quote the link or something ending up with:
http://"https://1drv.ms/u/s!At-zPv0cZTn6ikItZIZ8W1blkAgH?e=20K4h5"
Where as you only need:

Yes, most definitely. (I really only made it so people who wanted to add their own flags could use it as a baseline. And to take requests, which this one fulfils without extra work for me :P)
And I've seen that happen before, but I don't know where or how. Somehow it drops the colon in the address which borks everything.

I remember some flag for Mars from Nasa that resemble Soviet Union, i thinks it's gonna be good. Also Pearsean League should feel like more eastern asian i think, like the name of major navy in the past like Mayasura. So it's probably a good idea too to make flag similar design real life flag from these region.

That reddit had a star wars themed flag competition, which might be fitting for the space theme of starsector.

Nice ^^

Reminded me of a TED Talk on the subject for future reference. Even more relevant since a lot of the colonies seem to be (extended) city-states in a way.

"TED Talk - Why city flags may be the worst-designed thing you've never noticed | Roman Mars" (sic.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnv5iKB2hl4

For the book (pamphlet?) he refers to: "Good Flag, Bad Flag"
