Custom flags

Re: Custom flags

I really think that our current flag doesn't do our nation justice. It's too simple and its colors are really open for interpretation. They're just the colors of Kilikia, except they changed the yellow to orange because it fits better with the rest. I think that's lame. We have nice colors, let's put them to good use and give meaning to our flag. I think the design I made is perfect, it does justice to our entire history (I like to think of Ararat in the center as Urartu ). Look at the flags of Serbia and Croatia and compare them to their coat of arms. If they could compromise simplicity for looks, why can't we?

I agree with you there. And here are some more historic flags for pondering.

Re: Custom flags

Well this design seems to be the popular one so far but i liked it better centered. I looked on google but did not find much options there for more ideas. This is kind of a fun project maybe if we keep at it we can create something really cool.

Re: Custom flags

Go back 2 pages, you should see a bunch of them, all centered. I dunno, I kind of agree with Federate on this one, I prefer the off-centered version better.

Re: Custom flags

Ooo i like that one to. Maybe centered would look better but it has Ararat and both the armenian lion and the eagles.

My eagle was just for fun. I personally think this is the best.

Re: Custom flags

I dont know if a eagle is the right choice for us. Maybe a monument or some geographic feature like a mountain or something which would give our flag a more Armenian look, there are so many eagles in other countries flags/coat of arms.

Re: Custom flags

Speaking of eagles, how's this one?



Just typed "cool eagle" in google and found this, added the cross and voilą!

Re: Custom flags

I agree on both counts. The Republican Party's flag/emblem is pretty badass. I wish we could incorporate it somehow into our flag. SevSpitak, can you give it a shot ?

Sure.
