Do you like it? The words mean (top) The Hu'fievren Knows, (Left) He Knows You, (Right) He Knows Zolony, and (bottom) He Knows All in ancient Zolonic.

You know, this is fun. If anyone wants me to do a custom flag for them, tell me. I'll tell you if I can do it or not then, if I can, I'll make it.

It looks a little too much like Tri's flag, right?

Not symetric. Also, I would replace the words with simple symbols, and make the diagonal lines more bold.

Meh, its not as much the non symetrical part of it but the colors dont really look good together like that.

Whatever, I like it. Oh, and it's intentionally not symtrical. You're supposed to see it with the left being closer, at an angle almost.

:lol:

I just flat-out can't spell. In school, Math, History, and Science come easy, but English (Grammar, and spelling) is just a pain. The one thing worse then spelling is MLA-format.

MLA-format just makes me want to nuke someone. We need a "yell" smilie!!!

It looks like a photo negative of some gay flag, you know - pink triangle??

Outside of that, it doesn't inspire. I have new flags for most of my countries too.

MLA Format is a complete waste of time. It is a specific way to write a paper for class that no one will ever use after they get out of hs/college.

Link to example...

If my boss asks me to type something in MLA, I will walk out the door and never come back. Talking about it makes me mad!!!!



The flag reminds me of an optical illusion. If you stare at it for awile, the black part looks like the flying through space screen saver!!! Weird!!!

Ah, MLA format, i.e. Modern Language Association Format. That's the easy one. At work, we are expected to use the University of Chicago style sheet, but we have templates, so its a no-brainer. I'm very used to following one style or another (having majored in English Lit) and it really isn't as bad as it sounds. Oh, and yes, when you get to work, you WILL be expected to write things up in one format or another, because some bozo at your company with nothing better to do will bring in some project methodology (Productivity Plus, or Six Sigma are examples) that will force you to fill out forms that don't even apply to what you are doing. You shrug it off, and thank God the checks clear the bank!!

Oh, and wait till you are asked to Gantt Chart a project!!

EDIT: what do you guys think of my flags? I think they are a little bit too cluttered but I can't decide how to fix that... I like all the parts of em and don't wanna get rid of anything...

I like your flag Quaon, if you changed up the color scheme slightly, like maybe making the top quarter red and if you made up some symbols instead of writing for the words it would be really awesome.

I really like the green and black eagle flag. It has a nice Ancient Aztec "vibe" about it.

Quaon, I remade your flag and you can use it if you want. I couldn't read the bottom words so forgive me if they are wrong. Here ya go:

Without the words
Posted Image

With the words
Posted Image

What do you think? Do you like em? Do you want me to change em? Or should I just butt out and mind my own business?

EDIT: Quaon, I posted the flags in .png so you can edit them easily. In case I just spelled it wrong but you like the wayI did the words, the font I used was Papyrus, color black, size 14.

BTW, thanks TC, aztec is just what i was going for. :D
