I think the color scheme and star motif are good, but I feel like there are WAY too many stars and stripes, feels very overcrowded. Here's my design for a better version
somehow you got 30 people here to upvote the american flag. not falling for it.
:hexbear-shining: then get your shit together and drown it out by posting dope flags, rookie
US flag is one of the very few things that can be improved by making it 100% white
make the background behind the stars red
also makes the stars red
then make the white stripes redEvery aesthetic thing of the US state is bad. Flag? Trash. National Anthem? Garbage. Neo Classical architecture? Shit. Constitution? Sewage. Infrastructure ? Crumbling. Emblem? Piss
An anthem has to be easy enough that a crowd of drunken sports fans/soldiers/revolutionaries can easily sing it in tune. The SSB is the complete opposite. You have to be a really exceptional singer to hit those high notes and awkward intervales and that's just elitist crap. The SSB is made to be listened to and that's why it's shit. Also it has pro slavery verses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI7nhSIuHg4
That's why our songs are the goats, the Internationale, La Marseillaise and the USSR national anthem.
Replace stripes with rainbow.
Replace each star with the symbol of a different Communist tendency. Hammer&Sickle, A, Yellow Star, Wheat&Gear, Nuke&Dolphin, Icepick, Hexabear...
maybe not a rainbow but polychromatic? Like a "color picker" but not circular?
Something like this: https://i2.wp.com/www.cssscript.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/iro.js.png?fit=471%2C352&ssl=1
I saw this design a long time ago. Unfortunately I've forgotten the source. I think it looks pretty good, maybe even do away with the stripes and have the emblem centered on a red flag.
united states of america -> united socialist states of america
bam easy next country
leaving references to colonists and genocidiers in the name of the country seems pretty shit to me.
The version with vertical stripes under stars, and centered emblem is pretty dope
Any flag that can't be drawn well by a 7 year old is bad. This is bad too. Call it the "kindergarten test"
Remove the part with the stars, then simplify it down to five stripes instead of thirteen, then make those stripes blue, pink, white, pink. and blue, in that order.
I see, the “12 year old alternate history mapper on YouTube” approach
The idea was to depict an ideal future. Though that would actually be no states or corporations imo.
Add fire
Edit: ah shit ah fuck I'm like the fifth person to make that joke. Doesn't make it any less true though
This flag is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This is not a flag of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular arrangement of socioeconomic relations vis á vis wage labor and the means of production
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of terrible news programs hosted by insufferable bourgeois hacks.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially engage with the aforementioned propaganda. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
