[Scott of Hyperborea]

Still a bit big.Did you do anything to the text underneath? It looks a bit odd...although maybe that's just because the bigger flag is forcing it onto a different part of the background.

[Ryan]

It's not you, Scott. The edges are a bit choppy. A result, I presume, from shrinking the image whilst retaining the transparency. Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism. I am a vandal.

[Gryphon the Pure]

Nah, I added a bevel filter to the text in Photoshop to make it look more rounded and 3d and such.As for the size of the flag, it's only 20% larger than the original...

*beats you to a bloody pulp*I loved Jasonia with a passion, but if you EVER compare Shireroth to Jasonia again I will personally see to your execution. Understood?

How is comparing flags comparing countries? Besides, the flags were created by the same person.

Flags are symbols of their countries. What we rally behind in troubled times. I assumed you followed the (time honoured ) tradition of trashing a country based on it's flag. My bad.

[Gryphon the Pure]

Speaking of which, does anyone have any clue why we use a 2:3 proportion on height:width with our flags rather than the semi-standard 1:2? Yardistan's and the UAS flags were originally rendered in 1:2, but the Shireroth, Goldshire and Brookshire flags were all 2:3...

Straylight's flag is officially 1:phi (the forum version was reshaped a bit just for the hell of it), and so should be your flags . Jag har glömt hur pjäserna stod!Edited by: Ari Rahikkala at: 5/25/05 15:06

*waves fist at Bill*Hey now, I had a part in designing the Jasonian flag too y'know!And come to think of it, we were gonna put that same eagle of the Menelmacari flag.... Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism. I am a vandal.

Did Menelmacar even have a flag?

[Fax Celestis]

Ugh. The fact that the angles don't line up on the Brookshirian flag irks me. I have a pressing need to do something about it once I start caring. And who would have thought that my fate, it would conjure this twist in the road on which I have wandered?Each vision and dream now completely dismembered, to give one's whole life and find nothing's remembered...And what good is a life that leaves nothing behind? Not a thought or a dream that might echo in time

You put that eagle on there WarVoid? I had no idea! I thought UEC did all the work. Harvey SteffkeSai'Kar's Memories LiveJournal - ranting about Shirerothian issues since fall 2004.

[Ryan]

Yes, I put the eagle on there. Erik designed the rest, IIRC. I recall it was back around the time when we all went on strike for changing the name to Aeronesia. Then when Menelmacar was around, we always got accused of the original eagle being too fascist-looking, so I brought out the same eagle as an alternative. Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism.

I think I had pretty much blocked out the entire name of Aeronesia in my mind. Nowadays I always think it was "FIoJ vs. PRH" rather than "Aeronesia vs. PRH" Speaking of which, it was just Aeronesia, wasn't it? No "Democracy of" or "Republic of"?

Yep, just Aeronesia. A name that could not be summed up like FIoJ or IRS was part of the idea there. Harvey SteffkeSai'Kar's Memories LiveJournal - ranting about Shirerothian issues since fall 2004.
