"Becker", which can be found of Flaming Text.Oh...and although we are, indeed, really great, I still think that flag is too big.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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

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.
