Most of those flags look amazing, but often the colours don't really fit together. The ones for Phobos and Deimos with the Greek letters for example are great, but the colours just don't match.

You should do a contest for redesigning the bad U.S. flags (aka all the states that just have a seal in the middle of blue or something) and if you want to maybe allow for us to change some of the bad territory flags like Guam or the Virgin Islands or...Guantanamo Bay

The unofficial Mars flag has that contrast because of the Mars Trilogy, novels written by Kim Robinson Stanley that narrates a terraforming process of Mars, and each book has its name because of the stage of terraforming that is developed in that novel: Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars. Those are pretty cool books, I totally recommend them!

To be fair, I like my design for Io (which was featured) more than the Europa and Triton flags I made. I loved how menacing it turned out, and is a pretty prominent feature in my other flags (to have interlaced triangles). Also, I didn't make the Charon flag, if anyone was wondering. That is another Ethan.

It's a shame more of the flags didn't work with the mythology. Europa could have had a woman on a bull, for instance, since that's how she was depicted in Greek art, and Ganymede could have referred to a cup, since he was Zeus's cupbearer. If I were to design a flag for Eris, it would, of course, have some sort of golden apple, or perhaps a shape reminiscent of a "K," for "Kallisti," "the prettiest one," which was written on her apple.A few problems with the Charon flags: 1. "Charon" doesn't start with a "c," it starts with a chi, at least in the Greek language it comes from. Since a chi looks like an "x," there could have been designs incorporating a saltire cross. 2. The boat in one of them looks like a Viking boat, not a Greek one. 3. The coin put in the mouths of the dead in Greece to pay Charon wasn't gold, it was silver. For Nyx, "Night", a cool flag would be all black.And while I'm talking about black, why so many flags with "black for space?" Would people have put black in a flag for the Earth, which is also, of course, in space?
@ashlaskash 6 жыл бұрын
At least for me, I chose black for space for the same reason Pacific islands often have blue for the ocean: it ties them together with the flags of their relatives. I figured that half of everybody would have black for space, but instead of thinking of it as a cliché to avoid, I thought of it as a flag family that I could add to.

I just discovered this channel, I'm a fellow vexillology enthusiast. I also enjoy your enthusiasm, the way you geek out when seeing a good flag. Some critical points are the ponies in the background and your hairstyle straight from 1664... you're still young, in a couple of years you'll realise how your looks can change for the better. At least that's what happened for me. I'm just saying this because you have potential to become a heartthrob for instagram browsing girls. Keep up your positive attitude, and your quirky personality though, even as you change in the coming years.
