VexiWiki flag with swirl
A possible design for the flag of VexiWiki. It is exactly the same as the current flag, except for the added swirl in the white area. Designed by Bethel23, building upon the earlier design by FlagFreak
Symbolism
The added swirl represents the wind.
Comments
- Neutral
I like the swirl, as it gives the flag extra identity and makes it different to other flags, but that is just my opinion. User:Bethel23/Sig 21:38, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Has now been superceded by other designs. User:Bethel23/Sig 08:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral I also like the swirl (a lot), but it does add a fourth colour, and I think the best flags have three or fewer colours. But that swirl is an inspiration. -FlagFreak (talk) 00:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose I really like the concept of the swirl, but I don't think it doesn't look like a natural addition to this design to me --Karsten vK (talk) 19:30, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
VexiWiki flag with swirl in stripes
A possible design for the flag of VexiWiki. It uses the same colours as the current flag, but in three stripes, and with a swirl in the white stripe. Designed by Bethel23, building upon the earlier design by FlagFreak.
Symbolism
The swirl represents the wind, and the colours exactly the same thing as the current flag.
Comments
- Weak Support
I think this is better as long as you want the swirl as the centerpiece. User:Bethel23/Sig 09:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- Has now been superceded by other designs. User:Bethel23/Sig 08:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Weak support I like the swirl being the main element, but there are still four colours. Also, the swirl is a bit tiny. -FlagFreak (talk) 00:15, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
VexiWiki flag with bigger swirl in stripes
A possible design for the flag of VexiWiki. Exactly the same as above, except the swirl is bigger. Designed by Bethel23, based upon orignal design by FlagFreak.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- Oppose Nothing against the swirl idea, but there are too many turns on this spiral. Also, reasons above. -FlagFreak (talk) 00:16, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose Other designs are better. User:Bethel23/Sig 08:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Swallowtail with swirl in pile
A swallowtailed flag design. A sky blue background with an isosceles right pile coloured white on the hoist. In the centre of the pile is a black three-turned spiral. Designed by FlagFreak on December 25, 2008, inspired by designs by Bethel23.
Symbolism
The sky blue represents the sky, where flags fly. The white represents the coulds in the sky where flag fly. The spiral is from Bethel23's previous flag designs, representing the wind that helps the flags fly. The letters V and X of VexiWiki are hidden in the design.
Comments
Oppose It isn't symetrical. A swirl on the other side of the blue bit would make it look better. User:Bethel23/Sig 07:58, 26 December 2008 (UTC)- Weak Support Having just looked at the logo designs, I actually think this looks very interesting. It is certainly a bit unusual! My only problem is that it is very unusual, possibly over-the-top? I really, really like how it looks on the logo, though! Do you think the swirl could either 1) a bit bigger or 2) less width on the lines, because on the logo (which is where most people are going to see it) you can't really see its shape clearly. One other problem is that the blue shape is not really symetrical and looks a bit odd. Is there a way you could make this a "normal" shape? User:Bethel23/Sig 08:01, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Bicolour with swirl
A bicolour with a white stripe and a sky-blue stripe, with a swirl in the center. Designed by Bethel23, building upon earlier designs by FlagFreak.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- Weak support Loving the bicolour, but it looks a bit boring, and the two bright colours don't contrast too well in the background. -FlagFreak (talk) 16:41, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral Boring. User:Bethel23/Sig 08:35, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Bicolour with two swirls
A bicolour with a white stripe and a sky-blue stripe, with a swirl in the center of each stripe. Designed by Bethel23, building upon earlier designs by FlagFreak.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- Weak oppose You are getting sleeeeeepy... -FlagFreak (talk) 18:06, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral Boring. User:Bethel23/Sig 08:36, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Bicolour with white triangle area with swirl
A bicolour with a sky-blue stripe and a blue stripe, with a white triangle are on the left, with a swirl inside the white triangle. Designed by Bethel23, based upon earlier designs by FlagFreak.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
Support I know you don't like four colours, but I think this is really good. It is similar to your design, with a triangle area, and is really, really good! So, do you like it? If you really don't think four colours is a good idea, I suggest you change the bottom blue stripe to the same blue colour as the stripe above. It is my favourite design of all the ones displayed on this page. User:Bethel23/Sig 09:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
I have just seen Hellerick's design, and am now wondering whether this flag would look good with a sky-blue swirl? Hmmm...User:Bethel23/Sig 14:43, 26 December 2008 (UTC)- I have now uploaded a version of this flag with a sky-blue swirl. See what you make of it. User:Bethel23/Sig 19:06, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Weak support Looks totally awesome, but it's still four colours. :S -FlagFreak (talk) 16:42, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Sky-blue swirl
A sky-blue swirl comes into upper three-striped half, the bottom half is dark blue. Designed by Hellerick.
Symbolism
See above. (Wind blows a flag)
Comments
- Neutral Interesting, and quite good, but is it recognisable as a flag? It looks more like a logo, rather than a flag.User:Bethel23/Sig 13:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- VexiWiki is not a nation, it's a kind of an organization, and I think its flag is okay to look like a flag of an organization (logo on plain background) — Hellerick 13:41, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Have a look at the squared off version which I designed. What do you think? I prefer it, personally, but I do take your point. My point is that the current logo is a flag, and is recognisable as such, but I think the below includes both points quite nicely. User:Bethel23/Sig 14:29, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose If this were a logo design page, this would be a Strong support, but as Bethel23 said, it looks more like a logo than a flag. But it is still a very neat design! -FlagFreak (talk) 16:44, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Comment The design is absolutely fabulous; but I'd have to agree with that it is more of a logo than an actual flag. And though we are an "organisation" I'd say an organisation that specifically deals with vexillology should have an actual flag as its emblem. --Karsten vK (talk) 19:36, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Sky-blue swirl squared off
A sky-blue swirl comes into upper three-striped half, with each stripe going to the edge of the rectangle. Lower half dark blue, also going to the edge of the rectangle. Designed by Bethel23 using the earlier design by Hellerick, who used the colours that FlagFreak had used.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- Weak support Having squared the design off, this looks a lot better, and I think that I do support it. However, I prefer the Bicolour with white triangle area with blue swirl better, but we'll see what FlagFreak and Villa Cruoninga say. This is my second favourite design displayed on this page, after the one just mentioned. Maybe you could make the Bicolour with white triangle area with blue swirl a sky-blue swirl? Which would also nicely eliminate the usage of four colours. User:Bethel23/Sig 14:26, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Weak support Agree with Bethel23. -FlagFreak (talk) 16:45, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Sky-blue swirl surrounded with blue
A sky-blue stripe emerges from a swirl, surrounded by blue field. Designed by Hellerick.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- I'm afraid I don't know how to combine my swirl with triangular area. — Hellerick 17:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral -FlagFreak (talk) 18:03, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral I prefer the one above, and the bicolour with triangle area. User:Bethel23/Sig 18:27, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Support I really like this one; I'm still a bit curious on whether it wouldn't look better with the azure bar turned into stripes again... --Karsten vK (talk) 19:45, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Swirl in thick centre stripe in symmetrical horizontal tricolour
A symmetrical horizontal tricolour of sky blue, white, and sky blue. The central white stripe is twice as thick as one of the other stripes. In the centre hoist is a dark blue spiral shape with three turns. Designed by FlagFreak with inspiration from designs from Bethel23 and Hellerick.
Symbolism
The spiral represents the wind. The light blue and white represent the sky. The spiral is placed the the centre hoist, the most visible section of a flag.
Comments
- Neutral Good, but I prefer 3 or 4 other designs better. User:Bethel23/Sig 09:38, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Bicolour with white triangle area with blue swirl
A bicolour with a sky-blue stripe and a blue stripe, with a white triangle are on the left, with a sky-blue swirl inside the white triangle. Designed by Bethel23, based upon earlier designs by FlagFreak and Hellerick.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- Support My favourite. User:Bethel23/Sig 18:40, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- See bottom of page for my favourite design now. I still support this one. User:Bethel23/Sig 14:34, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Comment This one look good, but I personally like Hellericks Sky-blue swirl-series more. I also think that turning the swirl azure rather than black gives that colour a bit of the upper hand here, but from what I've read FlagFreak wouldn't like adding black ;) --Karsten vK (talk) 19:53, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Support Very, very nice design. Aesthetic, simple, and symbolic. Great designing, Bethel! :-D -FlagFreak (talk) 23:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Bicolour with white triangle area and tricolour swirl
A bicolour with a sky-blue stripe and a blue stripe, with a white triangle area on the left, charged with a tricolour swirl. Designed by Hellerick, based upon earlier designs by FlagFreak and Bethel23.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- No "upper hands", no black — Hellerick 05:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Weak support I prefer the one just above, but probably this is my second or third favourite. User:Bethel23/Sig 08:41, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- See bottom of page. User:Bethel23/Sig 20:50, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I think this design would look better if you removed the white bit inside the swirl. User:Bethel23/Sig 17:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Support My favourite thus far :) --Karsten vK (talk) 14:15, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Wow, the first Strong support! I too love the swirls and the colours, but there might be a bit too much of them. However, the design looks amazing! -FlagFreak (talk) 16:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- I completely agree, I was thinking that myself. The new version is coming. — Hellerick 18:45, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Bicolour with white triangle area and bicolour swirl
A bicolour with a sky-blue stripe and a blue stipe with a white triangle are on the left, charged with a bicolour swirl of sky-blue and dark blue. Designed by Bethel23, based on designs by FlagFreak and Hellerick.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- Hopefully this removes the problem with the "upper hand" - although possibly it looks a bit messy? User:Bethel23/Sig 16:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- I have improved it slightly - still looks a bit messy compared to yours though! User:Bethel23/Sig 16:57, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Would somebody like to have a go at making the dark blue swirl look, er, correct on this design? I have tried and can't seem to make it do what I want it to do! User:Bethel23/Sig 17:45, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- I have improved it slightly - still looks a bit messy compared to yours though! User:Bethel23/Sig 16:57, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- It looks like a typographic flaw. — Hellerick 16:53, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Bicolour with white triangle area and tricolour swirl, smaller number of coils
A bicolour with a sky-blue stripe and a blue stripe, with a white triangle area on the left, charged with a tricolour swirl. Designed by Hellerick, based upon earlier designs by FlagFreak and Bethel23.
Symbolism
See above.
Comments
- The same as my previous proposal, but the swirl is "zoomed in" which makes the number of coils reduced. — Hellerick 20:04, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Weak support I support this mainly because two other users supported the more complicated design, but also because this one is much simpler. And it looks cool, too. :-) -FlagFreak (talk) 20:20, 27 December 2008 (UTC)- Strong Support Beautiful design, much simpler than the previous design that was similar. I really like this,
but I also like equally the flag which I designed which looks like the Philipines flag. It would seem, however, that Villa Cruoninga and FlagFreak prefer this, so I suppose that this one wins my personal battle.User:Bethel23/Sig 20:53, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Looking at it again it looks even better - accordingly I have changed Support to Strong support. User:Bethel23/Sig 14:35, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Why is it "weak support", FlagFreak? What is wrong with it? What would turn you from "weak" to "strong" support? User:Bethel23/Sig 14:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Support Looking even better still :) --Karsten vK (talk) 16:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Support Two users strongly supporting it shows that this design is great. ;-) -FlagFreak (talk) 23:12, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
