Have you designed a custom flag for your NS nation? Post it here! Here are some I've made:

Possibly my first flag, the flag of Red Mones

The flag of my original Wintreath nation, Havadia

Still not completely satisfied with this one, not used for any nation

Just a random, basic flag I threw together, not used for any nation

As you can see I like blue, and stripes.

I've made a fair few.  Though my older flags are forever lost, here's the new ones I've done.

Penguin Dictators (my main nation)

In think this is still a favorite of mine, and not just because it ended up winning 10KI's Best Flag Contest.  But I've always just really liked the look of it compared to my other work.

Colorful Crows (my 10KI nation)

This was my first flag that I made with Ibis apainter X (what I use for all my flags) that I still have a fondness for.

Crow Metropolis (my Thalassia nation)

This I believe was my third project, and my second favorite flag right behind Penguin Dictators.

Dead Bodies Everywhere you Go (puppet nation)

Project number 4, although I'm still pretty meh with this one.  If anything it looks more like part of a book cover than a flag.

The Seven Levels of Heaven (puppet nation)

Project number 5.  Even though it's far from what I was going for, I still am a little fond of it.  That being said I'll be revamping it soon to fit more of what I was originally wanting.

Toucan Samgu (Puppet nation)

My latest (7th) project (6th was Hapi's flag).  This one was more of a joking-ish one made when I decided to create this nation a couple of days ago.  I might change it down the road to something more serious since I have no real attachment to this one, but we'll see.

My next projects are for my two other joke nations: The Popping Purple Populacy of the Peppy Peaceful People of Pepperton, and The (currently until I can change it) Allied States of the Bionic Blue Beatles of Beaverton.

Update:

The Peppy Peaceful People of Pepperton

I specifically uploaded the ripple version because actually looks 10x better with it.  I chose purple as the main color due to the moniker being "The Popping Purple Populacy"

Pengu made my flag hrs a pro

Seen as this seems like a good opportunity to share some of my flags with y'all, I won't waste anymore of your time.

First Flag of Dawcreek

Although simple, this was the first ever flag I created when I joined NationStates. Eventually, it turned into my democratic flag as that was how my nation began upon it's creation.

Imperialist Flag of Dawcreek

Similar in design to the first, this was the second flag I created, which was supposed to represent my nation as an imperialistic/authoritarian state, due to that being what I was going for at the time. Out of all of my flags, I used this for the longest period of time.

Flag of Dawcreek (Pre-Wintreath)

After I became sick and tired of staring at the imperialist flag, I created this to become the more permanent flag of my nation in Karma, which was the last flag I used in that region until I was later banned. (Don't ask why, that has already been explained about a thousand times now).

Flag of Dawcreek (Post-Karma)

Upon joining Wintreath, I felt like things needed to change, so to compensate I created this flag. Notice how I have a specific design pattern for my flags? This was the last flag I made with that pattern until I created this next flag...

Tsarist Flag of Dawcreek

There are two reasons why I created this flag. One, because I wanted both a throw-back to my very first flag, as well as something that would be a little more permanent. And two, because I am amazed by both Russian culture and history, which was how I got the influence for this flag. (Pay no attention to the white border on the black side of the flag, you have the unreliable MS paint to thank for that).

Here's my nation's flag.

version 1, when I first joined NS

version 2, which I created late last year

ended up winning 10KI's Best Flag Contest.

Damn, that's an achievement to be proud of.

Damn, that's an achievement to be proud of.

Oh definitely, and there were some phenomenal flags too, so I consider it a hell of an achievement.

Red, I see you were inspired by the fox emblems

So I ended up updating some of my flags for Pride, and ended up doing a bit of an overall overhaul on my Crow Metropolis flag:

My Wintreath nation doesn't have a custom flag yet because I don't know what to use (I have been using my logo for over 4 years lol)

For the past few days, I've been polishing and redesigning my current flag since I realized there were flaws. As of this post, I've finally completed it. Here's the final product:

And here's what the flag looked like before I started polishing. See if you can spot the differences.

Spoiler

Here's what I see:
Removed the white outline from the red on the black side
Changed the shade of blue used, smoothed out the edges some
Removed those bottom two blue sections between the wings/legs, and body.

It's much cleaner, I like it.

Another noticeable difference is that the eyes are a different color now.  They now look orange as opposed to blue.

Followed Dawcreek's example and made a custom N-Day flag:
