Flag Designing
Not really a n00b here, but I wanted some advice. What's a good program for designing flags for my factions. I tried using the new MS paint that came with my PC, but it was obviously not intended to do stuff like this.
Re: Flag Designing
paint.net is what I use when I need to do something more advanced than MS Paint. It's free

Re: Flag Designing
I'm having some difficulty putting the flag on my Imgur, vengeful. Any advice? Imgur and Flickr don't like SVG files.

Re: Flag Designing
I did some fiddling and figured out how to save it as a PNG.
None of the conversion sites I tried worked properly.

Is this some kind of new alt-right flag meme I'm missing out on? Authoritarian symbol in the first space, sword and crown in the middle, white supremacy symbol on the right?

Re: Flag Designing
tbh swastikas should be replaced with crossed penises on principle. This recent nazi fetishism that is going around on the internet kinda made me abandon the nutzees as a proper faction and partially retool them for the army of some Saturday morning cartoon villain.

Re: Flag Designing
Yeah, I've been disappointed with the nazi factions that have been showing up lately that haven't turned out to have any subversive take attached. I keep waiting for the satiric twist that never happens.
I hope this sonnenrad + maltese cross thing has got something more interesting planned than just another boring repeat of flat nazi fetishism with nothing interesting to say.

Re: Flag Designing
Well, the Maltese cross is actually Italian, or, technically, from the knights of Malta. Thw faction is gonna be Italian-influenced. The center part: Swords, lightning, Laurels, and a crown. An empire devoted to victory and lightning conquest. the sun in the circle represents that the faction comes from a dyson sphere. Not "Piltogg", per say. Though, I mean, the emperess does take traits from, among other people, Piltogg, Queen Victoria, and Winston Churchill.
Re: Flag Designing
I'm starting to feel like real-world flag symbols have too many negative connotations that end up overwhelming whatever meaning brick factions were going for. I wonder if we need to build up a repository of brick-specific graphics to make flags with. Just to brainstorm:
- Minifig weapons
Beer
BrikThulhu
Symbols stolen from minifig shields
Trianglist symbols
Troikas
Jaw-Jaw heads
Baseball caps
Explosions
Human hands
Bricks
Dice
Minifig skulls
Studs
Flame pieces

Re: Flag Designing
Fuck, I forgot about the SVG files, I just googled "convert svg to jpeg" until I found a working site, I forget which one I used.
Regarding symbols-I've found a pentagram overlaid with an inverted pentagram to make an interesting symbol.
