Do You Have A Flag?

[lupestripe]

If you could design a flag to represent your species - or to represent furry in general - what would it look like and why?

Mine would definitely have a paw in it somewhere. Perhaps a rainbow motif but then furry isn't completely gay so perhaps it wouldn't be appropriate. Maybe green would work - the colour of fields.

I like that. Does it have any meaning?

Taken directly from my website:

"The Grand Union flag is the centre of the the democratic system. It is loved by all the locals, as it represents freedom and the final union of bickering tribes of the old days. The flag itself is simple is design. Only two main colours are used. Red is a very important colour to the Caldarvierie. Being the same colour as blood, it represents new life, and eternal hope. Black is used to symbolize the darkness of older, less comfortable times. When viewed vertically the disc in the centre is supposed to be the sun rising over the horizon, banishing the darkness. The amount of red on the flag is greater than the black. This is used to symbolize the re-emergence of life and hope at the beginning of every new day. Gold is a colour traditionally reserved to honour war dead. A gold band is therefore sometimes placed around all four sides of the flag is used to recognise the People's Pioneers who brought the whole planet peace, democracy, and finally global union in the space of just 400 standard years."

I really need to update that.

Did you invent the flag yourself? What is its purpose? Sorry for being ignorant.

I have not written a great deal of detail about the history of Caldarvier, but I have ideas in my head. The union of the cervine tribes of Caldarvier came on the back of a nasty war. That flag represented hope at the end of it. I REALLY need to get this stuff down on paper.

Indeed you should, it sounds like an interesting concept. Good luck with it :)

It looks very much like the Greenland flag. I like it.

[avon-deer.livejournal.com]

I did not know Greenland HAD one. That is quite cool.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

It does look a little like the Greenlandic flag. Dunno where the design came from for that.

Now that I have looked it up, you're right. Though mine is on it's side, and different colours.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Still a little similar though :P

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

It is certainly a very striking flag :)

Glad you like it :)

If a flag should be anything, it should be powerful and evocotive :)
