OK, well as the new Lt. Governor, it came to my realization that our humble region is without any regional symbols. So, I submit to the public my proposal plus 2 variations. I encourage others to submit some of their ideas, and the best ones will be put up to a vote of some sort and will be in a piece of legislation I will write up for the Region's symbols.
Anyways, here's my proposal.





Of course, they're just something I cooked   up in MS paint, and if any of these are adopted I will fix them up a bit.

Comments? ideas?

I don't know, putting a map of the region on the flag seems kind of silly to me.

Perhaps, but it was the best thing I could come up with.

Fair enough, I like the concept of making a flag.  I'd like to hear other's proposals as well.

As would I. I would also like to see  someone make a regional seal, as that's not a task I can handle Smiley

Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
Anyways, I finished my flags. Do you know of any websites that host huge (over 3mbs) images?

3mb!? I dont think we need to load anything that big. Save them as .PNG's

Good job Casey but I still like Earl's option 2.
Thanks guys! I was going to post my other flag, but it was kind of bad. It was the same thing with a crappy-looking eagle in the center.

An eagle would be better than an "NE"

Mideast Flag Votes

Feel free to take any inspiration from these that you wish.

We eventually decided on Flag 13.

Hmm, not bad. Kinda reminds me of Cuba though Cheesy

I hope I dont offend any southerners, but I also saw the Southeast flag, and I dont like really like it. Couldn't they have picked the confederate flag or something (LOL)

All kidding a side, I would like to move away from the Red white and blue cliche of regional flags. When I designed my version, I took a look at the state flags in our region, and most of them had blue backgrounds, and all of them used at least blue gold or white. I incorporated those three colours in the flag. Red may be my favourite colour, but I dont think it is a colour of our region. Smiley

The only problem with your flag's, Earl, is that I don't want the Northeast to have a flag like Cyprus. I don't really like the idea of putting a map on the flag and it kinda makes it seem rather hokey. I remember a sight in which all world flags were rated and Cyprus' flag got a very low rating because of the map. Out of your three maps though I like the colour scheme in number two the best.

Well, with the right colouring, one can make a map look nice. Cyprus' gold and white combo is kinda cheesy. But blue and gold screams "Northeast!" I wouldn't object to replacing the map with some sort of a seal if someone is willing to create one, however.

I think the borders give it a bit more character.

Anyways, before you put it to vote, I believe skybridge is making one.

NORTHEAST MOTTO:



Fax mentis incedium gloriae

(the passion of glory is the torch of the mind)


Hey, I still remember SOMETHING from Latin...

That's good, because we have the statue of liberty. Perhaps we could employ the torch as our regional symbol.

King sent me this design. The 9 stripes represent the 9 original colonies found in the region. If there are any other designs, you have one hour to submit.
