For the golden empire

For the fire nation


I tried My best i hope you like it :D
I love your take on the Fire Nation. The blue contrasts the red nicely and makes it draw attention, something you want a flag to do.

The flame might be copyrighted but I think it does not meet the "threshold of originality" (some copyright thing) which means you should be legally allowed to use it. But I'm not sure, please consult a copyright expert.

Lol, you say thanks my dude a bunch. You must have a lot of dudes!
Memes have corrupted my brain lol. Plus in California people say dude a lot.
I'll belive it lol. And I'm not criticizing you, I'm just messing around. And since you live in california, be on the lookout for Formica ravida, Google it. It's a super cool ant, and I managed to find it.
This Monday I'm gonna go and look for some queens so maybe I'll find it.

Image My first fire nation flag. The symbol means fire nation, the colours mean fire,
An alternate version Image
My dark one, this is for a united one, as i personally dont think there is a civil war. Image
And my favourite Image I want to see if anyone can fiquire out ALL the symbolism.
That last guys flags were amazing though........way more professinal...I hope i atleast make the polls with one.
It might be copyrighted, so you could maybe use a different flame icon. The First FN flag is very aesthetically pleasing. Also simple. I like that.

The alternative FN flag is also nice, I like the pyramid shapes. The smoke could be either bigger or removed, because you can't see it from far away, which is the purpose of a flag.

The rest use seals, and I'm not a fan of seals. One of the flag design rules also states that seals are not recommended. But they have symbolism and I think that's a plus.

I like it. Matching flags, neat!

Also the appearance looks professional, what kind of software do you use?

The only problem I have is, say, the Dark Knights are on a battlefield and they are supposed to recognise each other's flags it becomes difficult because from a distance they look quite similar. But ants communicate through smell primarily, so maybe it isn't such a big problem.
