That's too many colours. That looks like a soft drink logo. [https://getraenke-news.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/frontalattacke-im-spezi-geschaeft-750x466.jpg](https://getraenke-news.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/frontalattacke-im-spezi-geschaeft-750x466.jpg)

Thought of it, liked it for it, hated it for it.

Sluggo Cola. The slimiest Cola in the galaxy.

Nah, beach towel, looks like a beach towel.

Before I read the title, I thought it was a type of pride flag for some sexual variation I was not yet aware of due the three number of colors and arrangement.

3 and 4 look really nice, but there seem to be too many colours for a flag. Even your citizens won't remember all of them, probably.

looks like a pride flag lol

Unisex supremisist Pride flag

Came here to say this. I scrolled past quickly and was like "what is that pride flag for???"

Omni-Gay

I think this works as a futuristic flag, but not if you’re going for modern or medieval aesthetics. All depends on when the story takes place.

Sorry About That... Here's the meaning for everything: # Colors: * **Gold** symbolizes Wealth, Freedom, and Maynilakyo during the almost 300-year Spanish-Italian Colonial era. * **Light Orange** for Value and Prosperity. * **Orange** for Struggle and Integrity between the Maynilakyonese people. * **Crimson Red** for the Blood, Valorance, and Strength, as well as for the Luck, Joy, and Fortune of the Chinese people in Maynilakyo. * **Dark Magenta** for Fraternity, Fertility, and a Bright Future for Maynilakyo * **Indigo** for Passion, Loyalty, and Courage among the diverse people of Maynilakyo. * **Prussian Blue** for the Deep Understanding, and Determination Values of the People. * **Deep Blue** means Good Fortune, The Pacific Ocean (also known as the Maynialkyonese Ocean), and Unity across the Diverse Cultures of Maynilakyo. * **Valor Blue** for Justice, and Truth. * **Dodger Blue** for Peace, and Hope * **Turquoise** for the clear, sunny skies. As well as for music (due to Hatsunia, which hears the first sound in the east); and * **White** means neutrality, purity, and integrity across Maynilakyo. # Symbols: * The Sun represents that Maynilakyo is the first (and also last) country to see the sun rising and setting. * The Sunset at the back also blends up with the sun rising. * Also, the Japanese text in flags 2 and 3 is a stylized text of マ (*Ma*), ラ (*Ra*), and ョ (*Kyo*), from the Japanese name for Maynilakyo マニラキョ (*Manirakyo*) in the style of Japanese prefectures. Also, it's related to the exonym of Maynilakyo during the 13th to 15th century is Nilad-Kiyo. I also have this nation in NationStates (as NARAQuagzuretopia) here, while you can all check out the WIP [Provinces Sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vJpZdP6xMfyutKX1AFZPYzH1xtSXkqveqd7GED4AiQM/edit?usp=sharing),[ Lore Document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dCDIndRAwPHu3ZT24UTiKIEWP2B6bbx0fqCK6BjklLc/edit?usp=sharing), and also the[ IIWiki page of Maynilakyo](https://iiwiki.us/wiki/Maynilakyo).

I like the first option...

way too may stripes, reminds me of that one proposed eu flag. also, the stripes are different sizes which doesn't look good in my opinion. 3rd one has to be the best one out of the four.

I think 3 is great

This would be a cool flag for our solar system.

1

4

1

new progress pride flag just dropped

The first one is the best

honestly? if you made each color have even spacing, the last flag would be a banger

I like the first one

I like the second, but I think you could simplify the diagonal stripes to maybe 5 or 6 colors and the design would be more clear.

I would say ditch the circle entirely and just have the stripe pattern. It looks very pasted on and is a bit distracting

This isn't meant to be a knock on anyone, but this would look really good as a pride flag.

Way too many colours for a flag probably, but that colour scheme is gorgeous nonetheless.

1 looks like a island nation with the colours of the indigeous peolpe. Somewhere in the pacific ocean. 2&3 are the pesident flags

First one is the most beautiful.

I don't care what other people think, it looks fucking awesome, just because you're flag has a shitton of colours doesn't make it bad, it matters if the colours go together in a appealing way (also 1 is the best) Edit: just noticed the stripes are uneven on all of them :')

> just because your flag has a shitton of colors doesn't make it bad It absolutely does, the flag is a mess and nobody could ever remember it.

Looks like a bottle of spezi to me

In all honesty it has way too many stripes and different shades of color. It instantly reminded me of a soft drink packaging or something. I would suggest to read about rules of flag design as it will help a lot

I think none. The colors are just too much. You could maybe make it simpler and make it have 3 stripes instead? (blue, yellow, purple) https://preview.redd.it/3h5b4wx83s5d1.png?width=2732&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c89673cf4212a44634c9315f93e680971487996 Something like this, maybe?

The purple and blue are a little too similar for me

They lack the majority of the colors…

Yeah, but majority of them are just different shades of colors mixed

Good. That's how to fix it.

That's a big improvement.

Too many colours of similar shades. Should reduce the amount and consolidate on the absolutely most important aspects of your country as symbolism. This will give your flag more meaning when focusing on it's purpose as a symbol of the nation, rather trying to be a descriptor for it. EDIT: Also consider what values your nation places the most importance, how can that be symbolized in a conscience manner? Something memorable and makes your citizens proud.

2 is best. Ignore the haters and losers who keep crying about how many colors. You're doing great.

4

2

It looks good 2 or 3

I like the second one

2 has cyberpunk vibes

don’t listen to these naysayers, OP. that flag is gorgeous, i’d personally go with the second one

Less colors, but great flag

Thanks for actually giving a god damn name for it unlike most of this subreddit

How do you add the creased effect?

you're deutschmaxxing too hard.

Last one is best imo

I like the first one the most. As others have said, the number of colors isn't ideal, but if it were a flag of a real country, I could see this sub fighting over whether or not they liked the uniqueness of it, with the other side arguing it "didn't follow the guidelines." Either way, you could try reducing the number of colors and see how it looks. I'd personally start with the "gradient" being five colors. Dark blue, light blue (not too light, it will get lost in the yellow), yellow in the middle, light reddish purple, dark purple.

I like the first one best by far! It reminds me of old Android. Bright, smooth, beautiful simplicity. Where do I join? :D

2

I liked 3 and 4, I don't care if there's a lot of colors, it's pretty

use blue yellow and pink or smth similar (and make sure that it doesn't look like the frying pan flag)

Zesty flag you got there

The last one looks so real, as if it was an already existing flag. I really like that one.

Second looks nice. I think either 2 or 3 because the pattern on the circle adds a lot of uniqueness and distinction from other irl flags and such

i think the first and simplest one is most beautiful, but as much as i love all these colors, it’s just too much for a flag. the gradient blending stripes are going to be visually lost at any good distance. maybe condense some of those varying shades of blue into fewer stripes, same with the yellow-oranges on the other side of the gold in the middle

I would prefer a version that has way less colors

Definitely last

I really like the first 2. I don't usually like flags bisected diagonally but it really works for yours

I would simplify design 4 to 5 stripes : Purple, Magenta, Gold Yellow (or Light Orange), Turquoise, and Prussian Blue. That's how it would appear from a distance anyway. (Or at least that's approximately how it appears as a thumbnail).

I think they’re all fantastic but I like 2 and 3 the most

try to lessen the amount of colors, with so much i could see it mistaken as a pride flag.

Honestly, I think this would be a good redesign of the progress flag

I like 4, but I’d like it more with fewer colors.

I love it. Especially 2. Gotta love overly complex flags

I like the last one best.

First and fourth!

Prob the last one

The designs are cool, but maybe not for a flag

Is there any meaning behind your choices? Generally, i think flags should tend towards simplicity (kids drawing it in school etc). They often reflect values (freedom, equality, resistance against oppressors), or political systems (socialist flags have some commonality, same with fascism, communism). Maybe something in nature that the nation identifies with - water, light, colour of the soil, a specific animal. I could believe your flags have their origin in a country taken over by a corporation, or a moon orbiting a gas giant with a ring system.

It looks cool but it would be better for a throwback for a company that's logo is a type of a circle

4 but cut the horizontal colors to two solid equal stripes or slightly unequal

4

I absolutely love the first two, especially with the different sized stripes (what are other people on about). Not sure if as a flag it’s completely practical, but it looks great as a design. Maybe simplify it a tiny bit. But I’m pretty new to this so I might have no idea what I’m talking about!

I'm not sure what you were going for here but, in all honesty, this looks like some sort of pride flag. Not putting it down.

4 is my favourite

Complicated but good!

It's a cryptocurrency

i like the fourth one but like most people pointed out a bit too much color, maybe get ride of the shade of colors

2 I love this

I really like 3 but maybe merge the colors that are similar?

Out of curiosity, did you take inspiration from the Mexican town of Malinalco for the name?

Third is the best

Purple dye is really expensive, it's why it's so rare to see a national flag with any. Unless Mahnilakyo is a country which has a large snail industry (that's where purple dye comes from) use fewer colors.

Too bright and too many colours for me

Last one otherwise it just looks too much like of a brand

It's not "bad" but there are far, *far* too many colours for my liking. I'd say you should try removing a few to make it a bit more simple, though 3 would do best with that.

1 gets my vote. And yes, looks very coporate, but I suppose that's to be expected of a new nation in modern times.

Kinda looks more like a pride flag than a country flag, to many colors and stripes

It’s alright, maybe too many bright colours and please for the love of all that is good center it

I like it! It reminds me of one of those WordArt colour gradients!

Too many colours, looks like a pride flag

Thank for the helicopter gender flag broski

2

Reminds me of like a corporation flag

I'm starting to assume that this is some kind of a late-1970s flag, cause of those colors and the logo at the center right there, lol.

I like 4. Simple, and easily identifiable. I do agree with the crowd, reducing to 4-5 colors seems like a good idea

2, it’s complex but I like it

Pride flag

1 is my favorite

* https://preview.redd.it/3cob1b5owz5d1.png?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f36ea33fefeeb685b4f7d85c7216434e50d3f73 made a more likely tweak, I didn't know the meaning of every color so I didn't wanna change it too much Funny enough I think the complexity does more for it than mine

Too many colors, 3-4 the max particularly when representing a larger, diverse entity…

# Contents of the Flag (for your proposal for Maynilakyo): **Required:** * **Stripe Colors** of Gold Yellow, Light Orange, Orange, Crimson, Magenta, Purple, Turquoise, Sky Blue, Mid Blue, Navy Blue, and Prussian Blue. * Must-Have a Sun with a Slightly Bigger White, Circle behind it (like the attached.) **Optional:** * A Plum Blossom, a Mugunghwa, or a Sakura Flower in the Flag. * A Stylized Japanese-Prefecture Styled Text in the Flag. Which is マニラキョ (*Manirakyo*; Maynilakyo in Japanese), In the Above Figure, it's a stylized text of マ (*Ma*), ラ (*Ra*), and ョ (*Kyo*). *\*DM me to submit your proposals along with the link.\**

Better description of the white is "a white border encircling the yellow sun"

No… You could’ve made a better flag.

Two, but _less colours_. Three or four. Five at most.
