So I saw the flags on Cobia, and, it's not the greatest flag I must say...



Now, it's not entirely trash. I've seen flags way worse than this, but as a vexillologist, I must say, we can do better.



One of the many rules of flag making is to never use text unless that text is being used as a design element. In this flag, we see the black C on a red banner with a white thing through it. It's not bad as a design element, but it looks a little bit lazy. Speaking of lazy, that circular star? Not doing it for me.

So let's make it better!

Good flags always have symbolism, the old design's symbolism is not very good. C for Cobia, very cool. But we can do better.

Let's point out a few things about the island we can use for the flag:

- It's Spanish-based, with Spanish Caballeros as soldiers.

- It's tropical

- The current flag uses Red, White, and Black.

Since it's Spanish-based, we should use Spain's type of flag design.



We should also include symbols of the island much more important than "C." Mother Vulture lives there, so we can use a vulture, there are lions on every room of the isle, maybe we could use those.

Final Results:

The Vulture


The Golden Lion


Let's talk about these 2 flags.

The Yellow represents the sands of the island and is also inspired by Spanish colors. (Red and Yellow).

The Red still clings on to the original design.

The black helps break up the two colors in a pretty menacing way, and its also used in the previous design. It could also be in relation to Pythas looming over the island.

The Vulture on The Vulture design still clings to the original by shaping the vulture in the form of a "C" with added wings.

The Lion on The Golden Lion design is a reference to the Island's favorite animal I guess, a golden lion.

Tell me what you think below.

Hm. I like. Lets see what angel has to say.
Personally I like #1 since it fits the island better

you should major in graphic design tbh, I like your thought process and the explanations for your decisions

Great new flag designs I like The Vulture the best.

I like the vulture one the best. The Lion just doesn't seem menacing enough for it.

Nice flag designs. The flag you see on Cobia is a house sigil for House Cobo, not an actual flag for the island. I don't think we have flags for islands anyway, perhaps we should.

Both are great, but the vulture one looks more intimidating.

okay this is epic

the vulture looks kinda badass I like it better

I think flags alongside house banners for islands would make for great additions. It helps give the islands character, and looks cool for the rooms.

Nice flag designs, my favourite one is the The Golden Lion
