Forum-people that have been around for a while, made very many posts or done some seriouse(dont know how its spelled :mad: ) modding work always have the pressure not to make stupid newbie posts, a small taste of glory. Altough you must not be afraid and hope they know that everyone cant possibly know everything.

You can also sound very stupid when asking what RTFM and JK, stands for as an exampel.

:p - I don't know what these mean, and I can't imagine my life being that much fuller if I did!

Soooo, can we also have a re-done French tricolore with this very cool new symbol in the middle? And maybe a new one for Sicily? And possibly one for Quebec?

(Not sure about Britain yet - they're socialist, but not fully in the Syndicalist block yet...)

The acronyms are "Read The F-ing Manual" and "Just Kidding".

Sure sure, in fact I was looking for a suitable base for the Sicily flag today. :)

I liekd your idea about the British flag, yet I am not sure if I have the skill to do it.

I have the fascist britain flag I made, Union jack with Mosley's symbol superimposed, I could replace the lightning in a circle with the cog . . .

I quite like the current British one I'm using, which is red with the Union Jack in the corner - it just needs to ditch the hammer and sickle! So, possibly either have the hammer and sickle replaced by the 'torch and hammer', or have no extra symbols on it at all (although then it might look a bit too much like the red ensign...)

You suggested something similar to the stuff seen in the propaganda poster.

:D - Oh yes, I did - Actually, that is probably the best idea...

Even I can't remember everything that's been written on this now gigantic thread!

Hmmm, might still be slightly too fascist in style, when the look I'd probably be going for would be traditional UK labour movement banners - which tend to be quite detailed and have slogans and various symbols on them.

I'll see if I can dig up some good examples in the correct format, or else try to convert the flag on the propaganda poster into something useable as a base to make a HOI2 flag out of!

EDIT: Aha, here's a reasonable one:

It's doubtful that the writing would come out very well on the actual flag, so it doesn't really matter what it says!

And maybe make the symbol in the middle a bit larger - they've actually got something similar to CCurio's idea, with a torch, a spade and a bit of wheat (I think...) -> So this could be something good to use for Britain, to highlight that they are similar to the global syndicalist movement, but have some differences...

Much better imho :) The Union Jack could be interpreted as a symbol of united peoples (in fact.. that's it's purpose..) but the Trade Union one is more hmm... radical. I'd cut the borders off though, leave it with a simple red canton.
 
I like it, keeps the union jack but introduces the people's red and syndicalist movement- a bit like Hitler and the swastika flag- that kept the traditional colours of the old empire, the people's red canton and his own Nazi symbology. Excellent :)

Thousand thanks for this T, I know it'll be hard but...may the spirit of revolution be with you! Let the hands of millions united workers guide you! :p
 
I was thinking, maybe the syndicalist red/black could be integrated into that flag somehow? ATM it's plain red.. maybe if the diagonal anarchist flag was used, with the diagonal emerging from the corner of the union jack and the emblem imposed in the middle or on one of the colours or other? Would that work at all?

P.S. Would look less like the Canadian flag then too ;)
