Oow, still looks very nice. Much better than I expected (perhaps even better than the first one)...

Maquiladora · October 27, 2002, 11:19

Because of the shape of the compass it seems to look better in the middle of the flag, but the smaller i make the lemur the more it looks like a dinosaur.

Excellent job Maq!! I thought that someone could come up with a good idea from that pic, but that looks better than I ever imagined

P.S. nice avatar.

..?

Maquiladora · October 27, 2002, 15:13

We could probably keep changing the colours right until the end of the DG and still not decide

Immortal Wombat · October 27, 2002, 15:24

We could change once a week

Revenge of the Lemur:

Peter Triggs · October 27, 2002, 15:29

I've e-mailed WesW and asked him to draw this thread to the attention of our favourite lemur lover. (I think he has her e-mail address.) It would be nice to see what St Swithin thinks of the flags.

Locutus · October 27, 2002, 16:26

If she responds, I think we should let her choose our flag

BTW, Peter, check out this thread */subtle hint*

I go with Maq's basic three color flag with the red backgrount the yellow compass and the black lemur. Actuak the problem with the Austrian based flag is that it has to much white in it not too much reed.

I would go for the Maquiladora avatar!

I wonder how is it going to look with plain colors

SMIFFGIG · October 28, 2002, 13:41

If you cant beat them, Join them

Pedrunn · October 28, 2002, 14:19

I will give a try too!

Maquiladora · October 28, 2002, 14:21

So many lemurs

I tried that particular combination myself. I dunno, i thought the outsides around the edge looked abit bare, and we dont want a square flag, looks good though.

Doesnt look much like a simple flag but i like it too

Pedrunn · October 28, 2002, 14:28

Maybe a more brasilian lemur

Maquiladora · October 28, 2002, 14:41

Are there any wild Lemurs in Brazil?

I dont know

Anyhow this is my last one of this type.

Kinda the colours from the ctp2 case.

SMIFFGIG · October 28, 2002, 18:29

Good flags

Lemurs only live in Madagascar and are an endangered species.

There are many different kinds and many have already gone extinct due to humans. Mainly cutting down the rain forests they live in

Just thought id share my knowledge

shame though

Locutus · October 29, 2002, 04:51

Damnit, Maq, you're making it very hard to choose

I really like the dark red/yellow color scheme, but the Apolyton/box colors are very applicable...

Yes, unfortunately lemurs are not doing very well outside Apolyton

Maquiladora · October 29, 2002, 05:01

Ill go for the one with the big red lemur on the lighter shade of red background and the white compass.

Maybe we should have a flag poll?

... ill get my coat...

Locutus · October 29, 2002, 06:02

Hmm, I'm not too fond of the red-on-red myself...

How 'bout this?

Locutus · October 29, 2002, 06:13

Bah, that looks pretty crappy in JPG, let's try again in PNG (I'll leave the JPG version for those with retarded browsers that don't support PNG):

Maquiladora · October 29, 2002, 06:54

I like it and certainly solves the space in between.

Not sure about the green though...

Locutus · October 29, 2002, 07:17

?

Immortal Wombat · October 29, 2002, 07:22

nice

Zaphod Beeblebrox · October 29, 2002, 07:33

i prefer the green stripe

BAH just when i thought we were getting somewhere

Thats my final choice anyway with the white stripe

Locutus · October 29, 2002, 08:07

Well, you guys have it easy: I have about 10 different versions of stripes to choose from on my PC

Here's one more that's also quite nice IMHO...

Maquiladora · October 29, 2002, 08:13

GAH STOP

I just wonder how nations with incredibly complicated flags managed to decide, let alone a simple one, someone will have to decide.

The mainly white stripe still gets my vote anyway.

Zaphod Beeblebrox · October 29, 2002, 10:42

this one is very fine as well, just didn't like that broad white stripe

centrifuge · October 29, 2002, 12:10

The last one is quite nice. Gotta love the red, white, and blue

I like SMIFFGIG's version as well. Having everything centered and the lemur slightly eclipsing the compass is quite asthetically pleasing

HuangShang · October 29, 2002, 20:47

if we go for the stripes... then uh......idunno

but i like that design and Maquiladora's on page two (with changing red) the most
