It's strangely fitting, for a cobbled-together state founded on insanity!

If we want something less...busy...how about we have the accordion-playing monkey upon a plain blue field? Or even just the accordion?

Re: Musican Flag
Sounds better. But the above flag could perhaps be something else like our naval ensign.

Re: Musican Flag
Highly suitable for its loudness.

Re: Musican Flag
I rather like that...the c-clefs remind me of the cyriclic Bs on Byzantine and Serbian flags. We could always ape that design by having a cross between four c-clefs!

Just an outsider's opinion but...that is quite probably the most beautiful flag in the history of flags.

Re: Musican Flag
It is...I definitely think we need to use it.
Just a thought- why not have a simplified design for everyday use and make that the Diregent's personal standard? It just looks like a leaders's personal flag (maybe it's the gold border?).

Re: Musican Flag
Simplified, simplified... hmmmm.
Well, if I take out everything but the central G-clef and the border, we get:
I admit, though, to wanting to keep the border in either case. The background colors are dark enough that, without the border, the G-clef looks scared and alone there in the middle to me. Were there any particular ideas for simplification schemes that might work better?

Re: Musican Flag
Even though the first flag is louder, I like it better. Either way both are very nice.

Re: Musican Flag
Mmm...I have to agree with you both. Much as I prefer simpler flags, the first one just has that extra "something" that the second version lacks.

Re: Musican Flag
Okay, maybe we should go with our gut and make the louder of the two the Musican flag, and the latter our naval ensign.

Re: Musican Flag
I agree that we should adopt the louder design as our flag, but the simpler one should be our jack rather than our ensign....it just feels more like a jack. I have a vague idea for an ensign but at the present time I don't have access to the tools necessary to draw it.

Re: Musican Flag
Well, as far as flags go, the more the merrier. The Dirigent could always have a standard. The County of Musica's flag looks like this, and that should probably be adopted as the Capital Territory's flag:
But the City of Musica lacks a flag.

Re: Musican Flag
I've been meaning to ask about the symbolism of the Yardistani coat of arms. No idea if there is any basis to this, but I've always associated the golden sun with sixteen rays on a red field with Khaz Modan and the Me'Jiliad Dynasty (hence the arms of Modany).

Re: Musican Flag
I designed that godawful coat of arms way back in the earliest days of time. This was back before the MCS or Micras. The vergina sun was a tie-in to Audentior, since a lot of Yardistani were former Audente BOO0/\/\ISTS. The land running across the top was supposed to be a "yard". And the Earth was supposed to be a representation of how Yardistan claimed "backyards everywhere".
I'm still vexed that no-one has listened to me yet and updated the image to a globe of Micras.
