Mini Flag Icons Thread

[Epictetus99]

I would like to create little flag icons that we can use for whatever. I want to start out with modern day, and then maybe we can work our way back through time. We can also do countries that aren't actually countries or aren't recognized (i.e revolutionaries like ISIS or ones in Libya.). Final note, we can keep track of what flags we've done with a map.

here is a list of every country in the world today: https://history.state.gov/countries/all. Included in each nation is a flag of it on the website, so just use that one.


I'm open to what size we should do, or if we should do multiple. For now though, I will give an example of three sizes:

As well as an example of it in use:

I also feel that things like this will give larger maps more usefulness

This is really cool. Keep up the good work.

I saw your map in the map thread earlier today and am thinking about doing one of these.

Here's Y and Z (pardon me, I don't know what the font aught to be). I claim L (red)

 

[Eparkhos]

And here's L. I claim R and S (red)

Thank you for the help

I'll start working on D and E

 

[Epictetus99]

(pardon me, I don't know what the font aught to be)

I'm using Bodoni 72 non-antialiased but it doesn't really matter as long as you can read the letter, once we have all of the flags I'm remaking the chart anyways

I'm doing alphabetical order due to the government website we are using being in alphabetical order, but I think when it's finished I'm going to organize the chart by region/continent, like color schemes are.
