Factions of my World

13/1/15

What you see above are the the flags of my three factions that will appear in my portfolio.

Tundran Republic

Colour- The red suggests aggressiveness but also shows the passion of the rebellious faction.
The gold and brown colours are analogous to the red and connects with the warm tones of the faction. However the brown on the flag is  too dark to distinguish, therefore this will need to be altered.

Shape - The use of triangles acts as the main shape motif for that faction. The triangles suggest the aggressiveness and strength of the faction's army. The flag looks like a mountain with golden top suggesting it's ambition to become the best country in the world. The mountain depicted in the flag design was actually meant to be the country's national land mark. Another perception is that it's a tunnel where the gold triangle is at the end representing their just cause.


Neutral Alliance

Colour -  Blue affiliates with loyalty and justice. It also reflects the nations peaceful intents as they are seen as a nation which tries to prevent escalation of war between the two rivaling faction.
White connects with purity and peace. Most important is it's a colour that gives a sense of order.
Shape - The use of squares are strong and give the impression that this faction although peaceful, its still willing to defend its borders from enemies. The pattern  on the flag also has traits similar to a  checkered pattern that police use.The reason for this was to connect with their intent to maintain order.

At this stage, I'm still having difficulty deciding in names. Here are some examples.

• Cyran Empire
• Cynaku central province
• Colour 
• Cynakan 
• Canis meaning dog. Loyalty and purity

Imperial Faction

Colour - Purple connects with royalty, wealth and power.  However the use of purple reflects the empire's arrogance for other nations and it can be a sign of corruption and delusion. This colour fits the faction perfectly.
The use of gold in this faction reflects their nobility  and prestige as a faction. However I've darkened the gold in the faction to reflect their ignorant views of their vision of a utopia. Gold also suggests that they believe that they are superior.

Shapes

The two spheres in the center of the flag represent the world and it's moon. As I've decided that he world will have a similar geography structure to real life Earth, I felt that it should have the same amount of moons that orbit it.
The circles suggest the Empire's desire to promote unity and power.With the sense of unity, it can also suggest that because the Empire is a community of different factions with a united ideal and united strength, they see it as a sign of perfection.

I got some feedback on my flag designs. The red on the Tundran flag was too dark to represent my intentions.Plus the brown is quite difficult to see. The blue faction flag is fine however. The Imperial flag is a bit insensitive as I've noticed that the two circles form a crescent that is too similar to that on the Turkish flag and the Muslim symbol. Therefore I made some changes based off that feedback.
