	Used the flag of India to create this tiny piece: I am having some problems creating the white snow and the bird to blend with the sun's rays as well as snow. Comments would be really appreciated. EDIT: Remade this with proper proportions Now, I have problems with one thing. The Indian Flag as a blue circle named Ashoka Chakra in the middle of white section where I have made a black bird. I just can't think of what to be done to have a blue chakra instead of the bird. Edited by A2J2TIWARI - 14 May 2012 at 2:07am

	@A2J2: Make sure it has the same proportions as the Indian flag. @Mrmo: is that the Danish flag? If so it needs to be taller :I

	Is it allright to use colours like gray instead of white which it actually is in the flag? Is it allright to turn the flag mirrored or 90 degrees? edit: because as patriotic as I am, I'm working on a logo for my own game project which resembles the flag of Finland. I feel it could make it in the contest if the questions above are approved. Edited by Smilecythe - 14 May 2012 at 6:54am

	Seems like a pretty neat idea. I think I will do something based off of the Tanzanian flag: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Flag_of_Tanzania.svg/500px-Flag_of_Tanzania.svg.png Good luck, everyone! :D Is this a good idea?

	@Lehmure : The first two panels are nice, but the last one doesn't seem to match with the theme you have already created. I would suggest doing same thing, but using the them your already have. Or, you could make each panel a different theme.
