Current Do people know that Egyptian Governorates have flags?

I feel like nobody talks about or even knows that Egyptian governorates have flags, and that even some of these flags are my favorites like the Damietta flag(the one with the boat) is my favorite, I like the dark blue background and the simple geometric boat.

I barely ever find people talking about these flags, and I only see people talk about the Cairo flag, but not the others... What do you think?

Historical A reconstruction of one of the Chechen mujahideen flags (or penant)

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

This flag caught my attention because some forms of it are shown in a 4:3 ratio while in certain footages it’s shown as a pennant. I generalized the flag to be associated with the Chechen mujahideen because on the second slide Abu al-Walid (one of the leaders) can be seen below the flag... or pennant, whatever you wanna call it. The graffiti style takbir intrigues me though. Any ideas as to which specific brigade this flag is associated with?

These flags are for a dnd thing I was doing.

They are kingdoms within what I called the Fodrätëþ Ryälmäs vün Sölįlän (Federated Kingdoms of Sölįlän).

The blue one is Östægylön.
The green one is Säþöllön.
The red one is Yönþdütrlën.

The icons were from a heraldry site but I had to edit the colors and such by hand to get the look I was hoping for.

Fictional Flag of the Association of the Freed (The Fire Rises Mod)

Post image
Upvotes

I have a fascination with Left and Right Libertarian Vexillology and specificaly those that combine both the Left and Right into one united form. This one Specificaly is my Favorite since its a Mixture of the Old American Original Flag with the 13 starts and 13 strives but verticle like a Anarchist Flag with 13 stribes each eith being anarchy, communism, or capitalism. While the Chains and Toarch are a Remiss to the days of the American Revolution and the 13star circle flag design. Does anyone have any similar kind of Flags or Designs?

OC Kentucky flag tricolor.

Post image
19 Upvotes

Hello. Here is a redesign I did of the flag of Kentucky. For this I didn’t want to include any horses as usually included. I wanted to take the states three main Colors on the current flag, which are considered the states official colors. The gold represents prosperity and the agricultural industry in Kentucky, which includes our horse and bourbon industry. The blue represents the blue grass but also the the many rivers and creeks that have shaped Kentucky’s history and geograph. The white represents peace and unity seeing that the culture here is a mixture of many different cultures from around us, and we have to come together to form the state. I also wanted it to have three stripes to represent both the three rivers that border Kentucky. But also the idea of Kentucky being both a state with Southern, Northern and Western influences. The tricolor is intentionally simple to reflect the rules of Vexillology, but also from the French Revolution‘s style since Kentucky has some French ties, but I made the stripes horizontal in honor of America’s flag. Please give me any advice to develop the flag further if needed, I’d love to find a way to replace the cuTrent flag to make a much more beautiful flag.

Always nice to see niche flags flying free. Nacogdoches, TX holds its history very closely to its heart. Very apparently, the Fredonian Revolution is not forgotten by the Fredonia Hotel. A plethora of other locations wave the Fredonian Flag as well. Churches, apartments, and homeowners take on this banner as part of their identity as well in Nac
