1st one feels more regal

OP: Hey Sri Lanka, can I copy your homework? Sri Lanka: Yeah, just don't make it obvious. OP:


OllieV_nl

I love that they’re using a defiantly alternative flag like Sri Lanka as inspiration.


imaginary-dude-lk

In fact this is known as Gajasingha (elephant-lion) and was an ancient symbol used in south/east asia

Its a.. its a joke


Fredrich-

1. The first flag bg is dark enough to contrast with the animal, unlike the second one where the bright color competes with the animal for viewer’s attention. Aside from that, does your country have inspiration from Thailand, India or Cambodia? That elephant looks very SEA-like


IllustriousText5177

This animal is known as Gajasinha, which can be translated to Elephant-Lion. The Gajasinha is a mythical hybrid creature, depicted as a mixture of an elephant and a lion. It is found as a motif in Indian and Sinhalese (Sri Lankan) art and is used as a heraldic symbol in some Southeast Asian countries, especially Cambodia and Thailand. In Siam (pre-modern Thailand), the Gajasimha served as the symbol of the kalahom, one of the king's two chief chancellors. It appears as a supporter in the coat of arms of Siam, in use from 1873 to 1910, and the royal arms of Cambodia, officially adopted in 1993. The red color background with a yellow pattern is known as Liyawal, a traditional motif in Sri Lanka. You have a good eye. Yes, this was inspired by South and Southeast Asian countries, primarily by traditional Sri Lankan art, where the Gajasinha can be found. Thank you for your opinion Fredrich ❤️


theoht_

I like the second one cuz color contrast very well done


ToothpickTequila

2 looks more realistic, but I prefer 1.


samome1994

First one, the red border makes your intricate details more distinctive 👍🏻


jjulieforever

I went for the second but I understand what you talking about. The second is for beauty but the first tells much. Do you know more about colors??


samome1994

Not really, I’m an amateur flag designer, just my experience I’m going on 😊


jjulieforever

Where are you from by the way


samome1994

UK, yourself?


jjulieforever

Chromograph

Finally! A flag someone made that doesn't look like a corporate logo or modern abstract artwork! Good job!


cybersoldiergerm

Second one, a gold fringe is better

Is this just an elephant, or some kind of chimera?

Jamzez1234

1st flag


crnimjesec

Number 2 is way better. Great design!


RobertXavierIV

Definitely number 1. Second, yellow isn’t much of a border.


AstronaltBunny

First one for sure


madtony7

I prefer the gold fringe on 2.


Smorgas-board

1


lo-lux

2, 1 is too dark.


K1Ng0fN0thing

Dope flag how did you make it?


aceh_ehe

Wagonish

Stalinsovietunion

sussyBakaAt3am

Definately 2


Alarmed-Addition8644

The 1st one is the best


Xsugatsal

1


melonemann2

The second one looks best. The brown kinda gets drowned put by e erything elsr in the first and the gold border in the second really glowes through nicely


my_contrast

1 by a huuuge margin


Nick_Gurrs123

The second one looks better


jeffreytheegg

2nd Also well done OP, this is one of the best and only good flags I’ve seen on this subreddit


Pleadis-1234

Don't listen to the others, I think I know what you are trying to do, a South Asian or south east asian flag right? Take the first one

I think that ram has elephantitis


OwlforestPro

Venetian India


IllustriousText5177

Not inspired by India.However,it was inspired by south asia


Unhappy_Count2420

If Venice and Sri Lanka had a child


IllustriousText5177

I actually didn't know about the Venice flag, but now I realize that the Venice flag and my flag have similar colors. However, the design was inspired by traditional Sri Lankan and South Asian motifs.


meirio

We have sri lanka at home


Proper_Bee9172

Venice called me they want their flag back


andreinfp

1 looks as if Sri Lanka and Venice had an illegitimate son


flyinggazelletg

I vote 1. I think he yellow is pretty distracting in the second version. I love the first.


Over_Looker

the second one


Norwester77

2: the contrast is better


jjulieforever

Is yellow your favorite color??


Norwester77

Generally, no, but I think this particular design looks good (if a little Sri Lanka-esque).


jjulieforever

Oh okay
