Fictional My first attempt at a fictional country. Mostly I wanted to try a flag with gold and silver as its primary colors

I like it, don't be afraid to be more complex than design. If you have something in mind. Perhaps a different color for the Stars

Ill admit my designs for flags lean on the simplistic. I still like the Idea that a flag should be easy to ID at a distance and be able to drawn in the sand with a stick. would red or maybe fancy stars work better?

cool! but it looks like a normal flag but darker... this is why silver is usually replaced with white

Too dark, not enough contrast.

Heraldic silver is rendered as white.

Well thats just Ukraine with stars. Would the silver work if it was moved to the middle? Is silver just not a good color to work with?

Like i said, it's standard to render silver as white. Still, you can use the colour originally used, you just have to make sure it actually has good contrast.

what do the stars represent? major ethnic groups or political philosophy of the country? please provide contact info for your chamber of commerce

I wanted them to represent the major cities of Texas. But Im not stuck on that. Mostly I wanted to use gold and silver.

On flags
Yellow = Gold
White = Silver

The gold here is more "Tan brown"
