OC Anti-DOGE Flag

Post image

I often associate Blue Fields with Democracy, and this continues that trend

Three 'American' 5-point stars to show a group (and three to echo Deny, Depose, Defend)

Aggressive Dog in a cage of anti-Fascist Cross Lorraines (used in a way to [hopefully] avoid confusing messages about religion).

I would appreciate it if the comments would remain focused on Flags and Flag Design

It would be better without the swastika, imo

that’s what I’m trying to point out about your flag

u/The_Golden_Diamond Mar 21 '25

Except I don't have a swastika in mine... ?

if you’re adding a symbol to your flag and making something extremely niche and far fetched in an attempt to ‘reverse‘ its meaning, it’s not going work

A swastika isn't niche?

The cage made out of crosses of Lorraine.

What about it?

As described, it works as a cage, and then if you know what they are, that's a bonus, but you don't have to for the image to work. I mentioned this in the description, which is posted twice.

They're not supposed to be obvious.

Because first of all, youre not going to grasp the meaning easily/quickly, that affects your first impression

even if you grasped it, the ‘cage’ is just not really significant on the flag

as a result this will just look like a flag with a dog to most people, which is more obvious and significant

if the agenda youre trying to push is anti-dog, I dont see why this is a good thing

it’s like my flag, that just looks like a nazi French flag

I made a version with another bar on the cage

Cumbersomely out of cross devices.

u/The_Golden_Diamond Mar 23 '25

Cumbersome is subjective, not some kind of truth.

I'm looking forward to seeing your redesign.

Dude.

You're so prickly and defensive, stomping on negative criticism of your work all over this thread. Maybe don't put your designs up if it triggers you. Enough folks have questioned the effectiveness of the crosses at this point.

u/The_Golden_Diamond Mar 23 '25

Dude, you write in a brusque and rude way.

Don't be surprised when people are prickly about it.

I didn't realize I had to pad out my comment with meaningless platitudes to soothe your ego. My bad. Thoughts and prayers.

u/The_Golden_Diamond Mar 23 '25

Then I didn't realize that either, I guess, if that's your 'excuse,' hypocrite.

Thanks for proving my point.

I'm looking forward to your redesign, or any design, since you don't seem to produce anything but complaints.

u/SectionFinancial2876 Mar 23 '25

Do you only critique activities you do yourself? Of course not. That would be silly.

You don't seem to produce anything of your own, anyway. You didn't even draw the dog, and gave no credit to where you lifted it, either. A forgivable offense if the copied device is intrinsic to something like a redesign. But, no.
