17 x 9 px Flags of the Solar System

[Holo]

I have an unhealthy obsession with 17 x 9 px flags.

Main Flag Series

If you want the backstory for any of the flags, I can explain all of them. You may also use these flags in your signature to show what planets you've visited, your favourite planet, etc.

Mission Flags

In these, the roman numerals represent the number of the moon (e.g. Laythe is Jool I). You could also use this to signify the number of probes you've sent there.

Flags designed to be attached to probes.

Debris flags, for craft that are uncontrolled, such as spent stages.

Alternate Flags

'MERICAN flags, for all you patriots out there (no damn commies allowed!).

Size Charts

Wow, those look... Small.

What is this, a collection of flags for ants?

Well, you have now won this thread...

Or the pixel-phobic.

Sorry, I just had to do it

The reason they're small is because small ones are easy to make and they also look really nice.

You'll notice that (as of posting) my avatar's also a 17x9 flag. I can't help it, I'm addicted to 17x9 px flags, man!

Or the pixel-phobic.

Not scared of pixels, I just really, really like rectangular groups of 153 pixels in an aspect ratio of approximately 2:1.

... That's quite the specific case of CDO you have there neighbour. I'm glad I'm not that bad.

I have 331 little pixel flags as of today.

What needs to happen now is to have a way to attach these flags to our ships. Would be fun to work on a lander to visit different planets and to put a new flag on our ship each time we did... though it might not be possible, i just thought it would be snazzy.

That would be good. A way for Kerbals to sellotape 17 x 9 px flags to the side of the lander.

... You... You inspired me... BRB

[Xellith]

Can someone make something like this for the kerbin system? Im crap at math or I'd do it myself.

How so? Glad I inspired someone anyway!

.........what is the appeal of these again? o.o

They're flags, and they are 17 by 9 pixels. How are you not seeing the appeal of it?

I don't know what the appeal actually is, I just find them really aesthetically pleasing.

5x8, I win

5x8, I win

It's too small, but cool nonetheless. BTW, which flag is it?

[Rockcoole]

Prussia, if I am guessing right.

*head explodes*

On another note, I really like the suggestion of command pods gaining little flag emblems on the side when they land on a planet.

I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Holo here, they're intriguing in an unusual way.

I think it's partly to do with how I've not seen things like them before. There's a certain artistic purity to the 17x9 layout, which I find adds to the minimalistic effect of the size of the image. I also enjoy the way in which they're not enlarged, which gives them the same sort of appeal a ship in a bottle might have.

Furthermore, the attitude of the aformentioned Mr. Holo appears to be one of intrigue in these flags, with an ignorance of reason, something that is quite unusual, yet also beneficial I find.

[chobit-389]

Prussia, if I am guessing right.

Close

[harharluke]

I think a description of what's on the flags would help. I can't zoom in far enough ._.

Also Chobit, you're close

[chobit-389]

No no no, thats the point, I made a modern / stylized version for use in PfL

[Rockcoole]

I awsume you're going to put that on the Flags when they come out.

[chobit-389]

OF COURSE!!! Why wouldn't I?!
