I've noticed that the pacific does not have an offical flag, tree, mineral, shield, etc. and niether does the NPO. I recomend that we create symbols for both the pacific and our glorious government, the NPO. Here is my recomendation for the flag of the NPO and a motto: Strength, Peace, Prosperity.

Ah, a great idea. I'd particularly like for us to have our own coat of arms. I think the unofficial precedent which has been set are blue and yellow for our colors, perhaps they would be incorporated in the designs. I do like the one you've made, SirPaul. Wondering what we'd base our mineral/tree on...

Well, if the colors are blue and gold (my college colors), how about the bluebonnet as the regional flower the roadrunner as the regional bird Blue Topaz as the gemstone Gold as the mineral The Joshua Tree as the regional tree The Flying Dutchman as the official musical (in honor of Crazy Girl and Corinthe) j/k ;-) How 'bout South Pacific? If you'd like, I could change the current recommended flag's red field to yellow, or should I scrap the idea and start over? Awaiting your reply Sir_Paul

I do think red should be in there somewhere. Much of our propaganda is red based.....

Feel free to post your own symbols and ideas. I'm not minister of the Interior or anything, just a guy making suggestions. It's up to the senate to adopt national symbols, just like they adopted our regional holidays.

I'd say Redwood as the regional tree, goldfinch as the regional bird, if we wanted to go with blue, yellow, and red. How about this for a flag? and a coat of arms idea:

I love your coat of arms. How about this for the seal of the Delegate?

Kudos to the both of you - I like Mars' flag and coat of arms, and I dig the seal of the delegate by sir paul.

The images you guys created are great, SirPaul and Mars Sara. The designs are wonderful, but I think the colors need a bit of a tweaking. Trying to come up with three colors which are totally independent and unique compared to what RL countries have is difficult, but I've come up with this chromatic alteration of Mars Sara's flag to demonstrate said proposed color changes (minus the red twinge around the star, which I can't seem to get rid of without making it look awkward): I replaced red with black and made the blue a few shades lighter. Could you two alter the flag/coat of arms you created to reflect these colors so we can get another look at them? And SirPaul, the Great Seal kicks ass. What program do you use for these? The .jpg distortion's a little rough, but sized down, it should look perfect. Now to figure out where we can use it...

I'm a poor college student, I do it in Powerpoint and Paint. I wish I had photoshop, but alas .

I think that the symbol/flag should be something out of mythology. Like a Gryfin or a Hydra. Just a suggestion.

But I also have Kazaa Lite and broadband I think that the symbol/flag should be something out of mythology. Like a Gryfin or a Hydra. Just a suggestion. While that would be showy and perhaps aesthetically pleasing, I'm not sure it would stand for anything or be relevant to anything related to the NPO or Pacific.
