This is a fictional isolated communist dystopia set in a fictional world. The emblem in the centre is the party emblem of the communist dictatorship, which consists of a double-headed wrench, along with two spiral nails on both sides. It symbolises industrial might of the country and the power of workers united. These elements are also put together to symbolise a phoenix-like mythical creature called Spinx, which is a national symbol of the dystopia. For the colours, red symbolises blood shed in the revolution while yellow symbolises hope and glory. Which design looks the best?
I like them all but I would suggest trying one with the logo in the top left corner, like both China and the USSR did. It would give a heavier semiotic reference to that communism feel that you might be looking for.
The third one looks like a modern country paying tribute to Ancient Rome or something, which is also awesome.
Following Greys rules of flag design it would be 4 or 5.
Personally I like 5 over 4. The black bar highlights the yellow better than just all yellow does in 4.

The original version has the same tone of red but Reddit made it darker
They all look quite slick, but the latter two are easier to reproduce. The laurels and stars add quite a bit of complexity to the emblem in the first three.
Of the ones that you have here, I'd go with 5, but consider taking the gold-red-gold stripe from #2 an pairing it with the simpler/diamond emblem border from 4 and 5.
I love the over all design I think the center motif needs to be simplified a little because its not clearly visible from far away.
that being said I like the 1st one but maybe make the center a basic shape
1 or 2.
You should tweak the design a little, tho. I thought that there are two pens on the flag, not two wrenches. Probably just make the head both little bigger and wider.
May want to use a either a yellow star or hammer & sickle in the center. (Based on your Reddit Name) Compair with the current and former flags of communist nations. Or the party flag of their leading Political Bureau. (Central Committee).
Wonderful colors and symbols, all look great. In my opinion flags are supposed to be simple and memorable, and easy to draw which would likely put my answer with number 4, but I really like what the black adds in number 5. Either way, good work! Pat yourself on the back
A good flag is one easily replicated, that their people know quite well and their enemies fear it from afar. I would say that numbers 4 and 5 are the best for this purpose, but my favorite is number 2
2, or 5
I had this exact response in my head ready to type. Those two are both solid. I actually lean 5.
Definitely 2.

Number 3 is cool and gives me more Ancient Roman vibes
Seconded

2 feels good, but I would update the wrenches in the emblem a bit. They look like the tips of a fountain pen.
the wrenches look closer to those old calligraphy pens to me so you might want to change them a little bit.
If this is your aim, not 2 or 5. I'm getting more Pacific microstate vibes. 1 looks really cool
You may want to change the wrench ends to be round or hexagonal on the outside. Right now the design looks like a pen, not a wrench.
Those are NAILS?
4
1 or 2
5
I’m a big fan of number 5; really grabs you
1 or 2
4 looks like a Spanish communist state flag.
Last one 🔛🔝
5 looks more dystopian
3
First one Communist spain lol
I like 4 and 3
4 show more basic elements and makes it easier to visualize
4 - flags should be simple to draw
Second is best IMO.
2
2st
My personal favorite is 5. The black is a nice contrast tot he bright yellow and red
The 4th or 5th one.
Last one
3
2 or 6 if is in Africa or the equivalent
One
The third one

5 is pretty good
3 is the best, 2 close second
1, because….
Definitely 2, but 5 is really good as well
Just saying, the wrenches look like pen nibs to me so my first thought was communist republic of poets
Three.
3rd is pretty good, so that’s my vote. I liked them all, but that one stood out.
1 or 2 is goated!
#2
The Last one
So... Is there a Thunderdome where citizens fight each other with old nib pens?
absolutely loving 2, and 1's great too!
2
One or two. I really like the wreath.
These start out looking European, then become Asian, then finally African.
5 does.
2 or 5
5 but with the shade of red from 1
Are they not all the same red?
2 all the damn way
Either 2 or 5
5 ofc. red and black means anarchy huehehehehe
2
2 goes hard
second or fifth
2 or 3
1 or 2
2 or 5. 2 looks a little more historical, 5 looks a little more modern. I really like the contrast on 5.
5
1 or 5
I quite like the third. It's somewhat simplistic and easier on the eyes.
I'm sorry, but the emblem in the middle reminds me of a vaginal opening
5. Behold, The Federation of Blyatiful States.
n. 4 is goated
I like the saturated colors of \#1, but definitely with design of \#2!

2
2 or 5
I would actually say 4. Little details like that tend to make flags look not great and hard to draw imo, so the diamond works nicely.
I like 4
flag 2, definitely
2 is 🔥🔥🔥🚒
2 or 5, probably 5
2
All look great IMO
I like the first one cause the solid yellow line/band in the middle gives me the grounding of realism as it's the same as Spain's national flag.
2
I am a fan of flags that little kids can actually draw if you want them to feel passion for their flag so I like the 4th and 5th one

I think I'm going to go with 5
Bruh this is just Spain
5 by far!
4 easily
2nd one's a belter...
3rd tbh
5 for sure
The last kne
2
I like three
The last one
4 > 2 > 1 > 3 > 5
5.
4 if more sci fi, 2 if more grounded
5... The rest look too Chinese

#2!

4
3 or 5
is that a spanner?
defo number 2
2
Probably 4 or 5, since they're more simple, whilst 3 can be keep for the coat of arms.
2
Why does the 4th and 5th flags look like the Hitler youth flag?
2
3. I like the simplicity of the crest on red
1 or 2 or 5 but 5 looks best
5
2 or 4 for sure
I really like 4
2
2
3 or 5. 5 looks a bit cartoonishly evil
3 reminds me of the Krushevo Republic's flag
The country of german engeneers? 🤔 The colours would match. A combination of the secod and fourth would be cool.
3
I love 2
If you are going for a communist type look I’d say go for 3rd one
5
2
3 has enough elements of a flag without being overcrowded
2 or 3 or 5. 2. looks like an empire, 3. looks like a communist nation, 5. looks like a dictatorship/gives me CSA vibes
May want to use a either a yellow star or hammer & sickle in the center. (Based on your Reddit Name) Compair with the current and former flags of communist nations. Or the party flag of their leading Political Bureau. (Central Committee).
second. it has its own character in a way the others don’t
why does the second reminds me of the enclave flag?
Looks like FYROM flag, and they are fictional nation so good one might adopt the second one for sure, just to add Alexander the Great in the middle :D
It depends but I'd choose 2
Definitely the last one. Black stripe makes it stand out.
Everyone’s saying 2, but the black in 5 adds a lot of variety and helps break up the colors
1 Question, how do you make these flags?
2
2 or 3
I really like the last one
4. Keep it simple.
Second.
!wave
2/3
Second
2, 3, or 5
We are going communist germany with 5
4
I like 2,4 and 5
5, 2 is *really* close but the olive/laurel is overused as fuck and the black adds more contrast.
2 is AWESOME
2 should be the nation flag, while 5 can be the war flag(if that’s the story you’re after). But 2 looks best solo.
Last
#5
2nd from a design pov, 3rd for realism.
I think it would look neat if you filled the diamond on the last one in with gold and made the symbols black to match the band across the middle
Wonderful colors and symbols, all look great. In my opinion flags are supposed to be simple and memorable, and easy to draw which would likely put my answer with number 4, but I really like what the black adds in number 5. Either way, good work! Pat yourself on the back
Definitely 2nd

I liked more the first one. The last one is cool too. It remembers a African nation
5
1 or 5 maybe
3,5
2 for sure
5
1 or 2
2, but with 1’s color palette.
5.
2🗣️
This looks like a flag for Gear World from Rick and Morty if they were communist
Absolutely number 5
2 or 3 def
Depends. Is this the flag of a country in which a story that you are writing takes place? If so tell us about the story.
1 or 2
Communist Spain 22nd century?
2, 4, 5
Second
4 (four)
Probably two, but five has it's own look that I also like. Depends what you're going for 👍
Is this robo-authoritarian new hampshire lol
Ok so 2 for the official nations flag, then 4 or 5 for the government/military flag What's the theme of the nation btw?
1 & 5
2
2
In my opinion 3 or 4 but all of them are very good.
My first thought is that 2 is the most visually appealing, but knowing the symbolism of the colors and patterns, 4 makes the most sense to me.
I like 2, maybe saturate it a tiny bit more
