Alliance Flag & Font request.

Name: Liberation Army (LA)
Team: Aqua
Alliance Theme: Suikoden ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suikoden )

[u]What I need[/u]

Text: I've been looking to see if there was a downloadable font the same as the latest Suikoden text but I've not found one anywhere and I can't seem to create a match.

If you're any good with text, I could do with a Font creating similar to that so that I can use it when creating sigs, announcement headers, etc.

Flag: I'm really busy working on other aspects of the alliance and my Photoshop skills aren't the best, so I've just not been unable to come up with what I wanted.

In Suikoden there's things called Runes, which each have their own symbol, e.g. Soul Eater Rune:

I was thinking something similar to that image in the centre of the flag, so as to give Suikoden some sort of representation would be good, although I'd like some Aqua in it if possible. If you search the net for 'Suikoden Rune', there's loads of them.

I'd like a flag with a wavey effect (not moving though) and a normal one, so I can use the normal one in avatars.

I've actually got Photoshop CS3, so would like the psd file's & font so that I can use them to work on a set of images for alliance membership ranks, avatars and signatures.

If you've got the time / skills that I need and would like to come up with something, I'm willing to pay CN cash / tech or even a donation. Post in here, message me on here or come speak to me in #LA.

I'm not sure this topic is in the right place, if not, can the mods please move it to where it should go?

Cheers,

Mayz

Thanks for the tips & efforts, I decided to have a blast myself in the end and came up with something that I liked.

AvT, assuming you're not using all your slots, I'll redirect 50 Tech from one of my tech deals to you and Scorponok, message me when you have a spare slot and I'll do the same or pay for a tech deal for you.

I'm still working on the font, I tried a couple of those font identifier websites and posted a request on a forum for someone to identify it for me too, so fingers crossed. :D

Not sure if you can find the exact font, though. Looked for it on deviantart(used it to find related fonts) and on some old Suikoden community forums and didn't find any info on it.
So, the best shot would be using dafont to find a font at least similar.

here's something to help:
http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=502&nb_ppp=50&af=on&text=Suykoden
Just browse that page until you find something you like.

I'm a bit late to the party... and Scorponok's flag is awesome (also hello long time Scorp !) but here is my try...
And agreed to on the fact that Antonio Salovega's work is absolutey incredible on banners and flag...

Greetings folks:

I've been told to look at this thread. It looks like you have some interesting flags here. I would offer you some counsel though. Always remember that your flag represents your alliance. If your alliance is sanctioned in the future, consider what your flag will look like at 80 pixels in height or when it goes to the Amazing Sanction Race at 18-20 pixels in height. As your flag gets smaller, is it still representing you in a recognizable way?

Could you take a picture of your flag to a high school Home Economics class and have one of the students make it for you? or is it too complicated?

Could a six to eight year old child armed with a box of crayons come up with a recognizable facsimile? Or is it way to difficult?

If these questions are troubling, consider having no more than one major symbol and keep the number of colors to no more than two or three.

North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) has a very simple guide that you can easily read in under 5 minutes. It is found [url=http://www.nava.org/Flag%20Design/GFBF/gfbf-1.htm][b]HERE[/b][/url]. It has some excellent guidelines.

It looks like you have some good designers already but if you need my help in designing a flag, I can be reached either through this forum's messaging system or by in-game messaging. This is an example of my work which I did just for fun back when the GRL was higher than many of the Alliance's score. It is what I call a full alliance package.

I'll take that as a compliment I hope :P.

Thanks.

And Antonio, lovely artwork there ;).

I think they are all pretty. But they don't look like flags.

Flags in the real world normally follow some basic heraldry rules and are much simpler. Colors don't fade from one color to another, for example. Backgrounds aren't textured.

Naturally, you don't have to have flags that would work as real-world flags, and many of the flags used in CN would never work in the real world. If it doesn't matter to you, well, it's your alliance.

The link Antonio Salovega VI gave is very useful if you want your flag to look like a real flag.
