I will pay 50 million ISK to anyone who can create me a flag for my FTL channel and its governing council. You can find info about the two here (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1363005).
It should have standard flag dimensions, with colors and themes that represent unity, diplomacy, and cooperation.
Cheap Example

Notice the colors reflecting the different empires and organizations, and the overall light feel.
Evemail me or PM me whatever you have, and the one I like best will be given the ISK. I'd like something by Wednesday, September 4th. Good luck!

I understand what the first four colors represented as the central symbol are: Gold/Amarr, Green/Gallente, Red/Minmatar, and Blue/Caldari.
Who is represented by the fifth and sixth colors?
-
One of them would likely be SoE (the yellowish brown). Not sure about the others. CONCORD is kind of redundant in the scheme. I assume that the actual states of the Ammatar Mandate and Khanid Kingdom are grouped as "Amarr". That'd pretty much leave the Intaki Syndicate and Interbus. Of which the Syndicate might fit.
So, in anti-clockwise order, Amarr, Gallente, Minmatar, Caldari, Intaki, Sisters of Eve? Though in that company, SoE kind of stands out as smaller than the others (well, Intaki too, but they at least have a region).

Change the background color. Makes eyes bleed.
Also have the central standard as is to an extent, but leave room on the flag for satellite council representatives in all four corners at the very least.

I couldn't hold it any longer. I had to post this here for your flag.

Your eyes are too close together.

I would change the flag, but it's an actual flag I edited, and the only one that could fit. Here's the original:

I am looking for less UN, more EVE-canon related. Oh, and the colors that were remaining were just placeholders.
-
You didn't comment on the flag... :cry:
Do you know how many gay pride flags there are? That took me a long time to find!
Anyway, stay awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy from the UN. Seriously. Most RP'ers are intelligent enough to know what's going on in the world, so everyone knows the UN is essentially pointless, outdated and completely ineffective.
... not really attributes I'd like people sub-consciously associating with this...

Opinion.
Anyway, I'm not doing UN RP at all. I just know that the UN has several flags that fit the overall theme of "cooperation". I wouldn't look for national flags.
If not a flag, a logo would be fine too.
-
Don't derail my humor with your logical srs bsns.
-
Alright, any takers?
If not, you have all forced me to cry. I hope you're happy.
-
I will take you up on it...hope you like this. I could easily see this on the hull of an NEA ship, if there were any.

Changed the end date, there's still some time.

Like the IGS then?

No, Nikita. The IGS is what the roleplaying community makes of it as a whole. When people decide using it for the purpose it is meant for, then it will be used for that purpose. If you fall into the trap like everyone else in turning every thread into the game of 'hurl an insult as the person above you', then of course... it becomes worthless.
A person may roll their eyes or complain, but that is the truth of it. And it starts with the few that understand that.
I respect Ben's project in what he is trying to achieve, and if executed properly, has much potential to be an important role in politics. If there is one thing we are to learn from this event, is that even information, media, and peacekeeping shouldn't be completely centralized and controlled especially by a suspicious race. If we are doing everything else down to controlling rescources on planets, why are still trusting the NPCs on these aspects of life? ;)
We should let the people make organizations to run these. I also think Arcadia News Network (http://www.arcadianewsnetwork.net/) should be promoted more and be expanded if it can.

I was actually offered 500mil with which to pay freelancers and such for articles. However, my backer never came through, which was rather unfortunate.
I've been giving some thought to either shutting it down or making a real push for it, as it's just dead weight at the moment. Problem is, I don't have the time to write stuff myself, and it's damn near impossible to find good people who'll write for free. >.>

Here's a mock up, Ben... suggestions please.

That is very nice. But I'm am receiving IC designs for our flag and logo from April Knox and her corp designers. Was going to edit the thread.
However, I paid Syn Callibri for her submission, and I'll pay you as well. I can find a way to use them, somehow.
Thread is done, thanks for the submissions and congrats.

Excellent work! <applauds>

My submission for a flag of the NEA, with a six-pointed start representing the five empires as well as the equally vast entities that go unrepresented in the CONCORD Assembly all brought together from across the cluster.

Reminds me of a 70s disco club logo.
And I love disco, so that's a good thing. But yeah, unfortunately I have what I needed. I can use that, perhaps, for another possible group though, that's within the Assembly. Never know.
Thanks Ken.
-
Blast! The Caldari delegation files a formal petition in support of the disco flag. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-FhczpCZ84)

As discussed and arranged with the client. CROW is making public it’s submission for the NEA Assembly logo and flag. The BW versions of the aforementioned Corporate Image Program follow. All vector and bitmap based material has been already sent to the client.

I think I preferred Bureeiku's tbh.
No offense I hope April.
-
Not at all Nikita! Thou bear in mind I just posted the BW versions only. We are still exporting the color ones and banging our heads against Pantone's colormatch.
-
Ooo. I really like the use of perspective in the graphics, April. 8)
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Nikita, although it really only matters what best serves Ben's purposes.
My only suggestion would be to try a more 'futuristic' font, if you feel so inclined. (e.g. http://www.1001freefonts.com/sci-fi-fonts.php)
This stuff is fun.
-
Personally I try to avoid the freeware fonts because most of the times they are a single dose / disposable type. Meaning if someone used it and makes top-of-mind, if you come up in 2nd place you’ve lost the race beforehand. That’s something that will never happen if you stick to the “true” (sic) types.
