Revision as of 15:19, 5 June 2023
Talk:Trixic
So months back, I made a slight redesign of one of these flags (specifically the 3-striped one with the flower), to just change the flower.
It looks a bit difficult to reproduce, and me and everyone I've showed it to confused the poppy for a tulip. I took it upon myself then to simplify it and make it more poppy-like, and tried to add a subtle touch of nonbinary symbolism by orienting the flowers' petals diagonally, like an X. I also created these (the flag and standalone flower image) as vector images, so that the flower symbol could be more easily reproduced and reused, and not lose quality at different sizes.
Now, since the flag I based it on was added by a wiki anon and had no source I assumed I could add mine too just like that, but my upload requests were denied, so I suppose I should ask here (and possibly leave this as a documentation of its creation): may I add these to the flags section of the page?
