Alternate Flag of Belarus
If only the coat of arms was slightly lower down so the green lined up perfectly
I kinda like it how it is since it looks like a hill
I think both of you want the same
Yea...Maybe if it was slightly larger? Putting it off balance to fit the green would be a big No, but making it slightly larger to fit like its a hill, would work
Yeah, but if it was a little bit lower, the base of the hill would line up perfectly with the green.
Pretty much like this - https://i.imgur.com/FHcxSYI.png
Beauty!
Or just slightly bigger.
Garhungy?
As a Belarusian myself, I actually quite like it. Good Job!
The protestors succeed and the Lukashenkos flee to Russia. The Pahonia resembles the lithuanian coat of arms too much, so the new belarusian government decides to redesign to make it more distingtable from the lithuanian coat of arms. They decided to redesign aswell to suit better to the changed Pahonia. A green stripe is added underneath the red stripe, representing the fertile lands and the hope of the belarusian people for a better and prosperous future. They keep the coat of arms in the flag to make it even more distinctable from Bulgaria. (that is White, green, red).
PS: the different shades of red in the Pahonia are not an accident. I used 2 different shades of red, so the shield and the saddling distinguishes more from the background of the coat.
What is happening in Belarus right now? I only knew there were mass protests
Lukashenko rigged elections(once again) and violently suppresses peaciful protests all over the country. Workers are striking, people are leaving their jobs at government/police and side with protesters, presidential candidates are leaving country in fear of getting arested
Yeah the only political entity besides the currently underfunded opposition opposing Lukanhesko is the old Belarusian rada but their base of operations is all the way in new york
It's got that Commonwealth vibe to it
I like it - Can you make it even simpler?
• actually is harder than I espected, because the simpler i make it, the more it looks like the vitys of Lithuania - i tried everything but i am never happy with the result
!wave
Belarus but even more fash
And why exactly would this be preferable over the white red white triband frequently flown in Belarusian ptitests and the previous national flag? and since you care about distinguishedness so much, it would be unique flag design hard to mistake for any other flag. And it wouldn't have green and red bordering each other.
as i said - it is based around an alternated coat of arms - because the actual pahonia resembles the current lithuanian coat of arms too much.
The Pahonia is white and red - to distinguish it from the lithuanian one i added a green hill. Now that the alternated pahonia is red-white-green, i also wanted to include green in the flag. (i actually just looked for an excuse to add green to the flag, as the current flag of belarus is red white and green aswell)
I don't really see how the Pahonia being similar to Lithuania's flag is a problem, as both countries are successor states to the grand duchy of Lithuania which used the Vytis figure on their coat of arms which is the origin of the Pahonia and the Lithuanian coat of arms. And honestly, given how unpopular Lukashenkos regime is I don't think people would place alot of value on keeping design similarities to the current flag
Pretty solid! Good work.
looks great, I like it.
Would it look better with the white at the bottom and the green at the top, so the grass in the coat of arms doesn't make the green look like it's bulging?
Is belarus changing its flag? And why?
Protesta in Belarus. Search It.
Crazy how some people in this thread still have no idea what's going on in Belarus
This should be main flag
But what if we only use the tricolor?
Overthrow that dictator and adopt this beautiful flag!
Make Belarus Lithuanian again
Reminds me of the flag of North Rhine-Westphalia https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/Flag_of_North_Rhine-Westphalia_%28state%29.svg
Too Bulgarian for one thing.
Bulgarus
This should be a serious candidate. Loved the unique version of the Pahonia, as well as the colours.
Green touching red is just not a good look. If Luka falls and Belarus rejoins Russia I'd love to see them implement this bison flag as the official flag of their republic: https://fotw.info/images/b/by%7Dzubr1.gif
Green touching red is not a bad look whatsoever (refer to Bulgaria, Portugal, Lithuania, etc)
