what does the flame mean?

Liberty, I guess (like the one held by the statue of liberty)

Pyromaniac Rangers

I read that as Pyromancer Rangers.

In order to fight the fire you must control the fire

Sounds like Iroh

There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

I am a fire fighter, I fight fire... with fire

Pyrocynical Rangers

Fire watch?

No. For those I'd make it a reddish color. I meant more like the U.S. national park service or similar.

Firewatch is part of the park service

Yes part. Which is why the flame being a part of the flag is fitting. But if it where for just the Firewatch it wouldn't fit quite as well. Atleast not in ranger green.

game wardens?

Hmm for them you'd want a bear, deer or other large animal on it though right?

But something like that.

Elk antlers framing the seal.

But it needs a torch.

You guess? lmao didn't you literally make the flag?!

Right (i intended it to represent liberty but maybe it is unclear)

Shoulda been a drone.

Prometheus's fire?

- "So, what should we put in the flag of Communist U.S.A.?"

- "A flame representing liberty."

- "You're fired."

I assume it's like the Statue of Liberty's torch

The the tip of the spire atop the world trade center is also flame, exactly 1776 feet high

“Dis chikn lit af”

its probably for something like natural gas or oil. you know how the usa is

Gays. Happy pride month.

Don't let the inviting shades and its underlying message deceive you

Instead of "comrade" they use "partner"

No, Pardner

This is the one

Howdy partner from Texas!

I really like this flag

it’s much nicer than the one we have to be honest

Easy there partner.

A good touch is at the top, instead of a flame, how about thirteen stars?

Or go PRC style and have the stars form a half-moon around the eagle.

I should point out each star means something and is supposed to represent the ideology of not only the PRC but Maoism in general.

It represents the unity of peasants, industrial workers, the petit bourgeoisie, and the national bourgeoisie through the Communist Party (the big star).

How would it work in America?

I mean, GA, SA, NC, VA, MD, DE, PA, NJ, NY, MA, CT, RI and NH kind of make sense, and then somebody can make up thirteen reasons like we have for the red white and blue (valor, purity and justice).

I wanna see this suggested version

yeah, like the arangement on the passport

I think it would be better with 13 Stars around the eagle.

13 to symbolise the original colonies? Does that now seem a little exclusive the other 40+ states? (not from US so don't know exact numbers)

I mean the other states would acknowledge the 13 starts and their meaning and they would not complain that much

We already use 13 stripes and no one cares about that

50 states 6 territories. 1 of the territories, our capital is basically a state but not, and the actual territories are so distant they really should be independant, some dumb americans think they already are.

DC is a territory? Interesting, though the Australian capital is in a territory too so that shouldn't be surprising to me lol.

DC is a "federal enclave" for all intents and purposes its a state but they cant decide their own laws like states, or even have a representative in congress (one that gets a vote anyway) so its a state that's treated like a territory.

After thinking about it for awhile I decided to try and create what you suggested, let me know what you think

R7: This is a redesign of the flag of the United States based on the structure of the Soviet flag; the ideology of this flag's America would still be democratic

American Flag if the CPUSA actually was successful at all?

Thanks! And I agree, I love the blue used in the regular American flag, and I tried to use one fairly similar

Hey OP, Can I get a zoomed in HD version of just the Crest on a blue background for a phone background?

Sure; I won't be home until tomorrow, but I'll make sure to make one and maybe use it myself

Yeah that is definitely a sexy crest man. I’ll keep an eye out for that background too.

Thirded on the background! Thank you in advance :)

Here it is : There's the original one and other two with filters (I personally like the last one). The resolution is as high as possible; it's fine, but not extremely great.

Edit: added another one: http://imgur.com/a/88zijpT

Perfect

This looks almost identical to the UNSC Spartan program logo from the Halo series

Can only make an eagle so different.

I like this.

Flame is bad... should be a star, stars are big flames anyway, don’t argue.

union of the United states

If you made the flame red, then your version would maintain America's Red, White, and Blue colors!

Are you r/vexillology's Vincent Van Gogh or something?

Soviet Union in the style of the United States?

I did my best to find the following flags:

United States

Good bot. Not here, though, I think we know what the American flag looks like

Do you think I should remove the American flag from his list of flags? I thought maybe internationals would like having it.

On the one hand I'm pretty sure nobody needs an American flag pulled up, but on the other hand that could also apply to a bunch of other flags. The US and maybe Canadian flag would be good ones to take off, though, since they're both pretty well-known.

Thank you for your suggestions! I am working hard to improve the bot. I've made a discord if you want to contribute ideas or help do data-grooming. https://discord.gg/vvbRGbR

I'm in favor of equal representation, if for nothing else than to promote a good bot.

This is really good, that shade of blue is perfect

I can already imagine each state's flag based on this, like each of the Soviet Republics.

Minor criticism, but the flag of the USSR was for several nations, and this is for I presume one? Would be cool to see that expanded on.

The Soviet flag represented the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a single state, just like how the US flag represents the Union of the separate states.

Not exactly a fair comparison, given that Russia itself was a union within the union, with states within it under its jurisdiction.

The USSR was, ultimately, a highly centralized federated state. From a vexillological standpoint, the fact that the SSR flags are defaced versions of the Soviet flag is especially notable.

I really like this actually, it eschews the number of states, so you don't have to worry about expansion later on.

I think the Fire doesn't make much sense though, i guess the Fire of the liberty Torch.

Its also missing Red, which is understandable since this is a USSR-ish flag.

If words were to be added (some version of the Soviet flag had CCCP), "United We Stand" would be a good phrase to use, getting rid of "In God We Trust" at the same time for secular reasons.

Okay I love this

Eagle is facing the wrong way

Good work comrade

I made a few tweaks to this AWESOME concept:

  • replaced the flame with the 13-star arrangement that used to appear on the seal

  • reversed the direction of the eagle's head to imply war

  • added a red stripe along the end so that this flag would be a bit more discernible (from any other blue flag) in use

This is gorgeous. Can I use it for a fiction piece?

Might work better with the All-Seeing Eye instead of the flame over the eagle.

Seeing all your ideas I might try to do some edits of the flag, not until tomorrow tho

Have you tried a version where it's just crossed arrows and laurel leaves? Would be more close to original, although likely not as recognizable.

My democracy is very confused right now.

It shouldn't be.

This is lit.

Well, there’s my new wallpaper.

I like it

Yo this is really good

USSA: The United Soviet States of America

Sweet

the sign should centered.

[deleted]

I love this so much

I really like this

While unifying the stars makes sense and I love how clean this is, adding a stripe of red behind the eagle would be magnificent. I'd only make it extend a bit past the eagle on the left, the thin blue stripe would look very clean.

Alternative history; USSR survives, by using last minute reforms, and slowly, but surely - annexes most of the Warsaw Pact, tensions rapidly increase, and the threat to Europe, and freedom is constant. USA must take action, and it must be done NOW. Mobilization of the army begins, extensive training and propaganda are all present. The US is in a state fully prepared and ready for war, and most citizen know that it's inevitable. They change the flag, as the spies report rapid movement of Soviet forces to the German borders. Both sides know, that the so-called 'cold war' is soon not cold, it will be hot, or it will likely turn green. Nuclear weapons are a last resort, but if needed, they will be used. US must take action before the USSR can build up forces, and they do so by rapidly reforming NATO, and desperately aiding countries that soon will turn communist. A blitz attack, that is being decided. All depends on the one advantage, one card that the US holds. Professional spies, they are known to man to be the best, but even the best cannot get their hands on the most classified information.

Any chance of getting it without .jpg artifacting?

I think the eagle is more or less a nationalistic icon,

The USSR flag was more about an Ideology rather than National Symbols (it doesn't really have any russian elements), I think maybe another symbol for democracy would be better than the US eagle when it comes to representing the ideas like Liberty and Democracy. Maybe a torch like this or olive branches would work.

Anyways, Thanks for making this flag, I loved it! *upvotes with both of my hands

PS: Maybe a little bit of red to that flame would look better

This is a much better flag we should use it irl

It looks better than the flag why have now. The US flag is so ugly.

I like this communist America flag. But still fuck commies

the creator has stated that the flag is still for a democratic america

Could possibly be democratic and communist

You can't have either without the other in my opinion.

We don't have a functional democracy because of capitalist inequality. The USSR didn't have functional communism because it wasn't democratic enough.

I like the communist America flag. Glory to USSA

I like the communist America.

The United Soviet States of America

I was thinking more United Socialist States Of America but that works

Commie bastard

Commie bastard and proud

Bastard is classist and doesn't affect communists as a dig.

"Ha ha, you are illegitimate and won't be able to inherit your father's property and titles!"

"Well, yeah."

I adore this flag, may I please use it for fiction writing?
