great thread

It's really choppy. Considering the day and age, it should run at 30FPS minimum.

I am the designer.

I made it for the flag contest buy no one responded if i won the contest or not?

tsupp4, I assume was the person that contacted me and paid me a royalty to use the design for commerical purposes.

You can give credit somewhere to mc_lovin/maplesyrupghost at bitcointrading.com and throw bitcoins in here -> 13D51GfEfS7MCUfsfFvcYsv9DthrRkauzv

Nice site by the way! 

You should put up some CoinURL ads on there!

I do not have a design but an idea for a base concept of a Bitcoin flag.

A lot of people have a lot of political opinions from one end to the other end in the bitcoin community. A lot people speak different languages all around the world. All of them (and all of us) wants to use bitcoin. I am far from anti gun or anti military, but some would find any type of gun representations or military visual implications not compatible with their views for example and that would be perfectly fine. Latin quotes are nice and all. But the Roman empire died when again? And Latin would have zero historical values for (maybe) Asian civilizations for example.
The bitcoin logo in itself is not the definitive answer as it is still in many way representing the past, reminding us the dollar and the euro. A "design genie" could re invent it 3 months from now and everyone could love it. We need to define a common platform all of us agree then, the designers would focus better.

What if we could simply use the universal language of Math as a symbol for the flag, the core of bitcoin itself? I have no idea what the bitcoin code is, but what if all the coders agreed on an equation that symbolizes bitcoin and the network in a few lines as powerful (like E=MC2) first.

Then that equation could be represented with colors (color coded) and something that is like an abstract QR code.

As long as the fundamental bitcoin equation is represented in one shape or another (based on the creative minds) it would then be easier to create a "flag" everyone would get withing a half of second.

Great ... is it ok to use your design?  I am happy to give the appropriate credit and add your bitcoin address.  Feel free to PM me ...

Bit flag is not for profit, just something fun for the community.

If it catches on, maybe we'll work out a way to print a flag you can hold ...

With a casascius coin instead of a cannon.

I own the original PSD from the designer.

This tune is really growing on me!

Thank you for the flag suggestions, keep them coming.  I'll let the community choose the best one then put a note under the flag crediting the author with their bitcoin address.

PS Dont worry about the animation, I can make any image "wave"

i vote this one

loved the flag btw!

Quite true (speaking as an American).

But I have no interest in bitcoin 'nationalism' or patriotism to a form of money.  My point in flying a flag like that would be to thumb my nose at the banks and gummint.

We're not all to be painted with the brush you wield...

In deed it does. Funny thing is how patriotic many americans are, yet there's decendants of people who forced their way into America hundreds of years ago, and took the land from the original inhabitants.

Im glad that bitcoinland has no boundaries

Nationalism sucks.

Existing Currencies have flags that represent nations... I don't see why bitcoin needs one.

Are there any flags for a nation-less currency out there?


P.S. Love the design though.

I do not like to be judgmental on the internet but your flag is not a flag. I suggested opening your site to talented people would be a great idea as sometime the one who had the vision and the original spark may not be the one carrying his team to victory. A 5 year old should be able to draw the bitcoin flag with a couple of crayons. It needs to inspire like when I was 5 and was making money by drawing $ signs on a peace of paper. If only I knew I WAS doing it just like the FEDS back then :-)

To be honest, I love the concept, but dislike the design.

I am totally going to rip that off and get a real flag made for my car...

As this is animated on canvas, why not make it move with the mouse too
