Bitcoin Forum

I noticed that bitcoin is one of the few *major* currencies without a flag.  So I trawled the forum or some designs and put together:

http://bitflag.org/

On another thread, someone suggested I open this up to the community and allow anyone interested to donate a design.  

Perhaps one day we can have an "official" bitcoin flag.

If anyone can come up with more designs I can run a poll in the community to select the best one.

For now, I'll leave this one "flying", tho.  

In cryptography we trust!

I think the background in all black was better nop ?

add this music to the background

Neat! As long as we remember that Bitcoin is not a nation-state of any description, of course.

lol, loving the 01001100101's

Great flag. love it.

Suggestion: perharps a "dont' tread on me" could be added somewhere.

The unofficial flag of bitcointalk  :D

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

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

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

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 :-)

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.

Nationalism sucks.

Im glad that bitcoinland has no boundaries

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.

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...

loved the flag btw!

i vote this one

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 own the original PSD from the designer.

With a casascius coin instead of a cannon.

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 ...

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.

Time to leave this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Federation_of_Vexillological_Associations

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 (https://coinurl.com) ads on there! ;)

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

great thread
