TBH I'm not so sure about what should be a good source and in some senses I'm overgeneralizing a bit: some anarchists wouldn't agree or perhaps more interestingly, would consider it fundamentally uninteresting. Individualist anarchists of the egoist - "what is good is that which maximizes my welfare" or perhaps "a good action is that which is determined by my interests alone" - stripe would go that way, but it's not that large a tendency in anarchist thought.

Before getting into anarchism proper, I'd recommend you to read about Marx who's the father of the idea I described. I recommend reading two short books., First, read the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels. Just read it as a primary source and take into account what the world was like in 1848 and for the time being try not to worry what historical consequences you might ascribe to it or not: I'm not an communist, but there is time and place for everything. Secondly I liked Peter Singer's slim volume Marx: A Very Short Introduction. It's very lucid, written by a famous contemporary philosopher (who is not a communist) and only 120 pages long. Third would be to read about anarchism and in that I can't help you, but I shall put the main thing like this: Marx and the anarchists like Bakunin disagreed mainly on the methods by which to bring communism into fruition. Marx wanted a transitory state governed by the working class, but anarchists wanted to dispense with the state as fast as possible.

Lastly: a diagram of the idea that I alluded to, but after reading my recommendations you'll have a better idea of what the implications are.

I have The World Encyclopedia of Flags myself and I was honestly very surprised about the quality of the book and how much information it has. I've got one of those flag books that just shows the national flag, and then just has geographical information about each country, but this one actually has information about each flag and when it was adopted, as well as subnational flags and just general information about the field of vexillology, including history and design practices.

And then I read Worth Dying For last year and eh... I wouldn't recommend it. Sure, it had some interesting information, but overall, I just couldn't get with Marshall's writing style and it just felt a bit, eh, juvenile I guess is the word I would use.

However, I also read a book called Flag, Nation and Symbolism in Europe and America, edited by Thomas Hylland Eriksen and Richard Jenkins, which is a collection of research papers about the symbolism of flags. Or like, social symbolism, social context, etc. It's not a book that's filled with tidbits of information or really anything about flag design per say, but more like, about how people relate to flags and the role that flags can play in a national identity.

I can also recommend reading articles from Raven or Flag Research Quarterly for anyone who is interested in the scholarly side of vexillology. The article Flags in Context: A Discussion of Design, Genre, and Aesthetics by Perry Dane, published in 2008, is one that I think could be of particular interest to people on this sub. It's sort of like an answer to Good Flag, Bad Flag, so yeah.

(I wrote my final thesis about flag design and the New Zealand flag referendum, so... that's why I've been nerding out on these.)

Picture, for the curious

Edit: Not tail lights, but if you're going to decorate your car with USA, these look pretty good on a Mustang, imo.

Wow, it's still getting reprinted. Is it worth its money for someone interested in obscure languages and writing systems?

u/DoritoMage · 4 pointsr/vexillology

Here’s the one I used: The red wasn’t the exact hue I was hoping for, but it was definitely still acceptable. I’m just really picky.

I got it from an Amazon seller called "Country Flag". You can get your own here.

I got it because I had got some Amazon credit and I enjoy trash.

u/Viktor-Vreth · 1 pointr/vexillology

Got the idea from this Amazon flag. Spartan helmet from here. Writing leads "Molon Labe", a Spartan motto meaning "Come and take (them)". The Lambdas are in red to signify the symbol the Spartans used, as Lambda was the first letter of the Spartan region of Laconia (Λακωνία). The red used is the same shade of red of the lambda in this image.

If anyone can find the cross from the Amazon flag or suggest any improvements to the flag, I'd be happy to take them on.

Personally I like this design more: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKQRCKJ

And yes that is my Amazon store. Should be available in about a week, I've gotta ship it to the warehouse tomorrow.

I think this is more of a "fan flag" thing. The basic idea of putting a college athletics logo in a solid canton of the university's major color, and then stripes of the canton and white or the school's secondary color are very common. 1 2 3

I think it's mostly that one company's (Sports Flags and Pennants Company) doing. Coincidently, given the number of schools with some shade of blue and white as their colors, half of them look like Greece.

Found this on Amazon. I'd love to find a place to buy a cheap 3x5 version to match the rest of my flag collection.

u/JoeInAtlanta · 2 pointsr/vexillology

You can download a free sample if you have the Kindle app.

Alternately, there's a newer book with a similar title by the same author (A Flag Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of National Symbols), for which you can download a free sample on Google Play.

It's an engaging read, if perhaps a little simplistic, that very gives a whilstle stop tour of how flags around the world have come to represent ideas to unite under or against. It goes a little into the technical aspects of flags but primarily focuses on their cultural importance.

In the Middle East Rome was called Rum or Roum. Thus the eastern Roman or "Byzantine" emperor was called the Kaiser-i-Rum in the Middle East.

So in my opinion a punning flag for an island named Rum would be a "Byzantine" looking flag like "Gules, a two headed eagle displayed or", or possibly the flag with the cross and the four Betas or firesteels.
