Even so, wouldn't it be better to use the actual voivodship flag?

Maybe the historical region or the present voivodeship coa would be the most representative?

Quote:
Does the old Lwów CoA really represent the entire former eastern territory? And were these dialects uniform anyway?

I can make another one with the Lithuanian Pogoń for the Northern Kresy.

Anyway, maybe additional icon for the New Western Mixed Dialects.

Really nice, cedh! The helmet would also work well! I'm thinking maybe we should adjust the colors a bit tho, to get a more "ancient" feel to it, maybe to some kind of grayscale or the black and brick color seen on old amphoras. What do you think?

What about these? Image Image

Would it be possible to make the owl in black on a brick colored background? [:)]

I was rather thinking, that as you use the flags and not the CoA for all the other voivodships, wouldn't it be better to be consistent here to, even if you don't personally like the flag? [:P]

At least the Pomorze, Wielkopolska and Mazowsze flags have their coats of arms conposed in their flags. (And the actual flag is not so recognisable.)
And its only for main linguistical and ethnographical regions. ;-) Or shall I make it more for voivodeships?

Edit: I also see that there already is the Cashubian flag.

Ah, I might have misunderstood the intent then. What do you personally think is better?

Both contain the Kuyavian eagle-lion, the latter symbolizes the "extended" voivodeship, whereas the former presents the historical region, it's also more "clear". So, Image.

I made Cajun, Valencian, and Tajik icons: Image Image Image

I also made two versions of the Ka hae kanaka maoli and the flag of Lesotho- I'm not happy with any of them, but pick whichever one looks better, or someone else can try and do a better version.
Image Image Image Image

and two more versions of the gothic icon: ImageImage

EDIT: Newfoundland and Labrador: Image

EDIT again: Åland: Image

Took a stab at it- I don't think I'd be able to get the black-on-brick scheme to work without redrawing the owl, which I'm too lazy to do right now. I did some variations on a red-figure version, though:

EDIT: forgot one. Image

Anacharis those are awesome! I'm leaning towards the one in your edit note, what do others think? [:)]

They're all nice, but the last one has a nicer contrast IMO. The first one is also nice.

I quite like the fourth one. 5th one is good as well.

Looks like a consensus is developing in favor of that last owl icon. It's probably my favorite of the bunch, too.

Anyway, I just added shading to the Argentine, Bangladeshi, Chechen, Irish, Iron, Italian, Jamtish, Nunavut, and Papuan icons:
