Imagine that The Coffee House was a country. What would its flag be? That's for you to decide . Design a flag for us, and post it here. The rules are as follows:Number of entries: Up to 5, but only your best one will be counted. Closing date: Friday 20th July 2012 at 11:59pm GMT Prizes: 50 posts for 1st place; 30 posts for 2nd place; 10 posts for 3rd place; 5 posts for everyone else. Here are some suggestions (but not absolute rules): 1) Keep it simple! As a rule of thumb, if you can't do it in MS Paint, it's probably too complicated. 2) Avoid using lettering, especially writing "The Coffee House" or anything like that. The whole point of a flag is that you don't have to write whose it is. 3) Try to use relevant colours and symbols. Good luck! |

Here's my first entry:![]() If I'm not allowed to use the coffee mug logo, you can withdraw this entry and I'll make something else. |

Nice! You're certainly allowed to use the coffee mug logo. I'd actually encourage it .

Well, to be fair, I did implicitly encourage the use of MS Paint !It's still a pretty nice flag, though. |

CJ, this is completely your project, and I love the idea. However, I do have an idea that you may consider or shoot down. How about presenting the winning flag on our front page or banner? I know you choose the winner, and that's fine. But maybe we could make a separate thread where the Coffee House community votes for their favorite (out of the three or something) to put as the best flag on the first page. Just an idea. That being said, I will do some thoughtful thinking before submitting my entry. Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Jul 13 2012, 12:45 AM.

I like that idea. Actually, I could select one flag from each entrant, and we could decide the contest by voting on it. |

Sounds good to me. Personally, I'd want the grand prize to be having my flag presentable more than 50 posts, though I assume either or both will work. Whatever you decide though I support. I will still attempt to enter either way. |

That's true. A flag wouldn't look terribly good on the banner, but that's the only place where I can think of using it. Still, I would be more than willing to use it somewhere else, if a use could be found for it. |

It would be possible to display it there, but I don't think it would really serve any purpose. It would just be there for the sake of it being there. |

Maybe just add it to the code list and maybe a little graphic of it at the top/bottom of the pages? |

I don't know. If we were going to use it at all, I'd want it to serve an actual purpose, rather than just being there for the sake of being there. Unfortunately, no such purpose seems to exist. I could make an emoticon of it, but that's just about all that I can think of. EDIT: And Daniel thinks of it just as I do .

I think that would work. Otherwise, what's there really to work for it's made once and forgotten? Isn't it supposed to represent our forum? EDIT: I'd be fine with the emoticon. Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Jul 14 2012, 09:07 PM.

I could maybe use it in a couple of the graphics, for example, replacing the navigation marker with it. |
