Description Here be the flag from the Alliance, of my ComCom timeline. If any of you have played Mass Effect, you might notice the inspiration This flag was adopted upon the creation of the Alliance, out of the wreckage of the League of Allied Nations (LoAN), and the flag is reminiscent of the LoAN flag. Originally, the flag was planned to include a ring of stars around the central symbol, one for each major power of the Alliance, but with a breakdown of easily categorised national and subnational powers, the idea was replaced with a central star to represent the overall unity of the Alliance, instead.

I have seen both the Coalition’s flag and the flag of the Alliance. Both look really great but I believe that the Coalition’s flag can better if there was no text on it.
Coalition.

Question: when you going to make the Union’s flag?

Thank you The idea of the text was to make it clearly different from the sort of culture represented in the Alliance, but I might look into something else when I work through the next installment of the timeline

I already did [link]

Everybody loves Mass Effect! And the flag is just really nice!

So I guess this Alliance is pretty much interplanetary version of LoAN, but can thou give me an explanation of the symbolism of it? I mean, why those patterns (aside from the fact that it looks REALLY nice )? What does the ridge in the middle mean?

Thou know, before I read the description, I thought thou'd made a flag for the Systems' Alliance from Mass Effect.

Anyways, I think I'm going to favourite this one, just because it looks to so damn nice!

Thanks In all honesty, it's mostly just all to look cool but I also wanted it to share design elements with the LoAN flag ([link] ), thus the split arch and the split stripes, like the LoAN flag's circle.

Hello, fellow online role playing and Mass Effect video gaming fan.

I am curuous about the glad other than I wanted to say beautiufl job on this pecie of art. Is your ComCom universe, which I had read as much and best I could in detail recently, is of your own twist of the Command & Conquer Red Alert series or Tom Clancy's with Mass Effect?

Thanks for the compliments

I started the ComCom timeline after I made [link] actually. I made the flag first, then the first maps, and it's just sort of grown from there I get most of my inspirations from what people ask me about the flags and maps too - I tend to write far more after I've posted them up and had a few comments than I do before I make them, lol.

Cool looking flag, is it like the Earth/Human flag in Mass Effect? I've not seen that.

The two wing-like parts looking like an A are. One with three stars is shown at the start of the game, but the recurring one in the game itself has a picture of Earth in the middle *shrugs*

Yeah, Mass Effect is nothing if not full of clichés, but it's still not a bad game
