Its the coolest, though. The coolest things are usually the hardest to creat/re-creat.

No, sadly, bethesda says that we are allowed to use and build the language but they only do that because we aren't making money. We could still have posters and how-to make a shirt with the design and stuff, just not for sale.

I really felt like this was the wrong flag for the job. It has a catchy design, but to me, it is just a cool drawing and not a flag. I was prepared to hang a Dovahzul flag outside my house, but if I use this design, people will think it's a demon instead of a Dragon and make undue assumptions. I really should have submitted the one I liked. I figured that since Paarthurnax said it wasn't what we were looking for, that the design wouldn't make it to the voting, but honestly I have no idea how the #1 and #2 flags made it to the finals. #3 was the only one that actually 'looks' like a flag, and #2 & #4 did not even follow the guidelines of the assignment.
I am incredibly disappointed in this community and I have a difficult time taking this as seriously as I once did.
While I mean no direct offense to the creators of the designs, I feel let down by the outcome of the vote. Flags are heavily symbolic, and to me the flag that won was simply a cool design, and did not convey the symbolism that a flag should. For instance, if this were a real flag, the circle surrounding the dragon head sillouette would have a specific meaning. If it were a runestone outline around the dragon head, it would have symbolism. This is just my opinion. I have no intention of hurting feelings. This is just a matter of the flashy overcoming that which has content.

Again, this is just my opinion, and I mean no offense or insult.
