Reproduced Flags

Has anyone reproduced a flag from any Startrek Series? If so, how did you do it and can you post pictures. Thaks.
 
I haven't, but I hope someone else has. I'd love to have them for wallpapers.
Come to think of it, do they still use flags by then?

This small Andorian (Epsilon Indi VIII) seal, from the Franz Joseph "ST Technical Manual", was made by me in about 1982 for a convention, by using modelling tools on a piece of thin copper, filling the back depressions with wax, filling the front sections with cold enamel (similar to Araldite two-part liquid glue, with powdered colour stirred in before it sets), and the lettering with Letraset.

The original has holes in the top corners to create a pendant, hung from metallic gold-toned leather thonging, but I disguised the holes in Photoshop for use as an image on my website in 1997.

The original b/w graphic in the book had a colour-coding key, recommending the order of the rainbow colours. Of course, why would Andorians use "EI" (for Epsilon Indi) on their own shield?

"Starship Exeter" created their own version, with an Andorian native logo in the center, when they did "The Savage Empire" fan film.

I think the original poster is asking if anyone has created an actual, physical, flyable Federation flag.

Come to think of it, do they still use flags by then?

Um, yeah. We've only seen the Federation Flag and other flags, like, five hundred thousand million quintillion trillion times. And at baseball games. ;)
My humble apologies, I didn't know you had actually attended events in the future. ;)
What the RESPONDER (me) meant was... Will all these alien civilizations feel a need for heraldry in the way EARTHLINGS currently do? I've always thought that we make quite a few assumptions about the similarity of alien cultures. Perhaps because we feel more comfortable if they are a lot like us. :vulcan:
 

Some very interesting ones on that site. The UFP member logos are especially neat. Some are based on on-screen viewing obviously (like Vulcan, Trill and Bajor) but others I guess they just used creativity. Risa's kinda cute, although putting a Horgon on it is kinda tacky when you consider what it's used for. ;) And Zakdorn's looks like a sperm for some reason. :lol:
Love to see them add some others like Betazed, Denobula, Rigel, Tellar, etc etc...
