Context

I really liked the direction of this flag. Some people wanted a star, and I wanted one, so I added one star (for a federal socialist country).

Description

The charge represents an eagle facing it’s wings and beak (black trapezoid) towards a star (representing a socialist federal country).

Self-criticism

I probably should have used the blunt edge of the hammers as a beak, considering the blunt side of the hammer is the commonly used side; but that would look weird because beaks are always a triangle… right?

War-Flag variant.

Context

I noticed that the wings formed a heart shape; vertically flipping the wings, the flag looked like the bird was protecting something, so I elaborated on that approach. The birds face downward, like they are protecting the star.

The original flag; but the wings are flipped vertically and the hammer-and-eye-s have moved up. The star has flipped positions.
