Hi everyone, I’m back with another kbin icon pack. This time it’s flags for 18 EU countries (the non-fancy ones) + an EU flag. So 38 icons in total. All icons come in two styles: semi-transparent/glassy and opaque metallic. I also made a simple instance logo generator.

Flags
List of all countries included in this pack: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Sweden + an EU flag. Here are the previews for all the glassy and metallic icons.

All icons are rendered on transparent background. Don’t trim or change the aspect ratio of the image — the icons are carefully placed to avoid both cutout zones (small icon circle/banner rectangle). I’ve also changed the lighting setup a bit so that the icons should work well on both white and black backgrounds.

(edit: there turned out to be a few flag rotation mistakes, wait for an update please)

Instance mini-icon generator (that top left website logo)
Sample icon preview. Since this whole flag thing started from @cnk asking for a flag icon for his separate country-specific kbin instance, I also made a .psd file that would make it easy to create such an icon yourself. All you need to do is edit a smart group adding the flag (or any other image) of your choosing. The file also includes a preset for 2-, 3-, 4-striped, and cross flags. For those you’d need to only edit the colors.

Terms of use, just in case
You can use these icons for any community on any kbin instance. Attribution is not required, although I’d appreciate it if you link to my profile or to any of my communities. If you share these outside of kbin for non-commercial purposes, attribution is required (either to my profile or portfolio). Commercial use is forbidden.

Tips
Since I got asked about this a few times already, if you like or use something I made and would like to support me, you can tip me here, I’d appreciate it. But again, totally not required, you’re free to use the icons anyways.

Kbinicons community
I also started a community dedicated to these icons. There, you can request a specific icon or just lurk and see what’s new. If you want a flag icon for your community, request it in the pinned post. Or comment here.

    Ok, what the hell. This pdf shows the Dutch flag rotated clockwise, yet @melroy says it should be flipped. Googling shows both versions.

    So I can’t fully trust this pdf and have to double check all other rotations. Wikipedia’s flag protocol page is also weird. Argh.

      Western people read from top to bottom. And from left to right. Agreed?

      French flag has vertical stripes, in the colors blue, white and red.

      Dutch flag has HORIZONTAL stripes, in the colors red, white and then blue.
