I like the look of it as is, but since you're asking, I suspect shifting the shades of orange at the center might make it look better.

(Switch the bird's orange with the sun's orange and put that darker orange on the border of it instead of the lighter shade.)

I'm really liking trigel's flag. The colors blend so well and at the same time, the simplicity of the design really compliments the color combinations.

Theupwards slant. The poise and grace. The cyan field. The GLORIOUS GEAR SHAPED SUN!

My flag represents the continuous upwards trend of being the best nation in to ever exist! The gear represents the workforce, which has been heavily emphasized in the nation, and the sun part of it represents sovereignty and self-determination. The cyan background is calming, and represents welfare and a compassionate government. As you can see, there are two slants. The parent slant, and the baby slant. The family is also heavily emphasized in our culture, wherein nobody gets left behind!!

Behold, the glorious flag of the People's Soviet Republic of Davadatopia!

Described in article 111 of the Constitution as:
The flag of the PSRD shall be a red banner, with a diagonal white stripe with a wideness of one-fourth of the height of the flag, symbolizing the Milky Way. In the upper corner next to the staff shall be the golden crescent of a planet as seen from space, with a golden satellite orbiting it, that represent the progress of humanity and socialism far from their native Earth. The ratio of the width of the flag to its length shall be 1:2.

This flag is a symbol of Davadatopia's utopian fully automated society, where the government provides for all expecting nothing but loyalty in return. The promise of a new society where man is liberated from work. The forefront of humanity's scientific and cultural progress in deep space. The effort towards a new, revolutionary future...

OOC: Bit of an influx of overly complex flags in my opinion.

This is an amazing flag, yet I can not help but compare it to its obvious real-life inspiration (the flag of the Marshall Islands) which happens to be one of my favorite flags of all time.
