University flags

[Tom Bress]

I like the country flags that show up under our avatars. How about adding university flags to the mix? Go Blue!

I think it is a good idea.

Would you fly the MSU flag when we beat you!

Go state!!

This could be the start of something! LAVA wagers, with the loser having to fly the flag of the winner. Here's a general question: do these flag icons exist already, or would we have to make them ourselves? If we have to make them, could someone post guidelines for the icons?

Ah, but light blue or dark blue ?

So it wouldn't get much use then...

Oh god, here we go...

If you want to add your school flag then send it in a PM to me. Make sure the size is 32px width by 20px height. Also make sure to state the full school name. Feel free to also post it here on this thread (to hash out the image specifics with your friends), but I probably won't see it for a while.

It figures that this would be suggested by a U of M allum. At least I assume that you're an allumni and not one of the majority of Wolverine fans that only supports them because we don't have a pro football team in the Detroit area.

Here's my quick rendition of the MSU flag.

I remember asking what football team I should follow here in Detroit, and I got a great reply: "The Tigers"

I don't expect too many other alumni to be here on LAVA, but here's my effort:

University of Technology, Sydney

[Aristos Queue]

University of Oklahoma, Norman, Ok, USA

[Francois Normandin]

Here's University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada

[Tom Bress]

Here's the University of Michigan flag.

The University of Cambridge one is almost entirely pointless at 32x20px (what do you expect of an institution that predates the printing press never mind computers )

So I screwed up. Apparently only Premium Members can send attachments via PMs (who came up with that one?*) so instead of PMing me the image just post it to this thread. Thanks.

I agree with Gavin, it's tough to squeeze the old shield down to size. What looks better?

A:

Brown University shield

or

B:

Any fellow Brunonians here?

[JDave]

Utah State University, or at least my attempt at it...
