Fun Flag for Rhenium, Element 75

Coat of Arms Rhineland

The Fun Flag for Rhenium is based upon the colours and original German provincial coat of arms of the woman whom co-discovered this element, Ida Tacke.  Ida Tacke was born in Rhine Province whose coat of arms feature a white wavy bend on green, as is the winding river of the Rhine.  But for this fun flag, they serve as the background while the central shield colours are derived from modern Germany's flag.  The other scientists who co-discovered this element were from different parts of Germany.  Only Ida Tacke was born in a province named after the Rhine River, which is where this element gets its namesake, Rhenium - Element 75.

Not to be confused with element Rh, for Rhodium, which gets its name after the colour of a rose, assuming a red rose.

Fun Flag for Indium Element 49

The fun flag for Indium, Element 49, is based upon the old Colonial German Flag which was once a part of the East Indies, or rather the Spanish East Indies.  This flag reminds us that Germans were responsible for the discovery of this new material in our universe: Ferdinand Reich and Hieronymous Theodor Richter.  By luck, both of these men lived in what was to become East Germany, whence a small fraction of the East Indies were united with Germany. But these scientists lived long before WWII and WWI.  They lived in during the heart of the Imperial Age of Queen Victoria.
 

Official Flag of German New Guinea

 Although the basis of this flag comes from the flag of German New Guinea, part of the East Indies were a part of Germany when Mr. Richter was alive.

The Central Coat of arms pays homage to the flag of modern India, where this element, by serendipity gets its namesake.  Since this element was discovered by its indigo blue line spectrum, it was called Indium, and at the time much of the world's indigo was made in India, and coincidentally Germany bonded with East India shortly after the discovery of Indium.  But remember only Mr. Richter, who co-discovered Indium, was able to live to see Germany's frontiers expand into fringes of India, or rather Spanish East India, via the Caroline and Mariana Islands.

An atom with Indium's Z number is present on a green field.  49 indicates that Indium has 49 protons in its nucleus, which gives it its chemical properties.

Fun Gallium Flag - Element 31

A fun flag for Gallium is aligned by providence, as it was created on the first day of the Year of the Rooster 2017.   Element 31 is a very special element.  It is a metal but it is a metal that is sensitive to the human touch.  Most metals are indifferent to human contact, but Gallium liquidates when it is touched by human hands, kinda' making one feel like a superhero.   This property of human touch to transformation is due to a unique melting point that is just below the human body temperature, at 85.58° F.  It's just one of those cosmic coincidences or rather an amazing atomic alignment.  

Gallium is associated with the Gauls, where its namesake originates, thanks to Lecoq de Boisbaudran, who discovered it in 1875.  As the ancient French were one in one with Guals.  

Since the rooster has become an unofficial national emblem for France, we have a rooster in the center of the coat of arms on the fun flag for Gallium.  It is a French Rooster of blue, white, and red.  Also present is the atomic Z number for Gallium - 31 and a fleur-de-lis.  The background is an homage to the French fleur-de-lis as a Fleur-de-Atoms. The modern flag of France is also hidden in the tail feathers.

Fun Dubnium Flag - Element 105

Dubnium is an element named after Dubna, Russia in Moscow.  The fun flag for this element has a modified coat of arms based upon the official Coat of Arms for Dubna, Russia.  The background is a modified Moscow, Regional Flag.  Like the Moscovium Flag, St. George, has been changed into a scientist wearing a blue radiation  hazard suit, and the dragon has been transformed into a Dubnium atom.  The scientist in the hazard suit is supposed to be Yuri Oganesson.   Dubna is a city within Moscow Province, not Moscow City-Proper.

Fun Flag for Livermorium - Element 116

The fun flag for the Element Livermorium is based upon the seal of Livermore, California and the County Flag of Alameda by San Francisco Bay.  Livermore kinda' gives Liverpool a run for its money in fame.  But in this case, Livermore's scientific fame will surely outlast Liverpool's musical fame.  Long after all the fans who were alive for the Beatles, will the fame of Livermore continue to shine in every science room across the world.

County Flag of Alameda

The flag for Livermorium includes a modified background of Alameda's County flag, since Livermorium is within Alameda County.  Instead of five stars, there are five atoms along the fly.  Also a modified seal based upon the official seal of Livermore is in the center.  The name of the element is present in a yellow ring, Livermorium.  Instead of the date established, the atomic Z number and word "ELEMENT" are present.  Livermore is famous for once being Cowboy country, having great wine, and where new atoms, were created in our solar system.  Surely other advanced life forms outside of our planetary system have already created element 116 and gave it some other name.

Ytterbium Fun Flag for Element 70

A flag for Element 70, Ytterbium, is based upon a modified Swedish Flag with a Y pattern for Ytterby and a homage to the flag of Switzerland.  This is because the man who discovered Ytterbium was Swiss, Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac.

Fun Flag for Erbium, Element 68

A fun flag for Erbium, Element 68 based upon the flag of Sweden but with Y motif for Ytterby and the red and white pattern for the local municipality - Vaxholm.

The Vaxholm Coat of Arms consist of a counter colour charge of red and white, featuring a traditional sail ship and iconic castle silhouette.
