Fun Samarium Flag - Element 62 Flag

Samara is based upon a name which just happens to be a place in Russia.  Consequently the fun Samarium flag is possible.  It is a slightly altered version of the flag for the City of Samara.  Instead of a deer, atom 62 and a its name is below.


Fun Silver Flag for Element 47 — Argent — aka Ag from Argentina

Element 47 is known as silver, but its symbol is Ag.  This based upon the Latin word for silver, which is where Argentina gets its name.  Thus the national flag is used for the fun flag for Silver, better known as Argent or Ag.

Instead the Sun of Splendor of Argentina's flag we have the Atom of Splendor.

Delaware River Flag and Tributary River Metric Flags


Delaware River Flag
Rivers are often linked to other rivers.  But the core river of any river system is the river that empties into the the ocean.  In this example, the Delaware River is used to model the different types of river flags.  The order of the colour in the diamond indicates how the tributary rivers are connected to the core-main river.  This order of colours follows the rainbow pattern.  If a river empties into the Delaware River then it gets an orange seal.  If a river empties into a secondary tributary river, then the seal is yellow.  This pattern follows the rainbow-metric order.  Every river that is connected to the Delaware River consequently has a Liberty Bell, as this is the key icon of the Delaware River.

To the left are several river flags that drain into the Delaware River.  They are all orange because orange is the second colour of the rainbow and they are second to their final destination of a body of salt water.  The stars on the left or right side indicate which bank of the Delaware River they reside, east bank or west bank.

The New Yornecticut Flag - The Connecticut-New York Heritage Flag

New York is known for putting on the squeeze on New Jersey to give up its northern feather of territory, likewise Big New York put the squeeze on Connecticut to give up its western claims and all of Long Island.  I mean like come on, Connecticut lost all the isles on Long Island Sound.  Nutmegers even established some colonies on Long Island.  New York got a big slice of the mainland and all of the isles in Nutmegger Bay.  But New York took it all, I guess it is the Empire State after all.

So no matter, the New Yornecticut Flag is a heritage flag that can be flown over the parts of New York that were nearly a part of Connecticut.  Instead of three grape vines there are three red apples.  Also the background is green and Connecticut's motto is translated into Dutch.  It reads, "De Goddelijke Kract Transplaneert Onderseunt."  Which means that God transplants and sustains.

So when you eat an big apple in the area, be sure to sprinkle it with just tiny bit of Nutmeg.



The Connectohio Flag: Connecticut-Ohio Territory Heritage Flag

For a few years Connecticut had a tenuous hold on the north eastern region of Ohio.  People who moved and lived there were in some fashion Nutmegers instead of Buckeyes.  Like most of the original 13 colonies many wanted to extend their claim to the west.  Connecticut held on to a part of Ohio for most of George Washington's second term from 1796 until 1800.

Consequently we have the post historical, geographic flag that honors this short time in history where Ohio was a part of Connecticut.  The flag is a little different, but based upon the flag of Connecticut.  The field is red.  Instead of three grapevines there are three Buckeye leaves, each with a Buckeye.  Also the motto has changed to, "The Holy Winds of Grace Transplant Us."  This is a translation into English of Connecticut's motto. 

So what this means is that People in Cleveland can root for the Huskies of Connecticut or rather Nutmegers can root for Cavs?  Maybe people in this area of Ohio can get a mid-way instate tuition rate, if they go to a public school in Connecticut, or vice verse for this region of Ohio?




The Connectsylvania Flag: The Pennsylvania-Connecticut Heritage Flag

For several years Pennsylvania and Connecticut bonked heads over ownership of northern Pennsylvania.  This lead to the Pennamite-Yankee Wars which flared from 1769 until 1784.  This issue was finally settled under President Washington in 1799.  Obviously, Pennsylvania won out and the settlers from Connecticut became Pennsylvanians.  

The heritage flag that can be flown over anywhere in Pennsylvania that was almost a part of Connecticut has a violet background.  The violet colour is in honor of the purple grapes of Connecticut.  Also, instead of grapevines, there are mushrooms because Pennsylvania is the Mushroom Capital of the USA.  Finally, the motto is written in Swedish in honor of the Swedish settlers who were first permanent Old World settlers of Pennsylvania, who like the Nutmegers from Connecticut, lost out on their political title, yet were allowed to stay and fuse with Pennsylvania.

We Are the City - Letter head from The Crow 1994

Letterhead is like an badge or organizational sigil.  In the movie The Crow 1994, the letterhead is a hand with a skyscrapers as fingers.  This movie was artfully done with taste and patience.  Little details like unique letter head art were created and every screen shot in the movie is like a painting.

It was a tragedy that the hero of the story, Brandon Lee, died in the process of making this film. This has given this movie surreal charm and sadness.  It is a fact that people loose their lives at work everyday.  It is always important to never by hasty or rushed in important matters as the consequences can be tragic.
