Flags!  
In follow-up to yesterday's post requesting input on a Motto et al for The Free City of Atlantis, I wanted to put up a post pulling the results together in one place.

Artist's Note: I am aware that the gate symbol for "Pegasus" is inverted on the colonial flags. That is a function of the fact that those who made the original flags were unfamiliar with Milky-Way glyphs and didn't realize the significance. When the final product was presented, it was decided to stick with the modified design instead of recommissioning a new set. It ended up being just another way that the expedition has consciously distanced itself from Earth and the affairs of the Milky Way Galaxy.

The Flags of Atlantis


If there are specific changes you would like, feel free to request them in the comments.


The Official State Flag
This is the flag that hangs in the Atlantis Conference Room.
It is also the version that graces the coffins of the fallen.


The Puddle-Jumper Flag
A simplified version of the formal flag.
This is the version painted onto all 'Lantean Spacecraft.
It is also used in place of a 'Country of Origin' patch on Earth-designed uniforms in allied ventures.


The Earth-Side Flag
The flag approved to fly in public locations on Earth.
It bears the Ancient letters for "Atlantis" and the city's motto in romanized Ancient:
Ex Adversum, Libertas
Out of Adversity, Freedom.
Thanks to [info]druidspell, [info]lyansidde, and [info]slybrarian for help on the motto



A Note On Atlantis Earth-Side Operations

Prior to the signing of the Treaty of Alliance on February 7, 2014, the 'Lanteans established a 'shell' corporation through which to conduct business on Earth without breaching classification. PegCorp, LLC handled 'Lantean patents (Non-military), supply acquisition, and immigration affairs out of two offices - A headquarters in Washington, DC and a secondary office in Colorado Springs, CO. Two more offices were eventually opened in Geneva, Suisse and Hong Kong, PRC.




And since they were requested, here are icon-sized versions of each of the flags.

Love them. Hey, in the official state flag, Atlantis is written in ancient, then something below it? (Man, am I nosey some days. lol)

Doesn't it say up there?

It's Ancient for "Atlantis" and below it is Ancient for "Free City of"

Wow, very pretty. I'm happily grabbing the latin earth side one. Neat idea all around the motto. I like the ones you came up with (and it was nice to see people collaborating on a cool idea) *g*

*Giggles* Glad you liked them!

Yeah, the help was much appreciated. The motto's being hand-waved as "Ancient" because the latin for what we wanted? Really unweildy.
maire_x: Lorne_Animated[info]maire_x on August 30th, 2006 02:53 am (UTC)
Well as previously established by the use of the word "crisi" my latin base . . . a little weak. SO consider your hand waving effective - possibly even jedi strength. *g*
Miriel: Cuneiform[info]miriel on August 30th, 2006 02:58 am (UTC)
*Snickers and waves hand* These are not the words you're looking for. They can go about their business; move along.

*Watches incorrect terminology go floating out the window*

After a very long day - that has made me giggle and laugh.

The mental image it paints - hilarious. I will just have to hang on to it for a while.

*vbg*
