Anyone designing a flag may want to take a look at this guide from the North American Vexillological Association.

Basic Tips
Simple design: avoid small details hard to distinguish from a distance
Colors: choose a few colors that contrast well
No text: looks cleaner
Unique: choose a design that is immediately recognizable

Totally unofficial, of course - we had several ideas presented this evening that were pretty cool. My idea of using the outline of our logo for the tails got a few positive nods. My idea was posted on CD-Media, and is my avatar until the team picks one for real.

What studios are you guys using to make your standard designs? I'm going to try gimp, just wondering if there was any particular software that worked great for anyone?

Adobe Illustrator.

I used paint.net, which is about the same level of utility as gimp. I have used gimp in the past for projects similar to this; the change is simply because I'm working at a windows box these days.

We used Inkscape since we wanted our design to be a vector graphic, but GIMP is a good alternative if you don't care about that.

I used Google's Google drawing part of Drive. It is pretty basic but it is good for a quick rough draft. GIMP is a good choice, but I'm still learning it.

I would recommend all teams buy themselves a creative cloud subscription. It's really worth it for these sorts of applications and with the student discount its pretty cheap.

Here's our team standard this year; we have different shapes for the front and back as part of our design. I'm happy with how ours turned out and how others are looking! They'll definitely be an exciting visual implement for the game this year.
