I did this today, I was bored.

This is the first flag I ever do, so criticism would be nice

Fugg, forgot to explain it.

These are some fictional flags for the Second Mexican Empire.

They have the Cross of Burgundy, which was the flag of New Spain. The colours are the same as the ones from the original Mexican tricolour and the coat of arms is the same as the Second Empire's flag.

What program did you use?

It's by far the easiest to design flags in vector graphics editors, like inkscape. As a bonus, Wikipedia has most of its flags done in that same program, so you can just start working from those flags. A lot of coats of arms are converted to .svg as well.

Unfortunately 8chan still doesn't allow .svg uploads because it's possible to put some nasty html in them. I guess if you didn't allow them to show inline it would be fine, but oh well. Perhaps in infinity-next.

Visual appeal wise, I like the 3rd one the most for some reason. Perhaps just because the green Cross of Burgundy looks unique and it also works well with black and gold from the coat of arms. Granted, it's just a mashup of existing designs (pretty reasonable if you want to keep the symbolism) and not built from scratch, but it works well.

While we're at it, here's another Mexican Empire flag I found on deviantart. There's loads of flag/CoA/map autism there and some of it is pretty top notch.
