In my case, I work for a design studio that often creates branded flags (along with awnings, signage, stickers, etc) for restaurants and other storefronts. This is going to be great for our designers to test out what their flags will look like under semi-realistic wind conditions!
- harrisjt 9y agoWhat types of patterns don't work on realistic flags?
- cmg 9y agoStuff that's heavily reliant on text, mostly. So we'll try to use logo marks that are identifiable as the brand instead of using the full place's name.
- zeveb 9y agoSounds like adapting rules for mediæval heraldry might be useful for y'all. Shields & livery, after all, were meant to be clearly visible from a distance, in poor conditions, while the viewers were in psychological distress. Likewise, flags which use bold swathes of colour & logos are more likely to be recognisable than wordy texts.
- ggg9990 9y agoAlso some words are confusing when flapping around and some are not, depending on how many other words can be formed with the letters that are not visible. Perhaps some algorithm could be made to ascertain the flagworthiness of a string.
- DonHopkins 9y agoCool! Do you also design wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men? I'd love to see what kind of a virtual wind tunnel stress testing tool somebody could come up with for those! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3-JNf-5Yqw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3-JNf-5Yqw
