History of the regional flag

[Fujai]

Heya folks! I'm doing some research on the history of our regional flag and am hoping to do a little crowdsourcing to fill some gaps and see what old images folks have on their computers. If there are any mistakes in what I've gathered so far, please let me know! If you've also got any other versions of regional flags or TWPAF flags, I would love to collate them here for this effort.

If anyone's got stories about the flag as well I'd love to hear them! I have a few of my own re: the most recent two flags that I'll add later.

This is what I've got so far, with a very small amount of research:

Early 2003, courtesy of @New People, the flag of the Atlantic, sourced here

2004-2005ish, courtesy of @Dilber, possibly earliest known version of the traditional flag:

Late 2006-February 28, 2019, after Eli's first delegacy, courtesy of @Winnipeg, sourced here. Numerous slight variations were created over the years as old versions were deprecated and new ones were created. This is the earliest known version without the text from the one Dilber has:

March 1, 2019-February 18, 2020, Imperial China flag, note slightly off colors in the rays and field—that's the earliest one post-theme contest that I can find in the Cabinet Room on Discord. I fixed the second one up at a later date with the right ones, but I don't remember which was flown more often at the time, so I'm assuming it was the first:

 

February 17, 2020-present, Triangle Banner, The Flag That Has Always Been Our Flag, from me:

This was always my favorite icon/symbol of TWP from when Eli asked me to host the forums...can't remember the exact origin of it, but I've used it as the Favicon for the site since...well...then lol.

A bigger resolution of the Atlantic flag can be found in the Atlantic region: https://www.nationstates.net/region=atlantic - I'd also ask Cuatela/Raptor on their Discord Server for more details about if you want, they're one of (if not the only one) the remaining Atlantic members still in NS.

Look at what I just found...the better version of the Fav icon....I was wondering if I still had a copy of this somewhere.
