William Brand Posted April 5, 2006 Author Posted April 5, 2006 The PTC Ensign at Palm Springs...and look...Rob Lowe.
Durty Mick Moon Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Mister Red Wake, sir, I had the immense pleasure o seein your flag at the Escondido fair, it made all the other flags around seem like cheap props at a kiddie's costume party....Scarlet and I spoke to a jeweler about making sterling silver pendants using your design with the crossed swords and even the PTC below....the original mold for the pendants would cost a couple hundred dollars but then the pendants could be had each for only thirty or forty....we figured everyone on the Pub would want one...a collectors item for members and mates of the Pirates of Treasure Cove...more on this later as we work it out with the jeweler...they will look Wayyyyy cool....once we figure it all out we will post a new thread with the info...cheers

The Doctor Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I'm still in awe of William's magnificent ensign! I fly the Calico Jack every year near Halloween, but I'd gladly purchase and fly the PTC jack! :) Here's my own feeble effort of reworking my own ensign. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
LadyBarbossa Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I realised that I hadn't posted my Colours on here. Haven't gotten around to making them yet. I have the fabric, just haven't made it. Rather rudamentary and not as grand as Will's handiwork but here it be... Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

William Brand Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 Here's my own feeble effort of reworking my own ensign. I like that one. I'm a big fan of both heraldry and pirate flags.
oderlesseye Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I'm inspired by William Red Wakes flag to make my own colors soon.... http://www.myspace.com/oderlesseyehttp://www.facebook....esseye?ref=nameHangin at Execution dock awaits. May yer Life be a long and joyous adventure in gettin there!As he was about to face the gallows there, the pirate is said to have tossed a sheaf of papers into the crowd, taunting his audience with these final words: "My treasure to he who can understand."
Syera Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 The PTC Ensign at Palm Springs...and look...Rob Lowe.http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c327/Wil...gs/b1911741.jpg And either I'm highly imaginative this evening, or the lady standing to Lowe's right (our left) looks remarkably like O-Lan Jones when she was in Edward Scissorhands. I've designed myself a pirate flag - you can check 'er out in tiny, spritely pixilated art in my avatar. It all started out as a ball-point tattoo I put on my ankle one day.
LongTom Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Been noodlin' on a couple of designs. This one: or this one: (If anybody knows how to get a decent trace out of Illustrator, I'd be much obliged. The skull is a scan of a hand sketch. Bitmaps are okay, as far as they go, but to scale the thing up to full flag size it would be nice to convert it to vector.)
Sir Beachem Quick Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Top flag is my fighting Order of Malta Flag The second is my personal coat of arms Keep your eyes open mates you may see them one day when you least expect it. Sir Beachem Quick, Captain of the . . . . . . a small but dangerous crew.

Silkie McDonough Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Tom, I agree with William. Additionally, I suggest moving the Skull down a bit. Even though it is centered from top to bottom visually it is not. What about tilting the three cannons ...or fanning them ...or ...how about me just shutting my mouth.
LongTom Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Thank you, William and Silkie. I didn't want to post a bazillion variations, but I also was considering the second one, but with the skull in canton (upper left corner). Would make the overall design faintly reminiscent of ... something.... heheheheh. William, both your designs and your execution set the standard of excellence. Thank you for posting them. I'm looking forward to seeing yours, Silkie!

I'm looking forward to seeing yours, Silkie! I can tell you that it involves a seal. How far from "authentic" would it be if it also involved a Celtic knot and wsn't black? ...don't much about colors. ...or is that I know TOO much about color!

Google "rules of heraldry" and you'll probably find out more than you ever wanted to know about that sort of thing. Not that a pirate would be particularly interested in following rules....
Captain Bob Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 I use WebTV to access the internet, so I don't have any graphics capability at all. I will attempt to describe the flag I envision for Captain Bob: The flag itself is a rectangle with a height to length ratio of 1:2. The upper left quarter is black and the rest is red. Centered in the black quarter is a white hourglass, signifying that the time to peacefully surrender is limited. In the red field is a cutlass, a scythe (or sickle), and a skull. These last foreshadow the consequences should one fail to surrender peacefully in time. The cutlass represents violence, the scythe (or sickle) represents death, and the skull represents corruption. If anyone would like to illustrate the described flag, I would be grateful. Alas, I am a terrible seamstress and I will be unlikely to actually make the flag. *shrugs* Cap'n Bob
William Brand Posted July 3, 2006 Author Posted July 3, 2006 As a favor to Kidd Dread, I am posting his ensign.
Kidd Dread Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 my sincere thanks to William Red Wake for his assistance in getting my flag posted (see above). for those of you who do not know me... its simple... "HAVE SKILLS, WILL TRAVEL" ...not interested in being captain, quartermaster will do. too many captains and not enuf pyrates. again, i thank ye Sir William and i owe you a tankard of whatever ye be choosin' to drink! ...up close and personal means one of two things: You are either waking up with me in the morn or I am the last face you will ever see...</span>
William Brand Posted July 10, 2006 Author Posted July 10, 2006 After many internet and email issues, Capn William's flag is finally complete. The bravado of crossed cannons... I think it would make a nice avatar...

Captain Midnight Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 After many internet and email issues, Capn William's flag is finally complete. The bravado of crossed cannons... I think it would make a nice avatar... That is an awesome flag, mate! Captain William, you should be proud, and William Redwake, you are a master at making those flags. I tips me hat to ye! "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
Black Syren Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Aye Capn William that Flag is great..never seen one with crossed cannons afore. William you are really awesome with design, My hats off to ye as well. But I love the last one you posted...Indeed I think that may be my Fave of all... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
