I hate to hijack the comments with a response that doesn't address the OPs question at all, but I felt like that wasn't necessarily a fair comparison.
ASP.NET Webforms? Yes, huge mistake you'll regret
ASP.NET MVC? Fantastic choice, you will not regret it so long as you're a microsoft based shop
You can't make a blanket statement like that about ASP.NET, since it's effectively a bifurcated ecosystem at this point (and we're all hoping the WebForms fork dies a quick death).
That is what I was thinking. It seems like maybe just finding someone from a site like dribbble would be the thing to do. Invest in doing it right the first time.
You're right. It was a Friday evening, we got our blunts out, played some Afroman, and said "hey, we're going to stop doing exactly what we've been doing since 2006 and we're going to bluntly copied woopra.com". It's a shame we had to be exposed like this.
I downloaded it and looked at Estonia's flag. It's all wrong. I don't personally care, it looks close enough, but some people might take issue with this.
The ratio is 3:2, but the correct ratio is 11:7. The colors are wrong, both the gradients and flat versions. The correct RGB colors are well defined. [1]
It's a set of flag icons for the web, it's not to hang off the government building.
If we did exact aspect ratios for every flag they would all be different and look shit. We tried to be as exact as possible with colors and shapes, if they don't work for you guys or are not close enough then you don't need to use them.
Not aimed directly at you, just at anyone who doesn't find them precise enough.
If you check out the flat flags the colors are exact, obviously the styled ones have subtle shadowing etc, and are probably out by a very small margin.
I checked out Estonia from above and the colour doesn't match the examples on Wikipedia. I've also checked out the Australian flag, and it's eyeball-different - the blue in the real flag is closer to navy blue. The blue should be #002B7F, but a colour picker tells me that the 64x64 flat flag has a blue of #003399.
It's not a big problem in my opinion - no-one should be overly hung up about minor anomalies like that for web icons - but it's not true to say the colours are exact.
You're completely missing my point. I'm recommending against using flags at all, correct or otherwise. It's just too much of a sensitive issue for many users.
And to your point about correctness: there are specific issues such as illegible text in the Saudi flag and general issues such as the use or gradients or borders throughout.
People like you are the reason that everyone on the web is a boring old asshat. The point? Some people don't know how to use JavaScript properly, and just use jQuery for hiding elements, which ain't great.
a donkey featured as the main animal. Well, I went to pet it and it head butted me, breaking my nose. However, it gave me the uncanny ability to accidentally hit submit too early.
