Have you begun designing an island flag?

I haven?t. Although the other day I painstakingly hand drew my town map ideas on company time (don?t tell my boss!) I need to convert my idea to a map on the computer! Tomorrow I shall design a town flag, which will be pretty easy. It?s Dango.
I've been using the same flag for my town since the City Folk days. However, I was thinking of a different design for New Horizons because of the town name I have in mind.
I hope we get a flag pole as a crafted item. In New Leaf we had those boards, as well as the Town Hall flag which was the same as the one at the train station. I would like a tall flagpole like the one in City Folk or the Animal Island in the GCN version.

You just inspired me to do my own town flag in advance, so I came up with this.
I'm not a pixel artist so I had to copy it from another fish design I found online. The P is for my island's name, Ponyo.

No, I haven't started doing a town flag yet, but I'm thinking of going with the very first town flag design I did back when I first started playing New Leaf a long time ago. I can't post it because I don't have it anymore, but it was a flag of a really cool looking star I made. It had a sort of navy blue color in the background to match up with it.

Is there an app or website I can use to design my flag?

No. I think I need to come up with my island name first, and I'm struggling with that. I'll decide by the time the game comes out though.

either a peach bunny balloon or some kind of floral situation with my town name in the center!
I haven’t even decided on a name yet so I haven’t thought as far as designing a town flag. I’ll probably go with something simple like I’ve done in past towns where I just make some sort of geometric pattern and change it according to the town’s colour theme to match the flowers/seasons etc.
I came across a website the other day that allows you to upload an image, convert it into a New Leaf pattern and then generate a QR code for it. (I think you can create the pattern directly on the website as well)

So if you have photoshop (or some other painting program) you could create a 32x32 pixel image, then upload to this website, generate a qr code and then use the new app to bring your pattern into New Horizons.
As for myself, my flag for New Leaf was kinda....terrible. So I'm hoping to use the above website to create something better for New Horizons.

Well, my last town flag was a broom with grey and black dust swirling around it that was shaped like stars. Stardust. Get it? 
I've been practicing doodling different types of leaves. Specifically oak leaves. I like designing my flag myself and I'm not the greatest at pixel art. But, I make it work and I feel much more accomplished when I can have my own work for my flag.

Not yet. I'll wait until I have an idea of my island theme before doing the flag and tune. I'm not that creative when it comes to designing, so I'd rather not have to do it multiple times.

We can make a flag for our island? I haven't seen that anywhere...
Idk if the flag has been shown for New Horizons yet, but since we’ve had a town flag in every other AC game (except maybe the first one, can’t remember), it’s a safe assumption that it will be in this game as well.
