Put a symbolic silhoutte that denotes "Itani" (how about one of the pictograms? Isn't there one for Itani? Or something out of the backstory, or just a Valk) and you're in buisiness.
I don't think it's half bad.

Leber: I'm trying to come up with a flag for the Itani nation - something that represents the national character.
Unfortunately, every Itani I've talked to has said that they have no national character to represent. I'm Serco, and am not in any position to contradict that, nor to understand the culture as a true Itani would.
Thus, I'd like to get an idea of how Itani see themselves. If you want to, give me three or four adjectives that describe the nation.
These should be positive adjectives, as we're building a symbol for the nation as it would like to be seen.
For example, the way I describe the Serco:
Proud
Competitive
Expansionist
The UIT:
Divided/United (paradoxical?)
Influential
Modern
And the Itani:
Wise
Peaceful
Calm
When I get home, I'll look up the GTS for Itani and put it in there somewhere.

"Is it really a hijacking if I'm doing it to my own thread?"
Of course it is... look at the title then, look at the content.
I think you'll get more responses to your questions for the flag if you start a new, appropriately titled thread in Role Playing.
=P
[edit] I think a plucked fowl in the center would really make that flag great! (/joke)[/edit]

OK ctishman, then how about posting all three flags at once, so we can see them in relation to each other?
I would say that the Itani national character would be: zen-like stoic discipline combined with innovative technological ability. Any "logo" should be simple at first sight, yet complex when you study it further. Maybe something utilizing a fractal pattern or something that uses negative space like the arrow in the FedEx logo or the "11" in the Big Ten College Football conference logo.
It should be mainly blue without any yellow/gold or red anywhere in it. I'm thinking flowing designs would work well, nothing sharp or aggressive. However it should be strong and stable, so the logo should have "weight". For some reason I would tend toward circular or spherical designs, but I have no basis for that except that it "feels" right.

Neither Itani nor Serco have a specific pictogram associated... the UIT were originally denoted with the pictograms "neutral" and "nation".
