About VexilForge

What is VexilForge?

VexilForge is a modern, browser-based flag design tool that empowers creators to design custom flags, banners, and pride flags with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Built for worldbuilders, fantasy writers, game designers, and the LGBTQ+ community, VexilForge combines professional-grade design tools with an accessible, visually stunning interface that makes flag creation fun and fast.

Why VexilForge Exists

Flags are powerful symbols that tell stories, represent identities, and bring fictional worlds to life. We created VexilForge because existing flag design tools were either too complex for casual creators or too limited for serious designers.

VexilForge bridges that gap with a colorful, joyful interface packed with 250+ symbols (and growing!), professional export options, and a dedicated Pride Flag Studio - all running entirely in your browser with full privacy protection.

Vexillology Basics

Vexillology is the study of flags. Good flag design follows several key principles:

• Keep it simple: Use 2-3 colors and meaningful symbols
• Use meaningful symbolism: Elements should relate to what the flag represents
• Limit colors: 2-4 basic colors work best for recognition
• No lettering: Symbols are universal; text is not
• Be distinctive: Make your flag recognizable from a distance
