Everytime I ever hear Ottoman Empire, this is what I see in my head.

Hope you like.

The Ottoman army trails off in a curve? Maybe, but I think I'd rather see a straight line.

Perhaps light gray?

Something red would really pop out. Like on a communist propaganda poster. Composition's a little odd too. But I like the concept alot.

I second poofie's comment. Besides, red flags scream warfare.

I actually really like that idea of including the actual OE flag. I wish I had thought of that at the time.

no text? or yeah, some sort of logo, design, ottoman empire flag, but no text. tongue in cheek is best. blatant works less.

I hate puns, but I have to admit, this made me laugh at first sight.

I like it in greyscale, but I wonder what is causing the great dark shadow?

I think someone had a type saying Reupholster the Ottoman Empire. Don't know if that inspired this but both are funny. 4.

i like the concept, but it needs to be tweaked a bit... i like the ideas of adding something red as well as making the army curve off into the distance

I like it on green or whatever color it's on now.
Exigent
Exigent on Aug 28 '06
Thanks for the comments guys! And actually, the colors aren't exactly greyscale. They are an off-dark green... but now that you all mention it, it does look grey-scaled. Hmmm.

This is great-- I also think the flag should be the Ottoman Empire flag. You don't want to beat the joke any harder.

The idea of using the actual flag is very clever... maybe you can fix it to allow that. :)
