@lipis commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2014):

I think the problem was from the original project that all the flags were 4x3 or 1x1 ratio.. as this flag is not in 4x3 the original creator modified it a bit to make it fit.. yes it's wrong to modify the flags, but in the web sometimes we just want a small flag/icon to represent it.. as I can see in this one the colors are also different which should definitely updated.

Another idea to fix it maybe it would be to stretch the background to fit the 4x3.. WDYT?

I think stretching the background height so the original design fits a 4x3 ratio is a good idea. The flag's original design should be first priority, with some stretching if needed. Can you please update the Sri Lankan flag?

@chris-gunawardena, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think stretching the yellow background is better than stretching the elements on the flag.

Looks good to me. The colours represents different ethnicities and this is closest to the original colour ratios.

Thanks for all the input and great work put into fixing this guys!
