I appreciate the effort.. could you also include the links in the description to the currently used flags?! It will be much easier to search later and refer to them.

Having said that.. these flags have to be adjust to 4x3 and 1x1 ratios so it's not that easy :/

Sure. I try to also help in some of these issues and contribute to the repo :)
I bit off:
Why is the 1:1 ratio? As I saw, the official flag designs using 2:1 (which would look ugly on website), but 1:1 distort the flags very badly. 4:3 seams a bit easier to achieve.

Yeah, sure. I saw it :) No offense, just was curious about implication of 1:1.

and the main problem is that the guy who created the original flags has shut down his project.. :( and I'm the master of SVGs :)
