File talk:Flag of the Soviet Union.svg

New version
Could someone apply my version (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union.svg) --Sebyugez ( talk ) 11:31, 7 June 2009 (UTC) ?

Colour of the Flag
The .svg source says "fill:#de0000", but IMO the background color for any Soviet flag legally described to be "красный" ("red") or "алый" ("scarlet"), which is the case of most soviet flags, should be inmistakenly medium/bright red, i.e., #FF0000.

Soviet flags legally described to be "тёмный красный" ("dark red") or any similar term, which are but a handful, should be inmistakenly darker, i.e., #CC0000.

 * Anyways Antonio, I fixed the flag now, but it might take some time to have the new image show. I used the bright red color, since according to "PSRS gerboni un karogi" (Riga, 1987, published by Avots), the red is "красный." User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 05:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hammer and Sickle on the flag
Some Russian sources has an accurate drawing of the hammer and sickle on the flag:

20px problem
For some obsure reason there is a problem with viewing this image on 20px. We discovered it through the template w:nl:Sjabloon:SUHH-VLAG but the same problem exists on the English wiki, look at w:en:User:FakirNL/sandbox. Any reason why this flag has this problem? - FakirNL ( talk ) 12:58, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a problem in the MediaWiki-software and not in this file specifically. - FakirNL ( talk ) 17:26, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
