Customizing your city flag in Animal Crossing has a proven tradition. Animal Crossing: New Horizons makes it easier than ever to honor your favorite characters, countries, groups, movies, or people.
Creation of your own island flag
ACPatterns.com allows you to turn any image into a flag. Simply upload your file and set a few customization options. Then generate a QR code to use in your game or share it with your friends.
Most people agree that it's much easier to design an indicator on a PC than it is on a Switch, so ACPatterns also has a web designer that you can use to create your own pixel art.
Tips on the flag of the island
The best flags in town only use a few colors and have a pattern or something large for focus. Since your flag will be much smaller in the game than elsewhere, you need to make sure that it is not blurry or difficult to see. A simple pattern will work much better than an intricate paisley, for example. If you choose an image that is already recognizable enough, such as a country's flag, the fact that it is noticeably smaller will not prevent anyone from identifying it. You won't have room for the 50 stars on the American flag, but no one will be counting them anyway.
