So over on the AlternateHistory.com map thread, there was someone who made a United Guiana map. I jokingly replied back for them to make a United Guinea map, and they did. That, in turn, inspired me to make this flag of a United Guinea. It was going to be a united Guinea-Guiana flag, but, small steps now, shall we?

The Five Colors represent the 5 coasts of Guinea, and is shaped after them.
Blue for Gambia
Red for the Pepper Coast
Gold for the Gold Coast
Black for the Slave Free Coast
Green for Benin.

Sorry, couldn't (and didn't really want to) fit Ivory Coast into this, despite it being the only country holding onto the Coast name

As well as this, the colors each also have an additional meaning.
Blue for the Gulf of Guinea and the Guinea Coast and the many rivers that run into it
Red for the blood shed over the year (much of it flowing into that dreaded Gulf)
Gold for hope in the future and the prosperity to come with it.
Black for the people
Green for the fertility of the land

edit: changed the file from a jpg to a png. I can't believe I actually saved something as a jpg, I feel so dirty...
