Template:Fake insignia/doc
Use this template if you drew a symbol (flag, seals, logos) of any kind to assimilate design but without copyright violations. Images with this template are meant to be used either at a smaller size (stub templates) or in a non-reader space (userboxes) to avoid misleading readers. For a symbol to be displayed at a large size, such as in an infobox, you should always upload the correct flag under fair use.
