Pegasus is a legendary creature from Greek mythology.
It looks like a white horse but has bird-like wings, and because it can fly freely through the sky, it is also known as a symbol of “freedom” and “immortality.” This time, let’s make a flag featuring a drawing of a Pegasus! Looking at the posted photo, a Pegasus is painted in white paint on a purple flag.
Accents of yellow and green are used to finish it beautifully.

phoenix
https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRR7tayAkf/The immortal bird, also known as the phoenix or the Firebird, is a creature from legends and mythology that symbolizes eternal life.
Because it is said to be reborn from flames when its life ends, it is also taken as a symbol of an indomitable spirit.
As a motif, it evokes an unyielding heart and the courage to face challenges, making it a perfect fit for a sports festival flag design.
Its flame-clad form also conveys feelings of heat and passion.
It’s a motif that expresses both splendor and strength.
dragon
https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnC-umFktJ/Dragons, creatures that appear in legends and mythology, have long symbolized power and fear, showing up throughout history in many contexts.
Why not incorporate such a dynamic, forceful dragon into a flag design? Since dragons are sometimes depicted as representations of raging rivers, focusing on a sinuous, undulating body and a head that seems to lunge forward could be key design points.
There’s also the phrase “toryumon” (the Dragon Gate), which tells of a carp climbing a waterfall to become a dragon, making the dragon a perfect motif for themes of challenge and growth.
Everyone’s portraits
https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhZBCNJ_fB/When it comes to flag designs that express a sense of unity among classmates at sports festivals or field days, nothing beats everyone’s portraits.
Prepare a large sheet of paper or fabric and draw portraits of the entire class.
In a sports event where teamwork is put to the test, a one-of-a-kind creation will strengthen your class’s solidarity.
It’s also a great idea to include portraits of teachers, or to display a class slogan you’ve agreed on.
This is a flag design that gives you the strength to push hard at crucial moments, like in tug-of-war or relay races.
Let’s energize the sports festival with a design that brings the class’s heart together as one!
Handprints of the entire class
https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVU8Htv–w/Sports days and athletic meets where everyone works together are full of laughter and tears, and they often remain in our memories as nostalgic moments even after we grow up.
A design that enhances those memories is a flag made with the handprints of the entire class.
Everyone takes turns adding their handprints to the flag, and then you simply write the class name in the center—one of the great things about this design is how easy it is to make.
If you prepare inks in various colors and make the handprints colorful, it will leave an even more unique impression.
And years later at a class reunion, looking at it together and saying things like, “Whose handprint was this again?” would be a nostalgic moment that naturally brings smiles to everyone’s faces.
