Fun With Flags

Share:

When the Mafia Wars icon changed yesterday, we assumed the festive colors represented Mexico [1]. Martin of Team Spockholm asked why he got an Italy flag instead. I found images of the 2 flags in question (Mexico on the left and Italy on the right) and Martin is correct, the icon does portray a much better representation of Italy than it does Mexico. Could this mean that Italy will soon return or that Zynga chose the wrong flag?

  2. Return of Italy??? Dont think so, more likely to be the wrong flag chosen, knowing Zynga ....cant blame them though, same tri-colors, who would have done a check with Wikipedia first? Now I know the differences not just in the coat-of-arms in the middle white,but darker shades of green and red for the Mexican flag, and in the proportions (aspect ratios)...thanks Zynga for getting me to look it up :)

  3. But if it was Italy, shouldn't it have an "I" in the center rather than the "M"?

  5. I think they imagine the "M" sits over the crest on the Mexican flag.

  7. I think it means that the icon is too small to add the eagle, and with the M on top of it, you wouldn't really see it very well anyway.

  9. It is good to return Italy since I did not fully master it yet........

    But this is Zynga, who knows what happen next....

  10. Very minor issue.

    I just wanna know WhenTF "London" will be erased on the home image -- and hopefully NOT replaced by "Mexico", but just "Mafia Wars" -- like any web site 101 class would teach you, to not complicate where you are! -- and, why the %^&( was that image no longer linked to / (home) to reload the page (cuz you know we NEED to do that, too often now!) is beyond me. Zynga's incompetence is the only thing that comes to mind.

  11. I always thought that a game called Mafia without Italy is a total nonsense ... So, if it will return it'll be a nice sign of "respect" to the real goffathers of mafia but, as we all know, that's more or less a total mistake from some very smart zyngaman ("incompetence" 100% agree)
