Design 3 is offensive. The use of the Rising Sun Flag (Kyokujitsu-ki) is inappropriate as it is the military flag of Japan and is associated with Japanese imperialism and military aggression in the first half of the 20th century (the Japanese military no longer conducts war operations overseas; it is a self-defense force under Article 9 of the Japanese national constitution). The only acceptable use of that flag today is maritime usage; it's not interchangeable with the national flag of Japan, the Hi no Maru. Militarism has no place at BAM or for the relief effort for a tragic natural disaster. Thanks.

I can never understand why so many non-Japanese people are so obsessed with slapping the kyokujitsu ki on anything remotely Japanese or Japan-related when it's not even popular/mainstream in Japan (only ultra right-wingers, Imperialists, and dudes stuck in WWII like that ish; some bosozoku might fly it for shock value although Imperial Chrysanthemum's are more common).
Ditto. #2 on black would be hawt.

^^ I believe that's where all the vendors are going. I will have to buy photoshop and illustrator and come up with at least one design next year. Good stuff OneManArmy! and personally I like the look of the sun.. I never knew what it meant but I like how it looks and I actually have it painted on my wall.
