I like the last one best, but all of them look nice. I think it would look even better if you took the hammer and sickles from the second one and put them in the same places on the last one.
Why asymmetrical? It is perfectly symmetrical. But if everyone likes it better like that we’ll go with that. What do you think of the yellow lines between the blue and the red, should they be bigger?

Would the yellow pinstripes be visible at a distance? And do you drop them in smaller renderings (e.g. in a 16x16 icon)?
I feel like a pragmatic flag design would still be iconically recognisable and consistent in different contexts, but on the other hand: rule of cool.
You can’t see the lines very well when it’s downscaled, but the shape of the symbols as well as the order of the colors make it easy to recognize regardless.
I guess that if it were so small the lines could be exagerated in that particular case to be noticeable. I mean Lemmygrad’s logo couldn’t be properly interpreted at such low resolutions anyway I think.
I mean that there’s a star on the top but not the bottom. If one was on the bottom, it would also look weird and make the sides look empty, which is why I’d prefer no star. That’s just my opinion, obviously.
I think the lines are perfect. Too much yellow distracts from the other colors because it looks brighter.
As I mentioned in other comment, I just literally grabbed the Cuban flag colour with the colour picker tool and used it, I think it’s the same blue tone as in the North Korean flag. I am not a professional and have 0 idea of visual design or whatever it’s called, so there’s no particular meaning to everything, I just went with whatever because that’s how my brain thought it could produce something.
Here’s with the light blue from the Argentinian flag, I don’t think it looks very good:
And here’s with a slighter more light blue than the previous, which I think it looks better:

With, or without the star?
this one is wonderful with and without the star
I feel the star makes it a bit too asymmetrical for my liking, so I prefer it without. Otherwise, that looks perfect to me.
Same here

Okay, I’ll wait to see what other people say otherwise I guess we’ll go with this one, but without the star, lol.
It’s asymmetrical around the X axis. Solution: put a star on the bottom as well 👍
Technically it will always be asymmetrical from both axis since the Lemmy logo is something you can’t reflect symmetrically.
I don’t know if it looks too good, though.
damn, you’re right 😑
I think it would probably look better either without any stars, or to center the star(s) vertically within the blue region(s)
Why choose dark blue? What does that mean? Light blue is more compatible with red stars.

Yeah, that’s the kind of opinion I wanted, if anyone has another symbol you’d like to add that’s also an option.
