:It should be something like these: [[File:Perfect White UNSC logo.png|20px]] [[File:UNSC insignia (post-war).png|20px]] [[File:SLoftus-CIV-UEG.png|23px]] [[File:Covenant LogoHD.png|20px]] [[File:Swords of Sanghelios symbol.png|25px]]. But we should have a debate on whether we need them in the first place. Many factions don't have a banner so the template may look irregular at times.

::The fact that many factions don't have flags, banners or symbols is the biggest obstacle. What do you put for the Free Peoples of Meridian? Or Venezia, which has no visual depictions? These are separate entities to the UEG and UNSC. Or for a group like Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group? Just putting a generic Covenant symbol might be misleading for a reader, who sees it and assumes they were still part of 'Mdama's Covenant. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 08:26, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

:::Not to mention it takes up space in the infobox that we should be preserving. Personally, I think it is fine without the flags. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 10:08, 20 April 2016 (EDT)
