helmet designs
Japan's flag uses two colours, white and red, so there is plenty of contrast to work with. Below are three Japanese helmet designs built from them. Spin each one, try it on another helmet type, then open it in the editor and make it yours.

Tips
Using Japanese colours on a helmet
-
01
A single disc on the crown is one of the simplest flags to paint and one of the easiest to recognise from a distance. Leave the rest of the shell quiet.
-
02
White does the separating on Japan's flag. On a helmet, a thin white pinstripe between red and the base keeps the edge crisp, and a white base makes the other colours look brighter.
-
03
Keep the flag itself small and somewhere it stays flat, such as behind the ear or low on the back. Flags on the curve of the crown stretch, and a small, sharp flag reads better from a distance than a large, distorted one.
