Turkish Emblems Mod
Turkish Emblems Mod
My first mod on Stellaris, featuring a number of custom flag emblems based on symbols associated with Turkey, Turkish politics, Turkish/Islamist nationalism etc. The emblems are available in gold, silver, onyx and ruby versions. This mod is only intended to provide additional custom content to Stellaris, and does in no way aim to promote any related political ideology or organization. More emblems might follow.
The emblems featured are as follows (from left to right):
– Presidential Seal of Turkey: symbolizes the “16 Great Turkic Empires”, a contentious historical theory on the origins of Turkish statecraft.
– AKP logo: used by the Justice and Development Party, in power since 2002.
– Alperen Hearths logo: used by the islamist and ultranationalist organization with the same name.
– BBP logo: used by the Great Union Party, a fringe islamist and ultranationalist party which runs the Alperen Hearths.
– BTP logo: used by the Independent Turkey Party, a micro-entity I’m not even sure it exists anymore.
– Bucephalus: the two-headed eagle, a symbol allegedly from the Seljukid empire (Turkish Police seal version)
– Bucephalus 2: a higher-detailed version, probably from a municipality’s logo.
– “Stylish” Bucephalus: found it online because it looks cool.
– Communist Turkey logo: taken from a fictional flag on an alternate history forum.
– Horse: taken from the Democrat Party’s logo.
– Fazilet Party logo: taken from an islamist party banned in the early 2000s. Doesn’t the heart look cute?
– Idealistic Hearths logo: used by the panturkist and ultranationalist organization better known as the Grey Wolves.
– HDP logo: used by the federalist and pro-minorities Peoples’ Democratic Party, the third major political party of Turkey.
– Istanbul United: a fan-made merge of the logos of Istanbul’s major football teams, especially popular during the 2013 protests.
– Kayi tamga: “seal” for the Kayi tribe, an Oghuz Turkic tribe claimed to be the Ottomans’ ancestors.
– Six Arrows of Kemalism: logo of the ideology set up by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Turkey. Used by the Republican People’s Party today.
– Kocsabanci: a merger between the logos of Koç and Sabanci Holding, the biggest corporate holdings of Turkey. Good for plutocratic playthroughs.
– Dolphin: logo used by the fringe Liberal Democratic Party.
– Parliament logo: used by the Turkish Parliament.
– Seljuk Star: detail taken from the seal of the National Police.
– Ministry of Health logo: again, rule of cool.
– Star and crescent: taken directly from the Flag of Turkey.
– TCDD logo: used by the National State Railroads service.
– Terakkiperver logo: used by the Progressive Republic Party, one of the first opposition parties of Turkey.
– Three Crescents: logo for the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), also used as a flag for the caliphate back in the 19th century.
– Three overlapping crescents and stars: allegedly the symbol for the Ottoman Empire’s Special Organization intelligence service/auxiliary militia.
– Hammer-and-Cog: logo for the contemporary Communist Party of Turkey, or at least one of its incarnations.
– Traffic Monster: an infographic used in Turkey against reckless driving.
– Tubitak logo: used by Turkey’s national research agency.
– Turkish airlines logo: an older logo, which looks cooler.
– Peace-and-star-and-crescent: a random logo I found on clker, might be good for a peaceful playthrough.
– Upwards S&C: the star and crescent, but upwards because why not.
– Vatan Party logo: used by an ex-Maoist now full-kemalist fringe political movement.
– Green Party logo: used by the Greens & Left Future party, even fringier than the previous one.
