I am wanting to make nice Roundels just like in Axis and Allies Europe / Pacific 1940.
They would have the same thickness and colors as existing Roundels.
If there is enough Interest I can make a run of them and on the second run we can make others.

You need to specify which roundels for each country, as many nations changed their designs mid-war to avoid confusion with enemy types.
-
The stuff you’ve been putting on ebay looks pretty good as far as designs. By the way, thanks for the rockets. Just got them yesterday.
-
The roundels I make on eBay are on 3/4" Avery labels stuck to a AAA roundel.
I am going to make roundels just like you get in a Europe 1940 game.
They should be first class. -
I was just saying that as far as which roundel designs to use (which flags), the ones you already use would be great. But better quality is always appreciated!
-
What I’d find most useful is double-sided “Pro” markers.
That is, a Pro-Allied symbol on one side, and a Pro-Axis symbol on t’other.
This makes it easier to track loyalties using house rules (in which allegiance can be changed by things like diplomacy), and when using historical set-ups (in which many loyalties are different, e.g. Iran and Iraq).
Even with OOTB rules you might need these when there has been a “wipeout” in an attack on a neutral.

Here are my votes:
1A. Italy - Out of the Box
2. China Communist - I personally wont use a communist Chinese roundel.
3. Canada - OOB - The Canadian roundel you showed is not the OOB roundel. This is the OOB roundel.
4. Poland - Dont personally care for your version. The official roundel from WWII was actually a square. Here is an adaptation of the official WWII roundel adapted to a circle. (Ignore the green.)
5. Dutch = OOB - Works for me.
6B Finland - (Technically 6A is correct but I would avoid swastikas where possible.)
7a. Hungary - Works for me.
8a. Bulgaria - Works for me
9b. Romania - Works for me
10b. India - Union Jack - **(Most bang for your buck, even though its not India per say) **http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/97003ec7720a7c219f28d82e1e7570e92g.jpg
Just my opinions. Take them or leave them. Good luck with the project.

I appreciate your comments on the roundels.
Yes, I will go out of the box whenever possible.
I agree, I will not use the swastika.
Why do you like the Romania roundel over the other version?
Union jack for india is a good choice, I like it better than the post war roundel.
Great comments, thanks.
I do not like your choice of roundel for poland, but I am all about accuracy, thanks. -
I realize that the gold cross Romanian roundel is more correct being used from 1 May 1941 to 3 September 1944, but the Round version was used during WWII immediately before and after those dates so I think its not too big of a streach to use the round one. Plus it conforms to existing (though some might say apocryphal) A&A Miniatures.
Here’s what Poland’s official roundel for WWII looked like (and yes I agree its a bit bland):
Found this roundel used by China begining in 1949. I suggest you adapt the star design in a circle shaped roundel.
P.S. you might find this link a great resource:

I couldn’t find the OOB Brit roundel on that site
-
Could not find your stuff on eBay. Can you post a link to your store?
-
You need to do the Axis Italian fasces symbol
Canada maple is post war
Dutch roundel was an orange triangle from 1940
Hungarian cross should be a square
Chinese star should be yellow
Full roster of WWII roundels are featured on my WIP card designs:
