My players just finished The Wormwood Mutiny and they were so excited afterwards that they had a two hour brainstorming session to come up with a name for their ship, the Reckoning, complete with a flag!
I gotta say, that is one sweet pirate flag. More flags!

Rendered lovingly in pencil by myself are the personal jolly rogers that my four players pitched to me. They plan to one day captain a ship each, each flying their own flag, but allied with the others.
The jolly rogers are here. Clockwise from the upper-left they are of the Spellslinger, Witch, Oracle, and Druid.
The slinger's flag depicts a simplified version of her abundant hair, as well as her twin pistols. The witch's replaces crossbones with the north and west winds. The oracle's is pretty simplistic, with traditional crossbones and a skull showing off her dreads, and the druid's displays the symbol Castrovel, possible origin planet of the elves, and her birthplace.

They're all very One Piece-ish.

I have difficulty with skulls. The One Piece style of jolly roger helps me not make them look like total garbage. ^_^
(Also the players and I are all fans of One Piece.)

So some background: half of our group are huge "Sons of Anarchy" fans. So we decided early on that eventually we'd have different ships (gangs/clubs) operating out of different ports (chapters) and we'd call ourselves the "Ships of Anarchy."
I know... kinda cheesy but a fun idea. :)
So my very talented wife designed and drew the flag for our charter ship, Righteous Thunder
She based the design on the Sons of Anarchy "reaper" replacing the M-16/scythe for the lightning bolt (for the Righteous Thunder). The idea is that future ships that sign on will have their reaper holding a different object in the right hand while holding the crystal ball and anarchy "A" in the left hand.
With the flag of the Endless Hunger, I wanted to take a bit away from the usual "skull and crossbones" without altogether eliminating the inspiration. I also wanted to reflect what the name and culture of the ship was all about. The ship and its crew aren't just men on a hunk of glorified driftwood. They're ambitious, tenacious, and they take whatever they crave. So, drawing inspiration on this and his own scientific mind, my captain designed the following flag:
