Danski had a thread on this once I think, but hey, it's not in the guild so lets discuss the design of a new flag.

Most people accept that, should we become a republic, the union jack should go. The question is, what kinda flag do we have? I have one one the landing page which I stole off the internet and slightly modified, and then Demon Kagerou modified slightly herself on Danski's thread to make it even better.

I also made this one:

What do you think of it?

I want a darker shade of green than that, mind. Also, I played around with the colours a bit, throwing a dark blue in the middle there and such. So far none of it looked awesome. The bits at the top and bottome would be a small pattern of some kind, maybe reminiscent of Iran, but something Aboriginal-Inspired, not Persia-Inspired.


Are there any flags you like? What are the essential must have colours? Must have symbols?

*ahem* I think that was someone else... wink

I like the layout of this new one you've made. The concept of having a pattern at the top and bottom of the flag is an interesting one.

Here's one I made just now (though I bet similar designs have been done a million times before):

Though I've generally held the view that red, white and blue is more vexillogically compatible than green and gold.

Oh, apologies. I thought it was her. Shows how good my memory is =P.

Yeah but everyone is red, white and blue. We should be different because we're awesome =P

I think at the moment my #1 choice would be the Eureka Flag. Apart from its aesthetic appeal, it has real history behind it, making it far more compelling a national symbol than something created in 2010. Plus the republican crowd couldn't be accused of hating traditionalism if it took up a flag half a century older than the present one. wink
