596749 2007-11-01 03:06:00 I have selected a winner and sent a PM to this person.
If you haven't received a PM from me then you did not win. (Sorry about that).

When I receive the details I need I will pay the money over and post the result in this thread when I have done so. I will also explain the reasons why I selected the winning design. Naturally I could post the result now but knowing how devious some people are I could be flooded with bank numbers via PMs.:)

Thank you all for posts made. It was an interesting exercise. I had hoped that I would get more entries as time went by but, unfortunately, this did not happen.

596750 2007-11-01 05:14:00 Ok here are my dubious attempts (www.nigel.geek.nz), bear in mind that i only have paint installed on this machine, so they do look a bit well um yeah
That sheep one... pure gold :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's so awesome, the sheep escaping out of the pen (as shown with the broken fence), then forming up into the shape of the Southern Cross. Why they couldn't form up behind the fence I don't know. I guess it shows that NZers are rebels at heart.

596753 2007-11-02 03:37:00 OK folks.

Jermsie was our winner and is $100 better off as a result.

The design is unique and has no reference to our colonial past or Maorii past for that matter so therefore should not be devisive. The fern is well known all over the world as our sports people use this emblem rather a lot.

The shades of grey depict rather well the idea that we live in a multicultural society.

Last but not least it bears no resemblance to the Australian flag.

Congrats Jermsie and commiserations to the rest.

Black and grey are the colours of deprssion..

596757 2007-11-02 04:09:00 Thanks Cicero, but i could never have sullied my artistic sensibilties with the filthy lucre anyway (in other words damn i lost)



Black and grey are the colours of deprssion..

and as we all know

"There is no depression in New Zealand
There are no sheep on our farms
There is no depression in New Zealand
we can all keep perfectly calm,
Everybody’s talking about World War Three
everybody’s talking about World War Three
But we’re as safe as safe can be,
there’s no unrest in this country
We have no dole queues,
we have no drug addicts,
we have no racism,
we have no sexism, sexism, no, no"

Blam Blam Blam 1981


Protests are pointless, the leadership will only Sweep them under the carpet

Sorry I couldn't resist, congrats Jermsie and cheers Sweep for putting your money where your mouth is, unlike some who put their foot where their mouth is and get a visit from the Jen/Jan fairy

PS what is Jen short for, Jennifer, Jention violet, Jean, Jeanette and is it pronoucnced Jen or in the current Norsifecation of PC World should it be Pronounced Yen
