| 596681 | 2007-10-02 09:37:00 | ...one hell of a ****ty design, as someone will try to design a flag that trys to encompass all of NZ's heritage, cultures and people and will end up looking like something the dog threw up. The flag needs to represent NZ, not every single ethnicity that happens to live in this country. Agreed and well put. If you are going to change the flag, we don't need all of the above crap on it. |

| 596683 | 2007-10-02 11:01:00 | And that's why your offering a $100. This is funny, changing the flag is a hugely controversal and subjective. I will 100% gaurentee that something you choose will end up being one hell of a ****ty design, as someone will try to design a flag that trys to encompass all of NZ's heritage, cultures and people and will end up looking like something the dog threw up. The flag needs to represent NZ, not every single ethnicity that happens to live in this country. It sounds harsh and pig headed i know, but that's how i see it. I do not think you get the point. I do not want a mish mash at all. If this is how you see it then feel free to disagree. Nice to know you have hacked my head. Must put a firewall in there some day. I picked a flag at random from zqwerty link. This happend to be Rawanda. worldatlas.com I would prefer something simple like that only different. Note the explanation in the link I gave as to what represents what regarding colours and symbols. Now you and I may feel that the Rawanda flag does not represent New Zealand which, of course, it is not supposed to. Now I agree it is a subjective issue as you say. I certainly did not mention ethnicity in any shape or form. A New Zealander is anyone born in New Zealand or becomes a citizen. This, to me, includes any person whom obeys the laws of NZ as a whole and generally conforms to reasonable activity. I do not care about skin colour, Intel vs AMD and ad nuseam. I suggest you either refrain from posting in this thread or go try for $100. Please also note that I am NOT in favour of changing our current New Zealand flag. |

| 596684 | 2007-10-02 21:32:00 | My first attempt. I'm in the keep it simple camp. Southern cross because it's where we are and I like it, black and white because they're NZs international colours. img223.imageshack.us edit: first 1/3 is plain white, doesn't show up in that pic but I can't be assed changing it at the mo. |

| 596685 | 2007-10-03 01:08:00 | Pity you can't edit more than once on this board. Anyways clearer version (img228.imageshack.us) | mmmork (6822) | ||
| 596686 | 2007-10-03 02:13:00 | BTW Rob. I am not for changing our current flag. But if people want to then I would like to see what they come up with and why. That is why I will pay the money. Thats cool, was just out of the blue. Bucks always a good incentive to get people to put thought into it.:) |
