I think I'd like that one if the white was navy blue.

596690 2007-10-03 06:30:00 This (www.nzflag.com) site, set up by Rich Guy Lloyd Morrison (Infratil) has been running a campaign for a while.

The flag proposed there is IMO a nice piece of graphic design - but not a good flag. Flags should be distinctive, easily recognised, relatively simple, but not look like a logo. The line between logo and flag is completely subjective of course, but to me that design is just too trendy/'of it's time'. People will be able to point to it in 20yrs & say it's an early '00s design and be itching to tweak it. Can't find a link this minute, but an example is how the Shell Oil logo has been refined over time. You might think a shell is a pretty timeless emblem but every few decades it's adjusted to the lastest fashion - and that logo on the page has similar properties to me.

Best of that website is thsi one (www.nzflag.com) .

Not convinced about ferns & koru or greenery though. More tourist board waffle than flag design to me.

I prefer the black/white contrast, which I think would look better on a falg pole than a . png pic, but here ( . imageshack . us/img107/9632/image2372vi0 . png" target="_blank">img107 . imageshack . us) we go .

There are umpteen variations on the basic theme . Possibly the drunker I get the more I'll post .

596692 2007-10-03 08:23:00 Ok, this is quite stylized... [ new zealand flag (jerms.orcon.net.nz) ]
It's a start...

Black is part of out identity (All Blacks etc.. goes without saying) and so is the kiwi. Each shade symbolises the diversity and fusion of cultures in the country.

This one is absolutely fantastic. Captures NZ and is visually spectacular. Nice one:thumbs:

Too maori for me, or maybe the red reminds me of the mob I dunno, I like the moko in it though...

I really like that one. Bold, distinctive, understandable symbolism, quite clearly us and nothing like the Aussie flag. :thumbs:
