596698 2007-10-03 20:32:00 Well said Greg. I really don't like a lot of red in a flag like ours, and all of the designs I've seen so far look gay.

I still vote for the white on black silver fern. The prototype NZ used at the 2000 Sydney olympics was really good.

A cross between this (www.nzflag.com) and this (www.silverfernz.com) is what I'd like, if we do end up changing it., definitley without the "New Zealand" printed on it. Less is often more!

Maybe this (www.atlasgeo.net).

596699 2007-10-03 20:54:00 Given that the Fugby Union seems to own a copyright or patent on our silver fern on a black field, that design could lead to some unseemly legal battles! John H (8)
596700 2007-10-03 21:15:00 Yes it could, although I would think that NZ being so sport-orientated, that the ABs, Silver Ferns, etc etc would be proud to have a flag that represented them, and was similar.
Lol, all our sports teams could have the flag on their strips!

596701 2007-10-03 21:24:00 I suspect you are right. I am not sure even the greedy Fugby Union could go to court with a clear conscience if the country demanded the silver fern on a black field as the flag. Even though I think it was them that first adopted the symbol for NZ. John H (8)

I wonder if you're either dyslexic or your keyboard is malfunctioning?

596705 2007-10-04 07:07:00 I'm in no way a graphic designer, so I'm not gonna enter this one...
However, I feel that the LAST thing a national flag should have is any words/lettering.
