Can you flip the colours on the middle one?

This is a really nice work! Reminds me of those derivatives of CoAs, unofficial Flags of French Overseas Territories (only two not based on CoAs have any sort of an official status and only Reunion don't have one and use one of two proposed most of the time ^^;, as their CoA is a clusterfuck of Bourbonic/Republican/Napolenic heraldic tradition)

You should upload it on Wiki or somewhere, guess many people would wonder how something like this would looks like.

I'd say the left design (the term is Canadian pale; this means band proportions 1:2:1) is better. Generally, if you put a symbol (but not the coat of arms) in the middle of a tricolour, the middle band or stripe should generally be wider to accommodate it from an aesthetic viewpoint, but this isn't commonly done in practice.

too Confederate, still, pretty good design.

What this anon said >>87

ALso, what does the colours symbolize? Its important to give symbolism to the flags.

Silver fern on black background is already used by their sporting teams so its a sure winner as it instils some pride already.

Though I would love to see the moari revamp of the union jack be adopted. I think it would be extremely amusing.

>>340

What I really don't like about those flags is the abundance of curved lines.

Those generally don't work well on a flag. Why? A flag needs to be distinguishable when seen at a distance, even in no wind (so it's just hanging down). So you can't distinguish which way it is curved, since the flag itself doesn't fly straight.

A simple spiral might work though.

>only one includes the union flag and even then it's a moari adaptation of it

As a Brit this upsets me. I understand they want to distinguish themselves from Australia, but there are other ways of going about it.

Fuck you we don't speak French here.

>>367

It upsets me too, but that's mainly because I think they're probably better off in reservations Indian-style and contribute little to the country's actual culture or greatness besides what's forced on us.

If it weren't for government efforts, Maori would basically be a dead language. Certainly there's no reason for European children to learn it in schools. Cunts.

>>396

I think they REALLY want to use those company logo-tier squiggly lines. And except for the maori-style union jack, they look fucking awful.

>>397

I think its pretty sad how much New Zealand tries to appeal to Maoris and not retain their Anglo heritage, even the stylized union jack is an insult to that.

>>398

it's pretty funny how the description at the contest said it should be a representative design, and the design they want to pick is going to represent the minority.

>>404

How disappointing.

>Flag designs a national disgrace

>>404

I prefer the second (red, white, blue) flag design. The other options are kinda shit.

>>404

I really like the red/white/blue with southern cross. Good design. I've liked it since I saw it on the proposal page they ran.

>It's supposed to represent liberty, egality and fraternity.

Wrong, this is a urban legend. The french flag represents Paris (blue and red) protecting the monarchy (white).
