New Zealand is changing its flag and theres literally only 1 day left to submit a new flag for its fine country and then there will be a national referendum to decide on it! I had a look at some of the leading submissions and theyre mostly pretty poo poo and im sure if we put our noggins together we can come up with something better dont you think?

Here are some examples of flags they are currently considering...


Blue Sky Blue Sea - Phil Plunkett


Fire the Lazar! - James Gray


Gains - Logan Wu


Good Flag - James Ireland


Happy Kiwi - Davy Lee


Southern Kiwi - Aku A


Te Pepe - Dave Astil

Can you do better? Submit your entries to the NZ government official flag design website no later than July 16th https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/

Whatever they pick should have the kiwi design from their air force roundel.

quote:

History Never Repeats

Arguably, the two most important events in New Zealand history are the establishment of the nuclear-free New Zealand Zone and the release of the seminal film 'Once Were Warriors'. This design represents both of these important events. The colours are based on the universal symbol for nuclear warning. The image reminds us of Southside of Bombay's evocative song 'What's the time Mr Wolf', which has underlying politically charged symbolism in support of nuclear-free New Zealand. It also made it to number three in the New Zealand charts when it was re-released on the 'Once Were Warriors' soundtrack.

I took History in school so can confirm this is accurate

This way we get to claim Peter Jackson and Weta as our own. Plus a few more beaches and better snowfields can't hurt.

Is that what the picture is about?

I thought it was a pink penis and a purple penis touching.

edit: If you look through the submissions there are a ton of brony fist bumps. What's up with that?

with a flag like this they won't get their flag mistaken for some other, more relevant, country.

why do flags all look like poo poo anyway with like flat fields of colour and stripes or whatever?

This isn't the 1850s we don't have to sew the individual lightning bolts and love hearts on by hand or anything. Let's see some flags with some corporate design ethos.

My own submission is called 'Canes Vos Stulti' which is the Latin translation of 'Run You Fools' and replaces the oppressively colonial reminder of the Union Jack with something New Zealand is more recently celebrated for i.e. Peter Jackson's exceptional LOTR movie franchise.

The rest of the world doesn't know the difference anyway. I sure as hell don't. I think New Zealand is smaller and maybe has more sheep?
