Flag

Same.
 
I like the koro because it is clean and therefore easily identifiable.
 
It doesn't really excite me but it will have instant recognition and I suspect that in a generation it might be a bit of a classic.
 
Still might stick with the status quo though (even though I have wanted to change the flag for 40 years) and hope another chance comes along before I shuffle off.

Fucking hell, this is turning into a shambles.

Now at least there is a bit more choice :good:
 
Red Peak is easily my first vote and Koro number 2.
 
Silver fern on black would have been my 2nd vote but not an issue as this will still be used for sporting events
I will not give a preference to any of the fern flags
 
and the vote

shame its not after Christmas. Say March some time so people can fly their favourite over summer

While we're at it. Is it too late to nominate a flag that pays homage to our heritage and contains an element we're all used to seeing? Like the Souther Cross..?

25% more, imagine if they added 4 more, then you'd have too much choice!

Its 3 fern options and two non fern options (so a doubling). Only one of which may have a chance of being selected

Not too sure where either of these two houses are situated.
 
If you put a gun to my head I'd prefer to live in the farm house.

Wrong, there are 4 different options, now 5...a couple are as similar to one another as RP to Peak Engineering...

No Quarter

I hate these fucking Red Peak campaigners - pretending they are campaigning for what is right! They are not, they are campaigning for what they think is the best flag design. They don't speak for all of NZ, not even fucking close, yet they've kicked and screamed so much that their stupid corporate logo is now being included in the vote.
 
They have built up a lot of bad will now with all their over the top bullshit - people I know are fucking sick of that flag - and will vote against it on principle IMO.

Where\ has this been done?

Virgil

It's just such a shit flag, it's been railroaded into the referendum because of a handful of key haters. At the start when 40 design were produced it barely registered as a popular option. A couple of polls had it near the bottom of preferred choices. 
It looks like a logo because it actually is a logo, it has s very flimsy reference to NZ 
And it's just shit, though to be fair all 5 pretty much are and most I feel will keep the status quo. ( due to 5 uninspiring choices and in one case a rip off from an engineering firm in the states)

Baron Silas Greenback

I would vote for the current flag over red peak. I think red peak is just fucking shit,look like a cheap tacky corporate logo

jegga

Awesome if that thing wins we will look like a nation of dyslexic roosters fans. 
I'm going to vote , probably for the stays quo . I don't want the leftards behind red peak engineering representing my country .

mariner4life

I strongly connect the current flag as a symbol of my country. The only other symbol i would take over it would be a silver fern. I IN NO WAY associate that red peak bullshit with NZ, there is nothing uniquely NZ about it, it looks shit, it fails on a number of levels. If it came to a straight vote between that and the current flag, i would take the current one every day of the week.

bang on.
 
and isn't the whole reason of a new flag to remove the link to the UK? this is all I can think of when I see it.

WillieTheWaiter

The only thing red peak does for me is make me understand peoples rage when looking at the other flags they don't like.
 
They're all a bit 'meh' for me - but i fcuking HATE that red peak one.
