<p>National flags are not usually in your face type designs</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They are more subtle so we can create meaning as we see fit</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But the colors are spot on. Black and white essential with black in a key position by the flag pole</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And red in the power position with white between red , black and blue. It's a great design that ticks all the flag design boxes.</p>

Winger, I was slowly coming around on my own terms to the possibility that this is OK. The moment someone starts trying to convince me of it so it justifies their own opinion I back off again. <br>
This us where a campaign thing is all wrong. Just let a slow burn happen. -

Maybe there's an engineering firm in the general vicinity of the parade? -

<p>Those undies...what in the actual fuck. No on every level, especially for the unfortunately located red strip.</p>

<p>But without the campaign it would surely fail. And we will be left with our current flag</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like the campaign.</p>
<p>And I wish more people would take an interest in what's going on in the world or country rather than letting it all pass them by. This more than anything else causes so much grief. We are collectively mostly too naive and too lazy to take the time to investigate anything much.</p>

<p>Like AGW where many still believe. :bang_head1:</p> -

Maybe I didn't word it well. I realize the need for an awareness but don't want someone else telling me WHY I should like it. <br>
Put it out there but don't preach. -

<p> :think: Yes, you have, 90% of this thread has been you doing exactly that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't mind the red flag that much but we've already got a flag that is easily identifiable as 'NZ' yet it's not in the running, and as I said earlier I don't really care what happens from here because of its exclusion - but this thread has been funny viewing nonetheless. </p>
