So apparently the only design input that went into the flag consideration panel was a single 4 hour meeting with a Nike product designer. Good piece in the Herald by a former Nat campaign directorIvor Biggun posted:Does anyone know what happened with this case? They will stand trial in April next year Ivor Biggun posted:Also, lol It's messed up that the National Party let Sabin stand while he was being investigated by police.

"We really like these ferns guys what do you reckon about a great big fern flag?" "...well...flags really should be quite abstract and easy to depict and visible from a distance, in fact if you just take a look at this-" "Yeahyeahyeah but the ferns are pretty sweet right?" x4 hours.

Vagabundo posted:Flag debate I just want to make it known that I challenged anyone to bet against me on this. We will end up with a fern flag. The offer still stands unless red peak is retroactively shoved in there, in which case that'll win because it satisfies both the 'JK bloke flag change good' camp and the 'lets not have a cereal box for a flag' camp.

Red Peak was excluded by the panel so that there could be the appearance of a grass roots campaign to include it. The John Key (pbuh) could graciously include it to satisfy the public and then it would be selected. That was the plan all along it is all a big conspiracy.

"Three months ago I was in Monaco, sunning myself on a yacht, thinking that this was the life," he said. quote:He admitted he'd never been to Harvard and his tales of sunning himself in Monaco and having money to invest were just attempts to bolster his "Newman" identity. let's get rid of John Key and make this guy the PM

I like that it has 3 equal triangles but I think the color arrangement in Red Peak is better. On windless days the top left corner becomes most visible on a limp flag. Black is more unique and identifying to NZ than red. Also, the red in the middle links the colors together better. Red meets black evokes Maori heritage. Red meets blue evokes the union jack. /flagtalk spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Sep 12, 2015 |
