only a quick job but something like this?

This and the chevron design work pretty good. I would tidy up so the ends of the boomerang run off the edge and leave straight cut offs. Stylise it more so its representative of a boomerang but not exact. I'd put a deep red on the left, leave the yellow and put green where blue is. Stars colours can be played with either yellow or white

Has anyone thought of or posted my idea of changing the background to bottle green on the flag, replacing the Union Jack with the coat of arms and changed the star colours to gold?

 

[Groupie_]

Thoughts ?

 

[Craegus]

Thoughts ?

Though it really looks nothing like it the first thing that I thought was the flag of Nauru.

never seen it lol

Having a flag similar Nauru could only help the government fool the boat people into thinking they've actually reached Australia.

A very interesting watch, though based on American city flags, it does make some really good points that could certainly be considered if Australia ever does change flags.

this should be somewhere on the flag:

 

[Red Crow]

this should be somewhere on the flag:

Does anybody in Australia actually drink that shit though or is it just what Brits and Yanks think we drink?

 

[akkaps]

this should be somewhere on the flag:

There's an element from the can that is already on the flag, and will most probably remain on the flag for the foreseeable future.

If you want to associate the Southern Cross with being from the can, we have solved your problem.

After watching this it's obvious that most alternate designs for the Australian flag are terrible.

Too many colours, too many elements, too much symbolism being crammed in.

We need to think Japan, not Mozambique.

**** me that's so stereotypical. No one drinks it here like crow28 said. Heck even VB is more popular than Fosters.

was making a joke, like this:

 

[Freight Train]

was making a joke, like this:

See, now this actually should be our national flag.

 

[Red Crow]

See, now this actually should be our national flag.

And while we're at it we should change our currency to the Dollarydoo.

 

[Fizzler]

this should be somewhere on the flag:

Fosters isn't even sold down here. It's shipped over to other countries (such as the U.S.).

 

[Craegus]

Actually it is sold in Australia.

 

[Fizzler]

Actually it is sold in Australia.

Never even seen it.

 

[Bacon Warrior]

Never even seen it.

That's because you're not allowed in the bottle-o yet.

 

[Fizzler]

That's because you're not allowed to buy from the bottle-o yet.

Bingo. Growing up in SA I was basically raised in the pub across the road.

 

[Prison bar Pete]

still love this one from Mowse 's post.. so classy...

I think this one so far, particularly after watching;

A very interesting watch, though based on American city flags, it does make some really good points that could certainly be considered if Australia ever does change flags.

But there must be a way to have a kangaroo on the flag without it looking naff; it's as emblematic to us as the maple leaf is to Canada

It's all West End for you.

 

[Stromageddon]

West End. Gross.

Coopers is where it's at. Right, Dylan8?

Also we need a beer thread to discuss beer labels and the like
