Workshop Australian Flag

[numchuks]

That's a bingo!

And top work, looks very nice. I think a version with the colours inverted would look brilliant too.

Edit: Maybe centralise the cross in the blue square, it looks a bit off to the side.

Looks great inverted too

 

[hitthepost]

Lets be honest, any flag trying to mix blue & white with green & yellow looks shocking.

Keep it simple. Southern Cross. Federation Star. Blue & White.

Done.

Looks great inverted too

It's like a clash flag!
The thing for me is, one of the things we can do when changing the flag, is use colours that are generally considered the colours of Australia - green and gold.
Green on the hoist side and gold on the fly side, white Federation Star and green Southern Cross? Blue and white aren't Aussie colours. Most countries (the ones who don't use a Union Jack ensign anymore at least) have their national colours on the flag (Japan/Canada red&white, America blue/red/white, Scotland blue&white...)

Yeah looks mint either way.

I reckon whatever nz changes to we should copy with a minor change to keep it slightly different...

Ultimate troll on an international scale.

I thought exactly this just the other day when the vote came up on the news.

I reckon a white kangaroo in the same basic shape of the fern with the Australian southern cross would make a great troll version.

NZ Flag looked good. Saw it here:

NZ Flag looked good. Saw it here:

Not quite, it was actually on "Dr Sheldon Cooper & Dr Amy Farrah Fowler present Dr Sheldon Cooper's Fun With Flags" (an easy mistake to make as the show has only just changed its name) though that episode of the show wasn't much fun or didn't have much to do with flags.

Then it was changed to Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler presents with, and then Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler presents Fun with

Does it matter?

 

[____]

Haven't done an Australian flag mock up (but I think numchuks flag with green and gold instead of blue and white would be an absolute goodin), but I have designed up a flag for each state and territory

Queensland


New South Wales


Australian Capital Territory


Victoria


Tasmania


South Australia


Western Australia


Northern Territory

WA could do with a better swan, just as a side note. That head has never looked right to me.

The eye looks very seedy

This one from 2000 is unreal

Western Australia

Could probably do without a border around the flag. Otherwise, I'm a fan of the others.

I was going to do an inverse without the border (yellow bg, black circle, yellow swan) but felt it would've been a bastardisation of the WA badge

Federation flag, with Union Jack removed and replaced with federation star.

Another simple and recognisable design.

If you're dropping the Union Jack, why would you keep dark blue? There's nothing Australian about dark blue. Should be green and gold.

Dark blue or as its known Obsidian is a big part of Australian culture.

The fact that the background of the Union Jack being dark blue is purely coincidental to the Aus flag being Blue. Though I'm not saying that it coulld've persuaded the design

If you look at the Fijian flag for example, the Union Jack is present, but the flag is sky blue.

How is it?

 

[rabbitoh21]

How is it?

Night sky, water, heraldic colours, on most flags since colonisation, alternate sporting colours...

Because green & gold together are ugly.

Should also say, I'd be quite happy to have this as a flag.

Canary yellow with a neutral green secondary looks mint

The Australian flag really can't be called dark blue. It is a royal blue - Pantone Blue 280, to be precise. Same as the Union Jack.

Obsidian blue is a different colour altogether and has no formal significance.

My favourite, designed circa 1990. Doesn't break any vexillological rules (such as yellow motif not allowed on green). We already use these symbols, this is about the simplest way to combine them. Flags need to be drawable in kindergarten.
