Yes, I thought about that as well. But, like you said, I think the flag would look weaker without it. That's why I originally wanted to put a Crown similar to the one in the Flag of British Columbia(for those of you who don't know what it looks like, here's a link for you http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/flags/countrys/namerica/canada/bc.htm ). That Crown is simpler and more stylised, and it would make the FC Flag looks less like a Royal Standard. I think I'll probably make a new version with that Crown in the centre over the next day or so. I'm also open to any other suggestions for things to put in the centre of the flag.

How about alternating blue and red triangles on your flag? You will get four red ones and four blues ones. This can show the four red ones representing the four major realms (UK, Canada, Australia and NZ) and the four blue ones can represent Quebec and the island nations in the oceans. Blue and red can also represent the Scots and the English. Then, you have the red, white and blue of the Union Flag, also. You can put the generic crown from the British Columbia flag in the middle. It will look quite good. Just change every second triangle to red.

Author: Pat (Canada) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:22:24 01/31/05 Mon Andrew i like your flag design very much too. You should try Jim's idea (blue and red triangles) with the BC Crown and another still with Jim's idea but with the initial crown you put on the first design! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Ed Harris (London) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:38:51 01/31/05 Mon I sent an email to the bloke in Peshawur and he quoted me 11,000 Pakistani rupees, or about 100 quid. I'll get it made up when I am feeling sufficiently solvent, and certainly before the next Last Night of the Proms! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
