Flag of the day

The Flag Consideration Panel is inviting people to upload designs for a new flag.

There are more than 4000 in the gallery already.

The three most preferred when I checked  Rate the Flag yesterday were:

Panekiretanga (#10279)

By Martyn Bennett

the blue represents the sky,
the white is the cloud and reflects the Maori name Aotearoa
green is for the land.

Manawa (The Peoples Choice) Blue Sky Version (#681)

 By OtisFrizzell

This is another version of my design. The Southern Cross on the blue background pays homage to the current flag, but the maori design element replaces the Union Jack.

Coru And Southern Cross (#2473)

By Otis Frizzell

simple. the southern cross is ” part of NZ” the coru is “part of NZ”

I’ve looked at the second and third several times and can’t spot any difference – what am I missing?

The top three when last I checked were:

Pikopiko Southern Cross (#7297)

Designed by: Geoffrey Joe

This is a re-bound of Grant Pascoe’s ‘Pikopiko’ (https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/gallery/design/5641) with the added sky blue and southern-cross.

2 Islands, 1 Nation (#11590)

 Designed by: Kevin Lynch

2 ISLANDS, 1 NATION is a design that brings together all the unifying aspects of our great country while still respecting the history of a previous flag. This design represents the 2 islands, The North Island (top Koru), the long white cloud (angled line) and the South Island (bottom Koru). The colours are a tribute to the previous flag but also represent sky (blue) and the land (red).

These three are most popular today:

Whakapehapeha (#3276)

By Paul.

Basis is bringing together traditions of Southern Cross and more recent Tino Rangatiratanga symbols (reversed to reflect long white cloud or sea, as well as a fern) – but adopting new colour (green) uses in neither to symbolise our land and new beginnings.

Coru And Southern Cross (#2473)

Designed by: Otis Frizzell

simple. the southern cross is ” part of NZ” the coru is “part of NZ.

Aotearoa Unity (#2160)

Designed by: Phillip Bannister

This design is a unification of all the cultures that make up Aotearoa, the colours of Tino Rangatiratanga and the strength and uniquely kiwi symbolism of the koru. The Southern Cross is retained from our current flag so this design represents the past as well as the future for our great nation.
