If you draw a line between the bottom of the south island, and the top of the north island - NZ is a triangle
If you look at our Mountain Ranges - they are made up of Triangles
If you look at our boat builders - the hulls look like triangles.
If you look at our national sport (Rugby) - a Rugby ball is pretty much 2 triangles stuck together.
If you look at NZ - the Letters N and Z are pretty much made up of 2 triangles apeice.
Now that I have had it's significance explained to me, I clearly see why this is the best design.
No no no, he's not a graphic designer, ideally Rii needs to tell you about the strength of the triangle and the modes of affluence the colours are contrived from.
Flag works because it is massively contemporary. It can't be linked to any previously established brand. The koru designs and fern designs where shit because every fucking Joe Fuck Face has some sort of koru pattern or fern in their NZ business logo, we're tired of seeing the same emblems being trotted out.
Also, I have no fucking clue about flag designing. It's an entirely different beast and has to please a nation, not a marketing board, despite what those fuck-holes at National think.
dunno looks pretty similar to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Vexillological_Association
also about wasting the 26mill, that is just the price of the referendum not the price of actually changing anything
