SILVER FERN FLAG INSPIRED BY NATURE

There's been a few questions lately about the appearance of the fern on the Silver Fern Flag.

​It was decided early in the design phase to stylise the silver fern on the flag, just as the Canadian flag has a stylised maple leaf, the reason for stylisation is so the fern-leaf on the flag looks right when it's aloft in the breeze.

We've also been asked why isn't the fern silver?

In flag design convention, there are 5 official colours and 2 official metals, design rules stipulate that a colour must be separated by a metal.

Silver is represented in white just as gold is represented in yellow, have a look at the graphic below;
