What do you think? - Complicated?

28/10/2014

"A flag must be easy for a child to draw, A Silver fern on our flag will be too complicated."

Complicated?

Flag change opposers sometimes use this excuse to dismiss the silver fern flag.

Try telling the people of Wales, Albania, Nepal, Brazil, Swaziland, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, French Polynesia, Portugal, Turkmenistan, Saudi Arabia, Saint-Pierre & Miquelon, Cambodia, Montenegro, Kiribati, Moldova, Andorra, Brunei, Bhutan, Belize, Sri Lanka, Kenya.... that their flag is too complicated.

Besides, with the advent of digital printing, flags are easier than ever to produce, imagine being a seamstress making the Welsh flag back in 1959, or imagine sewing up the Brazilian flag back in 1889!

Besides we don't think the silver fern flag is anywhere near as complicated as the national flags shown below.

"It's complicated" is quite a moot point.

I feel I should play devil's advocate here. This counter seems to be premised on the assumption that existing national flag designs are good. The fact that we are arguing against our existing one proves this is not true. The flags of Belize and Turkmenistan are simply too complex to be a successful brand for their respective countries.

Now I like Kyle's design and I think it isn't too complicated, but we should be striving to be the best design amongst nations and simpler is better. It just so happens that Kyle's design is simple enough.
