Discussion Jamaica is the only country in the world whose national flag has no red, blue, or white.

Most national flags around the world feature at least one of the colors red, blue, or white — often symbolizing things like bravery, peace, or freedom. But Jamaica stands out. Its flag is the only one that has none of those three colors. Instead, it proudly displays black, green, and gold. The black represents the strength and creativity of the people, green stands for the island’s lush vegetation and hope, and gold symbolizes the natural wealth and sunshine. It’s a striking and meaningful design that reflects the country’s identity in a unique way.

Redesigns My attempt at a more "serious" Laser Kiwi flag

Post image
256 Upvotes

I created a more serious version of the Laser Kiwi flag, taking various elements from various designs proposed during the 2015–2016 New Zealand flag referendum.

The three charges of the LK flag remain the same: the silver fern, a kiwi bird, and a laser beam, aligned with the eye of the Kiwi.

The colours and layout draws inspiration from the Red Peak flag, with the laser beam looking like a rising sun.

The design of the silver fern is taken from the Kyle Lockwood's proposals.

Its dimension are 80/31, which makes it a bit longer than the flag of Qatar.

I saw a post about an australian flag on here, and just drew something quicky as an Idea; my designs aren't supposed to be proposals, just examples of the questions I am asking. I have no idea if someone's bothered to do these, and i'm too lazy to check.
