    Dont mean to break any rules but the Hela flag you have there is the old one. this appears to the new one

    Seems its gone through a few recent changes alright! I'll keep the dude's mush though becuase you rarely see flags with faces on them!

    It looks like we have a draw. Stand by for tie-break.

    Right here's the craic. It was 5-5 at the expiration time. However, with the news that I've been using an outdated flag coming to the fore, it's only fair IMO that the true and real flag goes through. So with that said.

    Wellington advances

    Enga

    Enga, neat and tidy, I like it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    Enga, but I like both of those :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative


    Enga, I like it. Its simple yet there's a bit of effort to it. It works as a whole thing, whereas the Madang is several different bits not necessarily rowing the same way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,231 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Madang - I don't really think the stars are needed but I still think its a bit better than the other one.

    Enga. Dont like the stars along the bottom of the other one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,168 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    madang for the symbology

    Enga, quite pleasing to the eye

    Simplicity wins out

    same please

    Enga Province -
    The background is divided into black (for the national flag) and green (for vegetation) triangles. At the centre is a yellow, black and white dendrobium engae orchid (the provincial flower).

    Madang
    Red, yellow and black stripes (representing the national flag) form the background. Six white stars represent the 6 districts. In black and white, Madang's memorial to the Coastwatchers of the Second World War is surrounded by coconut palm branches (for agriculture) and a slit drum (for tradition)..

    Madang stronger symbolism but Enga aesthetically pleasing so Enga for me please.

    Sorry but wasn't able to play till now. I have to be honest I loved the mad flag that didn't get through but agree with Omack's judgement on the bout.

    New Caledonia, not a fan of the brown on the other one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,272 ✭✭✭Barna77


    New Caledonia, even though the remained French
    It has a skewer


  • Posts: 19,174 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    New Caledonia

    If they changed the Brown the other one would win


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,949 ✭✭✭cee_jay


    New Caledonia - don't like the brown at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,791 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    manus flag meaning
    "The colour brown represents the inland people and the blue represents the island people. The Chauka is only found in the Manus province. It is not found in any other place in PNG. My second reason for selecting the chauka is that it heralds the coming of dawn and signals the going down of the sun." explanation of the symbolism by the flag designer.

    New Caledonia
    The blue symbolizes both the sky and more importantly the ocean surrounding New Caledonia. The red symbolizes the blood shed by the Kanaks in their struggle for independence, socialism, and unity. The green symbolizes the land itself and by extension the ancestors buried within it. The yellow disc is a representation of the sun and the symbol upon it consists of a flèche faitière, a kind of arrow that adorns the roofs of Kanak houses thrust through tutut shells



    I love both but New Caledonia is more striking for me and the symbolism is better.
