How about a pix of a ferry too

From astern they never look too pretty

But, easy to follow :encouragement:

Navigation is a lot more challenging without Ferryways to keep me on track

Well, 48.1 gets my money.

How about a sunrise over the sea in the flag as we are the first to see it (if it's not too cloudy )

I vote for 29.1. Fairly simple and uncluttered.
(also as we have such a vast east coast I have always tended to call the part above the Wash the North East and East Anglia the East. Have lived in both parts and have no prejudice).

 

[Javelin]

so do we put up with the reverse ?

If printed on opaque material could not the ECF just be reversed, leaving the land in reverse? For balance like.

A while ago there was a photo on the forum of a buoy in the mud with the sign saying "danger deep water" or something. At the time some of us thought it would make a great burgee. So how about an iconic image rather than trying to beat letters which will look odd on one side? Personally I like the coastline by itself without any words or letters, it sort of says what it is.

 

[Javelin]

could do something like this which would work both ways...

I see we in a very active FYMBC still aren't included, although we have no 'Ya ya's!

Exactly what I was going to say. . . .


until I caught up with the whole thread. I like 29.1, like the 'not to be used for navigation', in two minds about the 'ECF', and quite like the idea of no lettering, too (which would simplify production, apart from the aesthetics).

Very good.

My version

No real problem with the reversal of lettering too :encouragement:

 

[Colvic Watson]

Why has the E fallen over?

 

[Habebty]

It's aground of course!!

Or it's an ad for ecstasy ( get your e's here )

Actually I like them both, a few more suggestions and we should give all the suggestions an id number for a poll?

I think the blue and the brown, horizontally split, works well together in #75, and is distinctive as few burgees use brown.

I think it would interesting to see a version with the coastline (might have to adjust the land colour), as per those in #27 or #29, but with the blue and brown horizontal split sea area, but I don't have the skill/kit to produce one.

p.s. Why are we worrying about the lettering being reversed, but not the coastline?

It was a visual joke. East. Mud. Aground.

Thanks Habety :encouragement:

I like it. Simple & distinctive :encouragement:

On second sight, might I suggest a minor change?
Could we have a compass rose that reminds me less of work?
Ta much

Knew it looked familiar.
