East Coast Forum Flag - Nominations

[Javelin]

OK so in an effort to move things along.

Tillergirl has done some preliminary work on finding a manufacturer and getting an idea on cost.
Many thanks for that.
The upshot is around £10 for a handmade flag with loop and toggle.
The limiting factor is we can't have more three colours.
Plus manufacture is based on an order of 10

So given the above we need to,
a, identify our flag nominations.
b, have a poll to select the winning flag.
c, confirm orders.

In order to try progress I suggest we should impose a time limit for nominations of two weeks.
The poll to select the winning flag will run for a week from the 16/8/15 and close on the 23/8/15

Anyone can nominate / propose / create a flag.
Just reply to this thread.
If you have trouble posting a picture please PM me and I'll help.
We already have some examples on a previous thread (the F word) which obviously can be put forward.

Unleash your creative bent or in my case I'll ask my daughter

Thanks for reposting on this. I never got round to it because of a big family reunion that has taken all my time.

Just so people know, this design can be done:



Colours can of course can be altered.

But other designs are welcome - unfortunately the 'Nato' type star and reclining E has too many colours and is too complex to be cost effective as a sewn product. It could be printed but then costs will escalate and there would probably be a minimum order. So a degree of simplicity is necessary. The current price guide is from the guy who makes Cantata's East Coast Pilot pennants so we know the quality is good.

[Tomahawk]

Not the East Coast Forum?

Now, now NOW! Play nicely boys. The shortened coastline is of course available if desired.

I don't mind trying to draw someone's ideas if they can make them clear.

I assume it depicts the new incompetent Thames CG area

Excellent!

I like that one (quite a lot actually: it's simple, and is pretty clear).

However, why the need for 'not to be used for navigation'? It makes it look too busy (to my eye).

Or am I having a woosh moment?

I think the top one of the 2 is the best.

Or maybe the top of these 2

Blue lettering on the darker blue :encouragement:

 

[Marmalade]

Agree on not using the "not to be used for navigation" tag. Other than that am just grateful someone did the work to create one - happy with whatever colour combination is popular.
