@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz @eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz and anyone else, what do you think of this? I've pulled together some of the things from last year plus added something new (I hope it's recognisable).

I have heard the canvas will be smaller this year, I think in response to all the leftover space last year. So I think we will need to be prepared to move things a bit. Maybe we start with the New Zealand flag, building into the others as we get to them but moving them a bit if others have taken the space? We can coordinate on matrix again.

I like the fantail, although I feel doing the same flag is kind of boring. Could we recreate something like this: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/new-zealand-flag-map-pixel-art-1092031517

Not to sound ungrateful or anything!

Great idea! More like this?

Yeah that's ok by me. The sliced kiwi placement doesn't look entirely right, but I can't see where else to put it. Keen to hear what others think

I have commented over here with the template to follow once it starts. Have slightly changed the angle of the kiwi and aligned it to the new colour palette they are using.

maybe push the !newzealand@lemmy.nz a little higher and rotate the kiwi fruit kiwi?

[–] Dave 1 points 5 months ago

I think the issue is the kiwifruit kiwi image seems to be supposed to be sitting down or something? If you rotate it to how a kiwi walks, it doesn't look right. Maybe it's climbing the side of the South Island?
