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!

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

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?

Map of NZ coloured like NZ flag, with with kiwi sliced to reveal kiwifruit, fantail, and references to !newzealand and no.lastname.nz

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.
