Too much?
Has too many kiwis. What about a weta or a kowhai flower to give it more colour?
Also what's the doohickey between the kiwis
Thanks for the feedback, good call. How's this? Laser kiwi is a good starting point for an across-canvas laser beam so I'm keen to keep it. Oh and the doohickey is a little kayak that we've used as filler in previous years. Have removed for the moment.
There's some good variety now, flora, fauna, fgumboots. The only other suggestions I could have are lake Taupo, and maybe more spacing between the things. The fantail is excellent
Taupō is hard to add at this scale and with the colours we have available but I've tried to put it in now! When I took a map of NZ and scaled it to this size the whole Taupō lake was one pixel lol, but I've given it 3 here. I also removed the penguin and shifted things a little to try to add the space. Or should the penguin stay?
Keep the penguin, we're all Linux users here
Taupō looks good!
I can't think of anything else, you can always keep adding more and more details, snow caps, trees, lakes, etc, lake wanaka,
If the scale was larger you could add a hobbit door.. or a paeroa l&p etc.. but I don't think there's enough of us to go that hard out
How does this look then?
Yep I reckon. Looks good!
Sweet. This is a 1:1 version that can be used as a template.

I've added it into this mega template which is used by some for planning. Added at ~~200,200~~ 220,120 which is currently free. So long as we can get started straight away and get the outline done it should be ok to not bump into anyone not aware of the pre-planning template.
When does it start?
It runs from July 18th (4am UTC) to July 20th (also 4am UTC)
I think this means it starts 4pm on Saturday NZ time, 6 days from now.
Yeah my suggestion has the new logo in the background. I might have a go at converting the colours into the available canvas colours and see how it comes out.
I was thinking maybe something incorporating our new logo with some bits from previous years, like this (will need touching up to match the colours available in canvas).
Anyone got ideas to improve it?
Should move in parts. Aim for just the logo first id say
In the past, we've quickly finished the initial plan and so it seemed like a good idea to have a plan from the start. Otherwise we might not have the space for adding on.
I could drop it back to just the logo and community name to claim the space, then we could add to those parts after. But it also seemed more efficient to just make pixels the colour we want at the start instead of having to re-do them for new pieces over the top?
