    * NEW flag of Iraq

    Iraq's U.S.-appointed Governing Council unveiled a modified version of the new national flag Wednesday after protests that the original was similar to Israel's. A pale blue crescent and two lines on the bottom were given a darker shade of blue and some dimensions were changed, but it was not clear if the new version would satisfy protesters. A yellow strip divides the blue lines.

    Looks like someone had to make a quick design before the unveiling

    The old flag has a much better colour scheme. The new one's just too plain.

    I think having the moon there (represents ISLAM) is direspectful towards Iraqis of other religion even if they're a minority..

    Afterall I don't see predominantly christian countries having a cross on their flag.

    I don't like the new version. Old one was cooler. Better colours.

    Heck, just send one of the cheap logo makers over. You'd get probably about as much success, if not more.

    ...and am I the only one who finds it odd that people who don't live in the country...are creating its flag? That equation seems to be missing a variable or two.

    Well there is some method to why he chose certain colours but they're all too wishy washy . You need a nice dark blue and call it a gold colour and not yellow.

    I quickly did something in Paint. The rivers flow in a general South Easterly direction from what i know and they are the two angled blue bits in the corners with my poor impression of a crescent in the middle but you get the idea. Granted the dimensions need to be touched up but i think it is mroe acceptable than the proposed one.

    What do you lot think??

    hmm, either that or send them running for their sunglasses

    I've given it another go toning it down a little. This time with the yellow not only depicting the Kurdish part but also the western desert in Iraq and the green then being the marsh area.

    Taking into account the concerns over the Islamic symbol, how about the phrase "Iraq, one nation" in arabic on it in its place?

    Critic,

    Here's my second attempt, greatly improved i think. However do feel free to criticise the Critic, besides i did drop Art at the end of Year 9 at secondary school. >>

    Critic, I actually like your second idea, I can tell you are using Paint, I mean if you had photoshop you could be a regular flag designer!
