Red Back, Red Cross with a, St. Patricks-type cross half black, half golden. 

This design is the most traditional of my series. Keeping the red St. George’s Cross as the centerpiece. The background blue of Scotland is removed and replaced with red which is featured in the St.Patrick’s Cross of Ireland, the St. George’s Cross of England and the red dragon of the Flag of Wales. The gold and black are taken from the Flag of St. David, also representative of Wales while referencing the layout of the old Union Jack and the St. Patrick’s Cross of Ireland. Together, the new, striking design is still somewhat recognizable as the Union Jack but emboldened with a new background color and a new, stronger union.

The St. George's Cross in black over the St. Patrick's Cross of Ireland with yellow lines from Wales' flag of St. David finally making it onto the flag. The Black cross sits above the rest to symbolize Englands importance while the Wales and Ireland crosses intertwine to show unity. A White background seperates the design from the old Union Jack and represents a fresh start for the UK.

A reveresed St. George's cross covering just over 50% of the flag. The Flag of St. David for Wales comprises the bottom while a reveresed out St. Patrick's cross pulls the two "halves" together. 

The St. George's Cross in tradtional color over a combination of the St. Patricks and St. David's flag colors and composition. The white background represents a new start for the UK and distances the new design from the old Union Jack.

The St. George's, St. David's and St. Patick's crosses reversed out of a darker grey. A Modernization of the symbols with a neutral color to represent the collective identity of the strongly united territories.

The St. George's, St. David's and St. Patick's crosses reversed out of a darker grey over red. A Modernization of the symbols with a neutral color to represent the collective identity of the strongly united territories. Red from the original St. George's cross becomes the new dominating color of the UK.

This design steps a bit farther away while still referencing some of the more traditional symbols of the Union Jack. The St. Patricks-type crosses remain, the background cross in red to reference the St. Patrick’s Flag, the yellow cross representing the St. David Flag of Wales. The St. George’s Cross of England has been removed and replaced with a single vertical bar, pulling the two shapes together and representing a stronger union rather than any single territory over the other. The white triangles reference islands venturing into the sea of red, representing all territories of the UK. This flag, while breaking from tradition and removing The St. George’s Cross, brings each territory to a more equal level and presents a simple, bold and unique flag for a new union that still keeps a taste of the traditional Union Jack.

This flag ventures the farthest from the traditional Union Jack in this collection. It references the various crosses from the Union Jack in a more abstract fashion and completely changes the colors from tradition. Referencing islands and reliance on the sea, blue has been chosen as the background color while the yellow and black of Wales and the White featured on both England's and Ireland's flags has been implemented. The stripes reference the number of past, present and future British Territories while the white represents Englands dominance over them.

This flag shows England in a reversed yellow St. George’s Cross in the center as the cornerstone of the UK with a combination flag representing Ireland and Wales in the background. The yellow St. George’s Cross represents England's importance while using the yellow of Wales to show unity. The placement of the yellow patch above the grey cross in the background references the islands of the UK as well as showcasing England as the preeminent power. However, it removes the traditional red to give Wales and Ireland a bit more of symbolic power in the flag.

This flag shows England in a reversed green St. George’s Cross in the center as the cornerstone of the UK with a combination flag representing Ireland and Wales in the background. The green St. George’s Cross represents England's importance while using the green of Wales Dragon flag to show unity. The placement of the green patch above the grey cross in the background references the islands of the UK as well as showcasing England as the preeminent power. However, it removes the traditional red to give Wales and Ireland a bit more of symbolic power in the flag.

This flag shows England in a reversed St. George’s Cross on bottom as the cornerstone of the UK with a combination flag representing Ireland and Wales on top. The split, leaving nearly 75% of the reversed St. George’s Cross, represents England’s importance to the union, while combining Ireland and Wales into a black and gold St. Patrick’s Cross. These two designs abut each other, the border giving each color an increased vibrancy while representing the physical proximity, physical border, and cultural boundaries of the territories. This design keeps many of the same symbols as the Union Jack but arranges them in a new way, completely changing the identity and relationship of the union.
