Instead of the Union Jack, I used the colours White, Blue (Pantone 280C), Red (Pantone 186C), to represent that New Zealand is part of the commonwealth. Since the original idea of the southern cross indicates the location of the country, and more importantly, the stars are the main elements in the current flag, which would help the foreigners to recognise the new flag easily. So the stars should be remained. The key elements on the new flag is the Silver Fern, which has a Koru on the top as well. This combination of the two main icons of New Zealand not only could represent the personality of New Zealanders and the culture of Maori, but also creates a unique impression for the people outside New Zealand.
