Queensland New South Wales Heritage Flag

For 71 years from 1788 until 1859, the Australian state of Queensland was a part of New South Wales.  In honor of this historical fact, here is a post modern heritage flag that commemorates this relationship.  The design of the flag is based upon the fusion of the New South Wales flag with the modern badge of Queensland.  The upper red region denotes that Queensland is on the north eastern side of the continent.

Queensland is essentially Oregon's temporal twin born down under, or rather Oregon is Queensland's twisted time twin born up and over.  Reason being both states were created in 1859, and for the record Oregon is four months older.  The US's Oregon being an Aquarius while Queensland is a Gemini.

Victoria New South Wales Heritage Flag

For 63 years Victoria was a part of New South Wales, from 1788 until 1851.  Thus you can think of Victoria as being California's Southern Cousin down under.  The Victoria New South Wales Heritage flag is based upon the flag of New South Wales and Victoria.  The coloured yellow quadrant is a reminder that Victoria is on the southern eastern side of Australia. Victoria was the first state born after New Zealand was separated from New South Wales.

South Australia New South Wales Heritage Flag

If New South Wales is the Alpha Dog of Australia, then South Australia is the Gamma Dog.  South Australia is the third state to be born out of New South Wales the same year Arkansas became a state - that was 1836.  South Australia was around to remember when New Zealand was still an adjunct area of New South Wales.

The design of the flag is based on fusion of flag: New South Wales and South Australia.  

Northern Territory New South Wales Heritage Flag

For 75 years from 1788 until 1863 Australia's Northern Territory was a part of New South Wales.  In honor of the period, here is the Northern Territory New South Wales Heritage Flag.  The design is based upon a fusion of the Northern Territory flag with the flag of New South Wales.

New Zealand New South Wales Heritage Flag

The New Zealand New South Wales Heritage flag is a post modern creation that honors the history of Australia and New Zealand.  Although New Zealand and Australia are two completely different nations that have distinct cultures and accents, they were once united as one political entity for quite a while.  New Zealand was a part of New South Wales for 52 years from 1788 until 1840.  Thus in honor when New Zealand was attached to "Australia's Virginia", this flag commemorates their mutual heritage.  

The design is a fusion of the modern New South Wales flag and popular New Zealand Fern Flag.  The Lion has changed colours to white and the stars have been altered as double coloured Kiwi stars. 

ST. PADDY'S DAY PLUS FLAG

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2015! 

 Although many people compare the Irish flag with the Italian Flag, it's natural partner is the Ivory Coast Flag, which is the Irish flag upside down, or rather the Irish flag is the Ivory Coast flag upside down - depending on your point of view.  

Additionally India and Niger also use the orange, white, green patter like Ireland but have their stripes perpendicular.  So in honor of these nations that all come together under similar colours here is the multinational St. Patrick's Day Plus flag for people all over the world.  Note the symbols have been slightly modified.  The four leaved clover represents Ireland, the Crescent Tusk represents the Ivory Coast, the green loom wheel represent India, and the orange sun disc represents Niger.   

Republic of Trumania Flag from the Truman Show - 1998

A distinct and original vexilloid makes an appearance in The Truman Show 1998, starring Jim Carrey.  When Truman becomes aware that his life is not so ordinary, he acts in a silly fashion in front of his bathroom mirror.  He uses soap to writes on the mirror a flag pennant with a letter "T" upon it.  Truman then proclaims the planet for "Trumania of the Burbank Galaxy."

Trumania Flag, by Jim Carrey

Coincidentally in 1998, the Internet was in its infancy before social media, blogs, and youtubes.  "Reality television" was upon the verge of becoming a real media, which would later launch the careers of some fairly odd but ordinary people. But in the Truman Show, Truman was adopted from birth and is unaware that he is the star of the fictional Truman Show. Everyone else from his point of view is just an actor or actress.

The amazing and hard to do aspect of the Truman Show is that it conveys deep and comical messages simultaneously.  Jim Carrey walks that thin and delicate line between humour and thoughtful pondering.  The Truman Show was a one of kind film, that was made perfectly before the dawn of the 21st century, as a kind of pre-science of things to come. 

The Truman Show is perhaps the best utilization of a show within a show, that totally imbibes and carries the story, much like the theoretical moon of a moon - making this show a favorite of mature and philosophical thinkers and critics.
