The Union Jack

I decided to take what I had learned so far about the origins of the flag and what people currently think. It seems the happy medium would seem to be to keep the original silhouette yet removed the Scottish aspects and include Wales, which would help evolve the flag in to a whole new age.

The first design was just the flags merged together, with the colours of St David's flag added. The colours of Northern Ireland and England paired with the colours of St David's flag, have been criticized as similar to German, although this is fitting with the monarchy.

This first design clearly wouldn't work for me, as there is still too much over shadow by how prominent the St George's cross is.

This design was another twist on the idea of merging the flags of the Patron Saints of each country. No dragon is needed or the colours of the Welsh flag, as they are both typically English, the green and white to represent the 'House of Tudor' and the red dragon has unsure beginnings, but is said to represent Britons in battle. Historically their battle against Saxons, who were represented by a white dragon.

Instead, as from research, I used the flags of St David(Wales), St George(England) and St Patrick(Ireland) which I feel is the best way to approach this subject. The design is just a start and needs further development to achieve the best outcome.
