Ontario Flag needs replacing

[BurlOak]

May I add your suggestion to the gallery of proposed Ontario provincial flags here: http://vexillology.wikia.com/wiki/Ontario ?

Sure thing. you can clean up the images if you can.

I agree that a new flag may be needed, but I have no idea which is best. This must be how Canada felt 50 years ago.

I agree we definitely need a new flag. Personally I'd like to see the Trillium on it, and I guess if green and gold are Ontario's colours, it would make sense.

I whipped up some ideas. The way I see it, it should have the Trillium and Ontario's colours. Unfortunately Ontario's colours are pretty ugly. The trillium should probably be white, but I'm not really a fan of 3 coloured flags.

Nice - #2 for me. Green band, white background, gold trillium. Simple and tasteful.

Nice. A slight preference with #4 for me. But all are decent really.

Here's my take.

I made it hit a few points on the grid, in case it's not evident.

Nice! Definitely a non-traditional flag but I like that!

I like this rendering.

Is that a wind generator in the middle of the trillium? I think it should be some small gold stamens instead.

I hadn't thought about that, but I like it! hahaha. No, I actually based it on the trillium in the Foodland Ontario logo, which I've always liked.

Did Foodland Ontario change their logo recently? I found two different versions of it on Google.

It looks like they replaced the Participaction logo in the centre of the trillium with a wind turbine. How 21st century of them!

It sure looks similar to that of Thai Airways International's logo shapewise.

Here are flags that would not be appropriate for Ontario (though we can take some inspiration):
