Post subject: The logo is wrong | |
|
G'day just a heads up, the Collingwood logo should have the Australian flag on the left. It is law for any logo using the Australian flag to have it on the left.
From 1991 to 2003 we had it on the right hand side but we had to change it to comply with federal law.
Just look at it in the left hand top corner then look to the right hand top corner. Research it, whatever. It's wrong, trust me.
It's so unfortunate that I have seen many recent Collingwood tattoos with the flags wrong. It's been changed for almost a decade.
I don't mean to nit pick but I can't believe you haven't been told before and if you have I can't believe that you haven't changed it yet. |

I think it may be a copyright issue |

It's not actually a legal issue. It's just protocol (but, hilariously, probably only caught by the protocol rules if you treat the Collingwood Flag as a flag of another nation!).
There's a Commonwealth Flags Officer who watches out for these horrors: your taxes at work. |

I can't believe you care. Flag protocols — give me a break! Bill Hicks said all that's ever needed to be said on this issue:

Personally, I'm glad it's wrong. I'm all for desecrating the flag, clumsily or otherwise. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

I like this old version better. In the modern logo, the Collingwood flag looks like an extension of the Magpie's tail. |

Aussie soldier of 13 years and i have always preferred this version. I find nothing offensive about the way the flags are positioned in this older version in fact i prefer it. |

Care factor zero.
I don't understand how people get so heated up over where the flag sits relative to others. Yep there's a protocol, I had to find and download it once when we had a flag display in the foyer where I worked with the Australian, Aboriginal and Torres St Islander flags together and someone got bitter and twisted about the placement of the Australian flag because the Aboriginal flag was in the centre and therefore more prominent. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

The AUS flag looks so WRONG in the newer version. If you look at our logo, the flags have flag posts from the centre EST crest (how else would the flags stand upright and flutter?). The flag post should be at the left of the union Jack on our national flag (unless looking at the back of the flag). In the newer version, the flag post is basically on the right side. It looks so wrong and back-to-front. Oh, and while we're at it, any chance changing the black and white flag to freakin' VERTICAL stripes? We're not Geelong! Even Port have black and white vertical stripes on their logo. Why not us? WTF is with our thick horizontal bars? _________________ Est. 2002 |

The logos on the Bulletin Board pre-date the change and where made by Mike as was the rest of the BB, there is no reason to change them, it dates the site and the BB quite well IMO. _________________ Pain heals, Chicks dig scars, Glory..... lasts forever! |
