Thanks Waz, shame they didn't go ahead with it but can understand the cost vs care factor.

@ Karta

They killed the “refresh” and quite rightly put it in the too hard basket. It wasn’t really well thought through although the intent was sound enough (take out some of the annomies etc)

I still really love the way that they couldn't decide whether the lion's left knee was to be behind or in front of the banner. So it's sort of both.

Whatever happened to this?

We wish .....

A splash of orange will fix that...:lol:

:lol: :d :lol:

I think it was a fair assumption to make that it was going to look similer to the concept that was registered back in May.

It was just so bad that we all assumed it couldn't be the real thing ..... :oops:

We were all so young and naive back in May!

Right o :-s

Well, now that you mention it.

"The white, wavy lines in three of the six quarters of the flag may represent the river, which brought much commerce and prosperity to the city in the early days of British settlement. An alternative explanation is that the wavy lines represent white clouds, parting to allow the blue sky to be seen behind them.[1] The three caducei in these sections, rather than their popular but erroneous association with medicine, again represent commerce, referencing the role of Hermes in Greek mythology in his capacity as the protector of commerce and trade. The remaining three quarters depict two stafford knots and a star, with the stars representing the achievements in astronomy of Sir Thomas Brisbane, for whom the city is named,[2][3] and the knots representing the 38th Foot (Staffordshire Regiment), which Brisbane served in prior to being named governor of the colony of New South Wales.[4] The abundance of maritime symbols on the flag reflects Brisbane's early role as a river port."

Definitely a European bent.

Not surprising. You probably think the flag makes us look to 19th century European too. Better stick with the cartoon lion eh? :lol:

I have never seen that before :lol:

Kind of ironic considering how badly this state seems to want to fuck the health system

Someone brought up the Pretzel lol which is really a knot i think.

Tbh i only know about it because it was brought up in the flags etc in the kit thread.

Flag of Brisbane

Please explain

Sadly it's often much easier to do 'nothing' than to do 'something' even when it's very obvious that 'something' needs to be done:(

+1 All simple yet classy

Yeah but they might want to wait and surprise everyone :P

Thanks for all the comments and feedback everyone on my concepts.

I guess it is only a matter of time now till we see. What's the bet nothing will have be done and it will be the status-quo

Love them

Just think that a number of logos need to be refreshed... The logos put up by Volrath look great!

Fantastic mate! I'd vote for this in a heartbeat as the best way to move forward, without throwing away the last 10 years. Love it.

Go Brisbane!

Good stuff! Now if only the lion king movie & theatre franchises, Holden and Bisleri the makers of chinotto will hand over there IP to BR to use as their emblem ;)
