In the next update, I'll at least add the version with the Tower. The
others I will add if they are seconded by anyone. You seem to be
pretty much alone in believing that it's appropriate to have words on
a flag, and the problem with the plain star is that it's equally
applicable to *any* endeavour involving brilliant creativity, as it
has no language-specific content.

I believe that the voting method suggested by Paul is appropriate, and
if used, will result in a flag that we can agree on. For my part, I
promise that if that method is used, then I *will* accept the result. I
just hope we can agree on the fine details of how to conduct the vote.
When should voting begin? (not before at least a couple of days have
passed with no new suggestions) How many days should voting continue? (I
suggest a week) Who will count the vote, and declare it open and closed?

Adrian.
