How about this: if no advocates of the original (non-tree) version of

Yes it does.   Can we do the same with my attempt at heraldic colors?
This'd be the one with the dark blue and orange sun.   I certainly don't
like it very much, and I don't think I've heard any support for it.   So if
anyone likes it, speak now, or forever hold your piece.

California time (Pacific Times Zone): I get up at noonish and go to sleep
around two, three or four in the morning.   School's starting soon, though,
so that'll all change...

One of my attempts was something like Uruguay's (which I looked at first),
but the rays go off the flag, which doesn't look very good (trust me).   
Besides,
I like Kiribati's flag better.   :)

Okay, here are my updated opinions:

(1) For my flags, I think the "colour variation" version has to go, and I 
still prefer
both of mine to Adrian's new variation.   [Note: We haven't discussed it yet, 
but
what if we changed the black color?   Another easy thing to do is just to 
make the
black strip shorter--very simple to do; just cut off some from the bottom of 
the
flag.]

(2) I'm very happy with the final version of Adrian's back-to-back tongues 
flag.

(3) Still not a fan of the minimalist flag.

(4) I prefer Christian's original flag.   It *might* be interesting to see 
the tongue
glyph in the middle, but I don't like any of the other changes that've been
proposed.

(5) Still think the mouth glyph looks odd in Barry's flag.

(6) I noticed someone agreed with me about the glyphs in Shanthanu's flag.

Okie doke.   In general, I'd like to say that people have put together some
really nice looking flags!   I don't think any of them would be a bad design 
to
end up with.
