From what I have read, the current Cyprus Flag was designed in just a few minutes by a TC art teacher. I think that the concept behind it is right and powerful, but I have my doubts on whether the TC leadership will want to keep it in the event of a solution.

The flag that was proposed along with the Annan plan was horrible btw. It reminded me of some remote African state In any case, what is important is the nature of the solution and not the flag.

As far as a federal flag option, I thought that option 3 sufficed.

Actually, an interesting option would be to keep the RoC flag as the Federal Flag - since it is so neutral in style and promotes the theme of unity - and then each constituent state can have its own flag as well. This has a precedent in other Federal systems, eg the US, where there is a national flag but also state flags as well.

Keeping the RoC flag would make the proposal more attractive to GCs, however I am not sure how TCs would feel about it. If perhaps it was pointed out to them that it was designed by a TC, then maybe they could gradually warm to the idea ...

I'm fine with the Cyprus flag and I voted for it. It is the Greek flag which is an issue for me.

[boulio]

is the greek one the one the roc is currently using or the actual greek one.

i think some kind of modification is necessary for a new federal flag.

how about the "ROC" flag with blue and red stripes (one on each side)

ex: imagine french flag and cyprus map and the olive branches in the centre.

also i think UN proposed flag is pretty childish. it looks like fenerbahce and galatasaray colours put together. hehe.
