<p>[via <a href="http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=3278">Japan Probe</a>]</p>
<p>Last week Ian Lucas, a Labour member of the British Parliament representing Wrexham, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=HEX2HUN5CU1PTQFIQMGSFF4AVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/27/nflag127.xml">called for the Union Jack to be redesigned</a> to include the Wales red dragon and properly represent the region as a part of Great Britain. At first, submissions for possible designs sent into the Telegraph were mainly from within the country but then 2-channelers <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/30/nflag130.xml">lent their assistance</a> with some clever designs. There was the above entry with Louise from <em>Zero no Tsukaima</em>&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-2037"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://anime.crumplednapkin.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/unionjack_anacoppola.gif" /></p>
<p>&#8230;one with Ana Coppola from <em>Strawberry Marshmallow,</em> who hails from Cornwall (and surprisingly shares a birthday with me)&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://anime.crumplednapkin.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/unionjack_leekdesign.gif" /></p>
<p>&#8230;and one that eschews the dragon altogether and instead uses another Welsh symbol, the leek.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://anime.crumplednapkin.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/unionjack_cooldragon.gif" /></p>
<p>The culture minister Margaret Hodge said there were currently no plans to redesign the flag but did also mention Mr. Lucas raised a &#8220;valid point&#8221;. Personally, I think this last one is the best out of all the designs on the Telegraph&#8217;s website because it integrates the dragon well while notably changing the form of the beast.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://anime.crumplednapkin.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/unionjack_geassyoutube.JPG" /></p>
<p>I also saw a Code Geass one in a YouTube <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=GFKxiWDt8Kk">video</a> so I know that the obvious joke involving Britannia was made.</p>
