🇬🇧 Does the Union Jack represent you?
For more reasons than one, the United Kingdom’s flag doesn’t seem to symbolise ‘unity’ in the way that it should.

Like with all symbols, they’re just shapes and colours until we give them meaning. They shift with culture, politics, and time until eventually, when that meaning no longer fits, design has to adapt.
Regardless of today’s mixed associations with the flag, my main grumble is that it doesn’t equally represent the four countries it represents, especially Wales.
I designed a few alternatives, with the priorities being, equality, inclusion and unity.
