I've been spending some serious time of late producing our family flag. I'm from England while my other half hails from Sarawak, Malaysia. So I wanted to make something that blends our two backgrounds in a simple way.

On the left hand side is half of the St. George's cross with one quadrant of the British flag, representing me. On the right is the star and crescent of Malaysia, along with the red and black diagonal stripes of the Sarawak flag, representing my wife. The St. George's cross and the crescent combine to make the letter 'H' for Horne.

The Horne Family Flag is taking pride of place in our home and is a reminder of who we are, where we're from and how two different cultures have combined harmoniously.
Making a family flag is a lot of fun - why don't you give it a try?!

ReplyDeleteHi Duncan,

I love your family flag, nice design!
ReplyDeleteNice one Duncan.
ReplyDeleteA good idea and a great family flag!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Duncan!
ReplyDeleteWell done Duncan.. very cool flag with all the aspects incorporated to make it a family affair! Must admit it's not something I had every thought of, I'm wondering what a flag incorporating Scotland, Ireland, Africa and Australia would look like :)
ReplyDeleteMarvelous flag.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for dropping by. Grace, you should think about that flag and come up with some ideas. It's certainly got me thinking already :)
ReplyDeleteI love our family flag! Thanks for all the hard work babe!
ReplyDeleteI thought a coat of arms was the usual way of combining family ties and that flags are more a government political level.
ReplyDeleteMo, good comment. While this family flag is just another fun way to unite us, I have also been thinking about a coat of arms, both borrowing bits and pieces from existing coats of arms, and starting entirely from scratch with my own ideas. It's quite tough!
ReplyDeleteFidelia, hope I managed to equally get our various flags represented!
