Custom Roof Graphic Idea...

Here's my idea for a custom roof graphic. I wanted to bounce it off you guys and see what you think.

It will be divided into 4 quadrants. Starting at the front left and going clockwise...

St. Andrews Cross
St. Georges Cross
St. Patricks Cross
Union Jack Flag

Sounds kinda busy to me. And if you are doing the UK sub-components, shouldn't you have the Welsh flag instead of the UJ in the 4th corner?

Sounds kinda busy here too. But that is why we live in a free country you can do what ever you like and what ever fits your lifestyle.


While we're on the topic though I've always thought it would be funny to see a couple having sex from a top down view printed on a graphic but I don't know how that would fly parked next to a school bus?

How about a roof graphic of a birds-eye-view shot of the interior of the car, with someone in the drivers seat!

I'm planning a dutch lion at the moment...A DS one to match the paint - on my black (no sunroof) roof...

Oooh... as a born hollander... I like. Let me know how it turns out!

The four crosses sounds a bit busy and schitzoid.

The Union Flag Bible.

Often I am called upon by the gods of swag to 'draw' a Union Jack and I found this handy reference page a long time ago. It's full of ''learned comment." Careful with it ,though ,it's detailed enough to make anyone's head ache. You may find it goes down more easily with a nice smooth Boddington's.

http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/uni...t-construction


Here's a fine excerpt:

Areas. If the flag is drawn 60 by 30 as in the top diagram, then the various parts have areas as follows, where s is the positive square root of five. The red of the cross of St George is of area 504 square units. The blue of the cross of St Andrew is in eight pieces, four larger and four smaller. The larger pieces each have area (335-75s)/2; the smaller each 445/4-30s; giving a total blue area of 1115-270s, which, at about 511.261646 square units, is slightly more than 1.44% larger than the cross of St George. The red of St Patrick is in four pieces, two larger and two smaller, these respectively each having area 20s and 20s-5; for a total of 80s-10, about 168.8854382 square units. Thus the flag is red : white : blue in the proportions 494+80s : 191+190s : 1115-270s, or about 37.38% : 34.21% : 28.4%.

Head hurt yet? Mine does and all I did was cut and paste.

You know, of course, that the "Union Jack" is the union of the Cross of St. George, St. Andrew and St. Patrick. The only reason the Welsh Dragon is omitted is because Wales was joined to the British Crown before the advent of the flag.

So...what I am saying is, if you fly the union jack you are already flying those other flags.
