We are looking for good ideas for a simple flag that we can use to represent Calis Carnival. The design must be simple and easy to produce and must be representative of Calis. The final design chosen will be used to decorate the 2010 Carnival and on various Carnival publicity.
If you have any suggestions please can you let me know.
Thanks
Chrissie
(flying the flag for Calis Carnival :D )

a wavy blue stripe at the bottom and orange at the top, perhaps with a palm tree in siloette - representing the famous sunset!
-
like that idea Abby
-
How about a white flag with a squashed mosquito in the middle.

Game over, BM06 Wins,[:o)]

That's really, really clever Highlander - my only thought is that the Turkish people may see it as defacing their flag - as you know you have to be so careful out here.
Thanks to others for their suggestions, keep them coming in and they will all be considered.

I should have thought of that Chrissie.

A circle of dancing children to represent the good the commitee have done and will continue to do.

a picture of the sunset as you all put a lot of sunshine in peoples lives. well done. would it be possible to do some fundraising in
the summer months.

Hi H, again very good suggestion but it is not just for posters etc, it is to have flags printed for use on the carnival route etc and we want to be able to re-use them each year so that they become recognisable and being the tight skintflints that we are we only want pay out once ;) (ps on another matter, phone call from mum today - all received ok thanks :))
Carole - as soon as the Carnival is finished and we have tied up all of the loose ends we all go into hibernation until September when the fundraising calendar starts again. It is only a 3 month gap and to be honest it is too hot and we all need a holiday!
Please keep the ideas coming - all of them will go into the melting pot in the next few weeks to be considered. Thanks :D
-
Just realised Highlander, your first flag was my initials - even greater suggestion :D
-
only thought that people coming on holiday could help with fundraising,
perhaps just a raffle or by making a donation.
-
I've always thought that Croatian football fans look spectacular in their red and white checked shirts and especially so when they are all waving their simple red and white checked flags.
(http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q214/highlander_010/crotians.jpg)
So here's another two suggestions. One copied straight from the Croatian fans with the orange being the setting sun and the other with the same orange and with the blue being the sea (also famous CBF colours of course).

Perhaps supports of the carnival could have tee shirts made with some of the proceeds going to the charity.
PS A finally thought on my first flag if I may. Although it may lessen the effect, would it be any less offensive if the colours were changed - say blue crescent and star against white background (think it's the case that there is a flag with white crescent and star against blue.
That's it from me, I'll shut up now.
-
H, A change of colour could work - it will go into the suggestion box as will all of the other ideas from this forum - like I said please keep the ideas coming :D
Carol - we will give some serious thought to your suggestion. Any fundraising in that summer period would have to involve the Carnival Committee otherwise it would not be legal out here but I am sure we could manage a raffle or something. Certainly holidaymakers could really help us by bringing out donations of items for raffle and future tombola sales - any unwanted gifts, hard to get groceries, bottles of duty free and so on - it all helps to raise money for the kids. We will also accept financial donations for which official receipts will be issued and any loose change can go into one of our collecting buckets.
Fundraising aside, we are also looking for people to bring out materials for the carnival event itself that we find difficult to obtain here in Turkey and are also looking for sponsors to financially sponsor various elements of the week. If anyone has any ideas on how they can help please contact me.

As you know before Christmas we were asking for suggestions for a carnival flag. Well these suggestions are now being seriously considered.
A member of the carnival committee who will remain nameless (but he wears a blue quilted jacket with a drawer string hood) has carried out an in depth search of flags on the internet and advises that they should be only 3 colours, not contain any figures or letters,be instantly identifiable and look as good droopy as when flying - a really tall order :D
If you have any more ideas please get back to us as we will be selecting a design in the next few weeks. Thanks :)

That could apply to apply to some of the poeple who have made suggestions ;).
More seriously, does it have to be three colours.
-
H, we are advised by our "friend in the anorak" that 3 colours is the optimum for flag design ;)
-
Hi Chrissie
I've sent my suggestion for a flag to the Calis Carnival email address as I could not get it on here as I had difficulty with Photobucket
-
Hi Toky have received it and sent you an e-mail. Thanks :)

Sorry I didn't make myself clear - what I emant to ask is can it be, one two or three.
-
Maximum of three please
-
Pi55y you obviously haven't dealt with Highlander before. Allow me to help you...
John
It can be
1 colour
2 colours
or
3 colours
:D
-
or any combination of the three ;)

I like Gorgeous bird idea
It meets the criteria
1. represents Calis with the colours blue for sea and orange for sunset
2. the palm tree could be just left of centre (nearer the stick thing) and the top bit of the palm tree leaning over slightly towards the centre so when the flag blows in the wind it looks like the leaves are moving
3. and has no more than 3 colours
Maybe the main colours blue & orange could have a washed through effect to creat the impression of fluidity...
And I like her idea because it has a summery light hearteded holiday feel to it...

Why not stick to the Carnival logo? it is recognisable from the website simple and clear.
maybe a 2 sided flag Calis Carnival flip to Calis Karnaval?

OH DEAR! note to self,
I must read all post before replying:D[:o)]
-
Yes, note to a different self to read all post. Your idea is super Loz, which THREE COLOURS would you keep :D
-
How about a red or blue flag with a golden turtle.
-
I designed my best logo ever based around a tongue in cheek variation of the Turkish flag, so I'm well aware now that you have to be careful about being accused about 'defacing' it. Mine wasn't disrespectful in any way but the feeling of a couple of Turkish friends was that it possibly could be taken as a little offensive, although they didn't [:o]
All that said and understood, how about a white background, 2 'eyes' made from red stars and one red 'smiling mouth' in a vague moon shape below. A smiling face reflecting the benefit in Turkey of the great efforts :)
And for printing purposes, it is an economical 1 colour (on white).

Is it too late for either of these to be considered.:(
-
No it's not too late. They will also be considered. Thanks
-
Well we are down to a shortlist of 4 and the graphics people are playing around with them at the moment to see what design will produce best - watch this space!
-
We finally have a flag!
- but unfortunately I can't tell you what it is yet until we have the official launch but I think (hope) you will all like it ;) - watch this space!!!!!!!

And the SFCF is awarded to.................. :)
