Forum flag

An open thread, with @AB having the final decision.

Having attended my first Ute muster, I'm getting the hang of what's required.

The more bling you have, the more interest you get. lol

Accordingly, I'd like to propose that a NissanPatrol.com.au flag, be unveiled.

I'd like to see a white flag with the words NissanPatrol.com.au in red/grey with the lettering having a black outline, and maybe, at the owner/driver discretion, have their forum name at the bottom of the flag - ie. DX grunt.

I believe the flag should be big, bold and beautiful – big enough to be mounted on a broom handle. Lol.

I'm hoping to have the flag on my ute, on display at the Town ‘N’ Country Ute muster in Albany WA on 10/Nov/17

Does anybody know anybody who makes flags? I can inquire about it from over here if necessary.

Responses sooner rather than later would be appreciated.

Take care out there.

The place that does my stickers etc would be able to make a flag,
even small ones like you see on Australia day,,mounted on the gutters.
Once you get a final design on a PDF I could get a quote if need be..

Great idea BTW

Western Patrol flags, stickers??

I am not on Faceache.

It's just a link to what I've already said.

Legend Rossco, I like it!

How big are you thinking, I might get one too.

If we don't get much help here then pm me. A good mate of mine runs a sign company and may have some contacts ;)

I wouldn't mind getting one myself for forum meet ups.

White in a flag ? Needs a rethink , especially after I've regressed the wheel bearings and turn around for something to wipe the hands on !

Fairly big.

Big enough for a broom handle to hold the weight/stress of it flapping in the wind. lol.

Thats what your mate riding shotgun is there for. :drunk:

Not sure about a Flag. Other than a B&S Ute Muster i can't see it ever coming out. A couple of Forum Banners to set up at Forum Camp sites and Meetups though would be Awesome!

I reckon a flag would be fun, we could small eyelet the end to use as a banner also and use it for proud waving hooked up to a vehicle!

I'll support an aerial flag. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/02/180.jpg

Great idea about the aerial flag.

Size and placement are important.

I'd hate for anybody to have a crash, or have the cops involved in any way, because they couldn't see properly. It could get quite messy, and costly.

There would obviously be many uses for the flags, but I was thinking mainly for, in my case, ute street parades and competition judging.

For DX grunt, I was thinking about an aerial flag at the front, and a big Forum flag and an Australian Flag at the back, on broom sticks.

Keep the ideas coming, people.

Take care out there.

I would have thought that will all those aerials on DX you wouldn't need broom handles

Watch out grunt, this post has been flagged

If you're doing flags then maybe also make some smaller hi vis jobs so people can use them in the dunes

So I take it you don't do flags?

I've already got a hi vis sand flag with a 12v light on the top. I wrap it up with a leckie tie when I'm travelling so that the wind doesn't desecrate it.

Hi vis NP sand flag isn't on the top of my list, but definitely worth the thought. Thanks.

You could do a few of those feather style flags you stick in the ground
Would be great at entrance to a camp site and visible for all to see as well

Mego, please don't use your aerial flag at night - you might burn it with your roof spotties. lol.

For a high vis sand flags, with either flouro orange, yellow or green, getting a material strong enough will be the hard part.

Sand flag would need to be orange flouro shade cloth with the Silver reflective cross.
not sure if theres any room left for a logo. A normal style flag will shred very quickly
even at 60kph


Gutter mount flags with N.P logo like Aust day ones or boxing roo would be worth a thought

Dang! I was gonna suggest the same as taslucas. At least then it'd be useful. Can't imagine that there would be any other circumstances where I'd want to mount a flag on my car. I guess the ute muster mob must have a different mindset to me .......... nothing new in that though! LOL.

I recently replaced my sand flag at a cost of $25. I now still leave it up, but roll it up and tie a couple of cable ties onto it.

Gutter mount flags are another fantastic idea.

What we really need is a simplified abbreviated logo that works for impact and instant recognition. Something like NPF mixed with the Nissan circle badge.
The Web address will go below ofcourse. I'll start having a play.

I store my flag in some 40mm pvc tubing, the same but
smaller could be used to enclose your flag whilst in transit
just a thought.. lol

Is the logo registered as it is now???

Not sure about the logo - @AB Is the logo registered, etc?

No mate it's not registered but we own the domain of course. IpAustralia would never let us register the NP logo.
