A Welsh MP is calling for the Welsh dragon to be added to the Union Flag. I have no bad thoughts toward this but I would like it to be tasteful. How would it look? How could the iconic Union flag be changed at all? Any thoughts?

A iuntresting idea that crops up every now and again.

Not going to happen tho.

Cost
Sentimentality
Tradition
Recognition

Any one of those is enough to veto it.

Imagine: the dragon without the white and green bar, put in the low right corner, not bigger than 1/9 of the union jack's size.

Wouldn't look too shabby.

If anywhere i'd imagine it would go in the top left as most flags seem to do it.

Let's don't be picky.

Only spare the centre. That would be a bit rich. :p

Sorry, my old graphic design picky-ness flowing through there!

The centre would be a catastrophe.

Here's a flag I found with not only the welsh dragon, but the Cornwall crest! Can't see this one coming to light!
