Would like to reach a consensus on this. I know that some see it as the Hello Internet flag. But I think it looks more like a Cross Potent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_potent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_cross

I don't think that's a good look on a British flag, as it's a symbol of Christian militarism. I'd propose we keep the other Hello Internet flag, but remove the Cross Potent, or move the cross to somewhere off the flag.

Personally I wouldn't use a cross potent to symbolise the UK (although it is popularly used by Anglican Christians), but the British flag is literally a combination of the flag of three saints, lol

or move it off the flag

Can we redraw it to the left of the 'HI', so it's further away from the British flag?

I had seen thread, but until the new one starts I'm fixing the canvas to match the template and not overwrite others' art.

I'd love your help to build the new cross to the left of the HI symbol. Currently I'm using all my pixels fixing your overwrites to the flag though. Could we work together on the cross?

I see a too-tall box starting, I'll join in there.

@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works - could you send a template for the new HI Cross? And update the Feddit template?

Sorry for the delay, here's the new template. HI cross flag in new location, and a few other small fixes:
