Yes (can't do Photoshop) and not necessarily the lovely man playing the flute silhouette either . Lets fly the flag for some songs too.. i64.images obliterated by tinypic/2cr8xo1.jpg[/IMG] A song for... i63.images obliterated by tinypic/21mdx8n.jpg[/IMG] Don't the Americans fly flags outside their homes(on the porch in the garden with the white picket fence....) So taking this further we should fly a different Tull flag every day ( next to the Union Jack) no politics...no politics

A couple of suggestions from the internet - anyone with photoshop? Unfortunately I don't have photoshop but I like the ones you've found so far and it would be great for us to have an official JT flag. just a couple of suggestions.

I have PhotoShop, but I'm no expert, not by a long shot. I'll look at Tull images and ideas posted and if I can discover something or make something I'll see what I can do, but my PhotoShop skills are quite basic, I'm not much good at the really extravagant manipulation, but that's what exploring the PhotoShop features is for, to find the new! Can't promise when I'll get anything done though, hope to see lots of ideas posted! A flag? OK then.

I reviewed the features of the program. It may be possible. See image.

Based on the incredible amount of artwork and album designs, is this a possible TULL Flag? Or this one?

Might be even more dramatic without the name in the corner? Mind you I'm not a connoisseur of flags despite living in Northern Ireland.

Just a few comments on designing flags. Yesterday I saw a few things and realized they could not be on a flag, due to how flags are made and used. So some ideas to consider: 1) Both sides of the flag should look as close to identical as possible, and also remember light passes through the flag. Even a Jolly Roger with a black opaque background looks identical from each side. Construction cost and difficulty is greatly reduced following this guideline. 2) Keep the design detail fairly simple, as the impression should be immediate to someone seeing it on a ship from a record store on shore 1 mile away. Or on a passing car at 75 mph on the way to a soccer game (substitute hockey if in N America). Every detail has to be converted into a stitch or a dye effect, which is why flags are usually so simple. Use block colors, not gradients. 3) The design should be scalable, meaning it should look good on a 3" JPEG on your computer, and also when it's a 6' flag 40 feet in the air. This is a balance of design, colors, artistic strategy. 4) Final retail cost of flag directly proportional to difficulty of manufacture and cost of materials. What are you willing to pay? 5) Flag destination ideas: flag pole, car/truck antenna, car window flag holder (popular with sports teams!), window, sew-on (various sizes), decal, sailing ships, concert tailgate BBQ parties in the parking lots, beach parties, boats, on bicycles, top of the Parliament buildings.

This sounds big. Am I going to have to declare this on next years tax returns? You mention soccer - may I add then the flag is made of a highly durable material enough to withstand an English/French/Russian invasion.

You mention soccer - may I add then the flag is made of a highly durable material enough to withstand an English/French/Russian invasion. I agree. The material should be strong enough to support two Greenpeace activists as a tent-like structure when snapped onto the side of a Russian icebreaker overnight. A Tull flag should not rip, wear or color-fade. I don't see what tax has to do with anything, these are going to be made on a secret illegal radio pirate ship, aren't they?

I figure tapping into the creative capacity of this whole forum group would be helped by posting something to stir creative reactions, so here's a start on a flag image idea to jolt some ideas. I don't consider it finished or ideal or creatively all worked out, whatever, but the group can help the process far more than me just sitting here noodling over pixels. Post your ideas about what you want, what's good or wrong with this one, stir up the group and let's have a flag idea pretty clear within a month of Sundays or something before the Sun explodes. LOL. Surely there are way more people here with PhotoShop and a creative notion once in a while...........than the lobby from western Canada. Hello? Echo......echo.........echo.......echo......echo...... JTULL007 - I like the image you posted more, but I'm wondering how much detail gets to get on a flag. I have no idea. The more the better! I put the Tull logo from Under Wraps on it rather than text, just to avoid the "both sides need to look the same" problems.

OK, I see on the main page chat area people are VERY concerned about umbrellas, so here's one for the walk over to the cafe...........

And maybe other things not supplied here in the UK on the NHS such as Tull inspired blankets and walking stick artwork, the latter which would be a godsend for me. They could be trialled here in the UK and then distributed to the rest of the world later

Echo......echo.........echo.......echo......echo...... funny stuff. I suggest a Canadian Tull flag, after all; it's the Very Best Of east&west. The beast from the east is a penguin.

Been busy for the last few days - at least that's what I tell my boss I love the Roots to Branches sun and the green one at the top.

Greened up and double logos on the flag. Umbrella format. That was an interesting idea above to put a Tull logo on the ship sails.
