9 Possible variant as a triangular flag

• THE DIAGONAL  appearance of the islands referred to earlier, suggests a possible use as a triangular flag, hung from a pole mounted outside a building, perhaps over an entrance; or when carried on a staff such as at the head of the NZ team at an Olympic Games opening ceremony.

As with the banner, or vertical flag, a triangular flag hung from a pole at 45 degrees does not require wind to display

The triangular version would always require a flagpole. On the other
hand, the triangular version will always fly. Perhaps fluttering on the sterns of boats?

• N.B. The islands’ outline on the obverse [above] and reverse [right] would differ slightly in size; in order to fit, the outline on the reverse would need to be reduced to about 95% of the size of the obverse.

Other triangular variants may be possible [e.g. a pole at c. 65 degrees, from which a narrow, pennant-like flag could hang]
