Hey everyone,
Just a random thought for discussion while we're waiting for some real news about the Netflix Narnia series:
As a flag buff, the design of the Narnia banners interests me; I was intrigued by the fact that both Walden and the BBC changed the color scheme of the flag from the way it's described in the book, possibly because a red lion on a green background doesn't always stand out immediately from a distance. (In fact, this actually violates one of the rules of traditional [English] heraldry: basic colors, like red, green, black, blue of purple can never be placed on top of each other, but only on top of metallic colors, like yellow/gold or silver/white. And Brits were largely in charge of both these productions, so it's possible they were aware of this problem, even if C.S Lewis wasn't aware of it or didn't care .)
The designers of the new series may not think the same way. After all, a red lion on a green ground still looks attractive. And Walden's red lion on a yellow ground looked WAY too much like the Royal Lion Rampant flag of Scotland.
So, what do you think? Should Netflix go with a by-the-book version of the flag, or come up with its own colors?
