Here are some samples of what the flag would look like.

Here's the APEC flag just resized:

Here's it after being cropped a bit to show the logo larger:

Neither really show anything, so if we're going to use this it'll probably just be the first.

My vote, if we we're to do votes, would go for "亚太". I really don't think anybody seeing the APEC flag, at the size we have to show it, would think Asia/Pacific.

But, I'm not horribly against the APEC flag, so if we did go for that I wouldn't be at all upset ;).

Yeah, both options sorta suck. :P

I'm only leaning towards this non-descript flag now because:
1) "亚太" isn't that good for Japanese, and it's not really even a "flag".
2) We already have plenty of flags that aren't quite recognizable without using the tooltip, so we might as well complete the set. ;)

Yes, can't really disagree on either points so lets just go for the non-descript flag :).

Ok then. Maybe Marco can come up with a better image.

By the way, here's the logo on their site:

In any case... dumb question... anyone know of any sites actually hosted in the Asia/Pacific region?

This is a version using the logo from their homepage:

Look mildly passable?

Edited to add:
The consensus from here, BabelZilla PM, and email seems to be a "yes" for the APEC flag. It sucks less than the other options. :roll:

I've added the version above for Flagfox 3.2.7. If anyone can come up with a better looking 18x12 pixel blue-green blob, feel free to post it here.

After a bit of hunting around, I've found one: http://www.pacnet.com/inter/index.asp
