Royal Standard of Canada
Flags made quite often vary in quality, and unfortunetly the ones in the pics you cited were poorly made. These three seen ' HERE  , including the one for Canada, were used at HM's Corronation ceremonies, which would explain why the ones for Canada and New Zealand are missing their center dics with the Cypher. In this case, they were not adopted yet as HM's personal standards, but were made as per the official arms of Canada and NZ at thetime(which is also why the leaves are green). Not all flags are made-up to the quality they should be, but that doesn't change what they should look like. Please do not revert back to your version again, it is not correct.

My source is not outdated, it's very current. Flags are a work of art, and just because the version on the Peace Tower has less detail, that doesn't mean it's correct, I've seen many pics of the Royal Standard each varying in levels of detail. . The reason I didn't colour the leaves green is quite simple. The version in th ephoto I supplied, was based off the Royal Arms of Canada from 1923-1956, which had green leaves instead of the current read ones, and as the Queen had her corronation in 1953,that's why on that flag they were green. Since the Arms were changed in 1957 to have red leaves, that's why the current standard of the Queen has them also in red, since it was adopted officially in 1962. If you don't even do basic research like that, you hardly have a right to say yours is right just becuase of a pic or two. Stop reverting to the lesserly detailed verion by yourself.

Another explanation also, for the flag on the Peace Tower having less detail then the one in my provided photo, is this: All that detail takes alot of fabric, alot of stitching, and all the adds weight. With that weight and detail comes not only the added difficulty of flying it from toweres, but that it would add to the wear from high winds. That's why indoor flags tend to be of better fabric and quality, because they will last and not be ruined by the elements. Fry1989 (talk) 07:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

You are clearly ignorant on the matter. Your version is incorrect, and whether you are willing to admit it or not, you're wrong. The Royal Standard is by law, strictly a banner of the Royal Arms of Canada. The Royal Arms have a strict blason, and therefore the Royal Standard follows that. You haven't done your research, all you do is cite a couple of recent photos, and say that trumps everything else. If you don't stop reverting, there's gonna be a problem, because I'm not the only one who agrees that you are wrong, since another user also reverted back to mine, from yours. If you're really gonna be stubborn as a mule on this, upload yours seperately as a variant, but my version stands. Fry1989 (talk) 18:46, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
