That is me, that is. 😳
.
I am stuck with faffing with a word templated ( 🙄 ) document from a colleague that I need to add some way of indicating Scottish or England & Wales. The 'best' I can come up with is like this.
.
Any suggestions...and no I am not allowed to get rid of it from Word, as (words) need to be editable from this template...

I like the idea of the diagonal split of the flags, but then the thistle, rose and daffodil idea might be a little less nationalist.

You could just extract the relevant parts from the Union Flag which would simplify things:

It's a bit messy having different sized icons.

Can you use an outline map of the British Isles with the relevant England/Scotland/Wales bits filled in? Might need colour to work well though.

Do a Saltire crossed out, Ghostbusters-style.

Can you not just write the names of the relevant countries?

I said that. Apparently it looked unbalanced to have two names vs one, and Sco or Wal/Eng didn't cut it either....
My next bid was to pay a proper designer to sort the whole template out properly...apparently that costs... 😉

OK, how about a big version of something like this

as background with one (maybe transparent ?) text box over scotland and then another over E&W ?

Not sure how Scotland and England match the requirements in the text, Wales is the imperial measurement of land mass/area, and Belgium the metric equivalent.
