This design was inspired by the flags used in the Equestrian jumps for the Modern Pentathlon. Further research found that there is a flag for every letter and a pennant for every number. Using the naval flags and pennants I have created a cushion that circumvents the no ‘London 2012’ restriction imposed by LOCOG on the Woolsack project.
