If she had done this to an American coat of arms, she would be in jail and charged with copyright infringements and probably treason and whatever other charges the slimy lawyers could dig up !!!

Nice bag. But wow, you would think an artist would know better than that

WHILE WE ON THIS MATTER, IS IT LEGAL FOR A BAHAMIAN COMPANY TO PRINT BAHAMIAN FLAGS AND HAVE THEIR LOGO IMPRINTED ON FLAGS?

99% of all Bahamian flags seen by the public have either the wrong blue (aquamarine) or yellow colour because any and every Tom, Dick and Harry is allowed to have them made by whomever they choose, and this includes both the PLP and FNM political parties. Funny how our government does not seem to get up in 'arms' (pun fully intended) about the abuse of our national flag.

@Well_mudda.. The common problem with the color 'aquamarine' is that even though it is the suppose to be the actual colour on the flag, there is an elemental problem that tends to work against this. The colour 'aquamarine' has a tendency to drastically fade away in sunlight hence the reason why a darker colour may be used. This was a common problem noticed after the flag was physically made & flown within the UV spectrum. In terms of printing and other forms of implementation, persons must make sure to keep the color as 'aquamarine' or as close as possible but to simply track down every design maker and charge them before the courts about the use of 'darker blues' would be quite expensive and possibly not get anywhere but as it relates to country, we must ensure that the 'aquamarine' is used.

Exactly! Everyone's up in arms because ...1. She's Foreign and 2. She Foreign. Funny how we disrespect ourselves (Bahamians), our country and National Symbols all the time. But Heaven forbids someone else does it every Man, Woman and Bahamian Child jump on them like wild monkeys. If you want to be respected, respect yourselves. I agree with the flag colours, but also goes for the Coat of Arms, that poor Flamingo and Marlin does be all kinda colour.

I don't think anything would be wrong if it is used to represent the Bahamas positively and unaltered. This lady who simply used the Coat of Arms and manipulated the elements for her own personal & financial gain is a difference. You dont really see anyone doing those sorts of things.

This is what happens when the Bahamas is known to be governed by LOOSEY-GOOSEY CORRUPT Governments ( past and present). Its a no lose situation, 50% (percent) chance they notice and if the do, 100% (percent) a government official will accept money to do nothing about it.

Some high up comrade red shirt needs telegraph to comrade designer - why she needs feels even more Englishwoman's. Send her and her stretch book packing -back across the Englishman's pond, permanently by placing her on immigration's Stop List, Do not allow this Englishwoman's entry into colony of islands. Scratch her and her design and begun designing anew with native comrade designer's competition.
Amen!

Sue the arrogant imbecile.

True yinna gats her wid da evidence......but whats about all dem odder people parading through Nassau wid Haitian flags on dere cars...???.....if yinna gets one ....yinna must also gets da odders too...if yinna stands up fer da Coat of Arms....yinna gats definitely to louder protests against ferreign flags flying on cars....!!!!....Lets protect we Bahamian tings...we family jewels an stands up wid da fiercest determination to protect we national identification of sovereignity ...!!!! MAKE WE BAHAMAS BETTER AGAIN....,!!!.,

Making fun of those Bahamians who have a different way of speaking again Bogart?

Who gave us that new coat of arms????????? ........ she should have used the old Bahamian one.

Big deal, why do people care? I remember Mick Jagger wrapping a union Flag round his shoulders during a Rolling Stones concert in the 70's and all the old bags getting bent out of shape about it. Who cares? The Queen obviously did not as she later knighted him. Find an issue that really matters and put your outrage and your energy into that. Since it will be emancipation day on Monday, join The Organization for the abolition of Slavery. There are more people enslaved today than there were in 1834. Now there is something worthy of passion and attention. A logo on a bag for a seni private weekend gathering, why care?

Amen! Plus free advertising for Bahamas!

I'm not outraged. As I said it's a really nice bag. I just can't get beyond an artist using someone's else work like that. She of all people should know better...it's baffling

Maybe the government should copy her copy and print up some Bahamian bags same quality with forward upward onward together. I want mine in navy blue with a black base. The logo can be in white background. Thats called "poetic justice"

Ain't we supposed to be getting rid of plastic? Well...there you go. I'd pay 25-40 For it

Welcome back Sheeprunner ..!!..das one real good one...da ol Bahamian one.....you aint miss a beat wid da old emblem....

...this woman has a lucrative rental business. The government can always suspend that or tax it if requires monetary satisfaction.

Nothing will come out of this investigation when all the talk dies down. This issue will be swept under the rug because of the guilty party involved. The most she will get is a verbal warning to not do it again from the attorney general. There wont even be a fine. We may be an independent country but the powers that be still have a colonial mentality and will not do anything to offend any member of royalty not matter how distant they may be in relation to the queen.

Hey MadHater "I say send all the whites back to England and be done with it." no problem with this, but we then also need to send all the Greek Bahamians back to Greece, the Sino Bahamians back to China, the Indian Bahamians back to India, the Cuban Bahamians back to Cuba, or perhaps Spain, and of course the Afro Bahamians back to Africa. This will take a huge amount of stress off the Health and Education services as there would be no one left. Who is going to buy my tomatoes then?
