Glad to see more people raising funds, but in terms of design, this is far better:

Either way, I'm pretty sure that every little bit helps.
you're right, that one is lovely
Looks like a help for Switzerland
What's the connection with Switzerland?
google the swiss flag champ.
Google the Japanese flag champ and go get another latte.
There there don't be so sure of yourself
Swiss Air Force insignia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Swiss_roundel.s…
Lattes for everyone, my treat.
And it was also one of the first insignias that the swiss athletes wore on the olympics.
But I admit that the rectangular shape of the flag makes it the japanese flag because swiss flag is square.
I hate when designers confuse the swiss flag with the red cross: the cross has to be red, not the background.
but then you wouldn't get the japanese flag in the background
Not the Swiss flag, but the Swiss Air Force insignia that gets put on everything:

Some designers need to do some research sometimes, hey ?
Why using the Swiss flag? People should know the difference between the white and the red cross. I dont get it.
