The pictures speak for themselves. This is a very attractive, smart interpretation of our well-known popular New Zealand icon.

 

The silver fern is becoming increasingly recognized overseas as the national symbol of New Zealand.


It was originally adopted by the New Zealand Native Rugby Team which visited England in 1888 and has since formed part of the uniform (or badge) of successive representative sporting teams. From the early 1900s, the fern leaf has been used as a
trademark for meat and dairy exports. On 18 May 1908 to mark the attainment of Dominion status, the Secretary of State for Colonies approved the New Zealand Government's proposal to substitute a wreath of fern leaves for the laurel wreath on the Governor's Ensign. This usage also continued until about 1935.


The fern leaf has been used as a distinguishing badge for New Zealand military formations, particularly during the Second World War, and was also used to mark the graves of New Zealand servicemen in overseas countries. In the most recent revision (1963) of the New Zealand Coat of Arms, two fern leaves provide a base for the supporters to stand upon.


There is no question that the Silver Fern is the most recognized symbol of New Zealand. For over a century, the Silver Fern has been the emblem of our sports men and women. The Silver Fern is used extensively as a symbol by Government, tourism, trade organizations and commercial brands.
The Silver Fern says "New Zealand".


We can organize any branding if required.
