George Margaritis Proposal 1999 Australian Flag Proposal (Australia) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A flat-vector flag concept in deep blue, showing a kangaroo and a seven-pointed star as the proposed emblem for a new Australian national flag.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue dominates the design, filling most of the rectangular field and giving the flag a calm, formal weight. A kangaroo and a seven-pointed star stand out against it, with gold, red and white providing contrast. The layout is simple and rectilinear, so each motif is clearly separated and easy to read.

Meaning & Symbolism

This is a proposal submitted by George Margaritis in 1999, one of the many designs put forward during the late twentieth-century debate over how Australia should represent itself. The kangaroo is a long-standing Australian emblem, and the seven-pointed star is the form used for the federation star in national symbolism. Together they reflect the creator's own view of a national identity, offered as a private contribution to that public discussion.

Turned in the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the flag sits at eye level as the glass is lifted. The bold blue field and the kangaroo and star are large enough to read at a single glance before the drink is poured.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
