I have to say there isn't a single flag in that selection of "alternates" that I like better.

I actually find the Canadian flag very unique and at the same time simple...I like that.

Yup, it's simple, but distinct, and that makes it perfect. 

It's really an awesome example of graphic design.

Agreed. Simple is the best.

I also really like the Canada wordmark for the same reason



I find it looks very elegant.

Funny thing, the Canadian flag came up in discussion with the tour guide on a tour I took while in OZ on business.  He thinks they should've gone our route and thumbed their collective noses at the British Empire long ago, by adopting their own new flag like we did.

I agree.  I've had t-shirts with that wordmark on it.
