Strictly speaking, the translation is en_GB, so a Union Flag would seem 
appropriate. What we are essentially doing with this project, however, is 
creating an en_GB translation with some minor compromises for the wider 
Commonwealth.

I'm on the fence as to which of the two logos (Union or Commonwealth) is 
better. The internationalist in me would like to see a Commonwealth symbol, 
but on the other hand the Union Flag is far more recognisable.
